Notice that this never happened with PCs because it was well expected for people to choose and install their own operating system, which is where the vulnerabilities lie. If you have an old PC and you don&#x27;t want to throw it away then you can install a newer OS (or *nix) and your only problem is that it&#x27;s old&#x2F;slow, not that it&#x27;s insecure.<p>Make it trivially easy to install open source firmware and the security problem gets solved by the people who know more what they&#x27;re doing.
