#software-updates — Public Fediverse posts

Schon spannend, wie viele #Menschen, die in Häusern wohnen, an denen sie keine Lademöglichkeit einbauen können, denken, dass das Laden beim #Elektroauto das große Problem ist.

Das viel größere Problem sind die Softwareupdates, die immer wieder kommen und die man dann über einen WLAN-Hotspot vom Handy runterladen muss.

Das Auto hat eben mal 5 GB gezogen. Einfach so.

PCMag: FCC Extends Update Deadline for Foreign-Made Routers, Drones Until 2029. “The FCC’s bans on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers and drones initially included an expiration date on software updates, but the commission has now extended the cutoff from 2027 to 2029.”

9to5 Linux: Firefox 150 Is Now Available for Download, This Is What’s New. “Highlights of Firefox 150 include support for the GTK emoji picker on Linux to let you insert emoji by using the Ctrl+. keyboard shortcut, and the ability to reorganize PDF pages directly in the Firefox PDF viewer, including moving, copying, and deleting pages.”

Today's very special WTF moment. Apparently Adobe takes it upon themselves to modify /etc/hosts when their software is broken. Luckily I skipped the March update.
Read those release notes people.
I also made a screenshot of the insanely long tracking URL you get sent to when you click on the release notes link in the app.

Moto G17 – El nuevo teléfono de Motorola que nace desactualizado y sin futuro

Motorola ha lanzado en Europa los nuevos Moto G17 y G17 Power, dispositivos de gama de entrada que, a pesar de ofrecer especificaciones equilibradas para su precio (pantalla FHD+ de 6.72″, chips MediaTek Helio G81 y cámaras Sony Lytia), presentan una estrategia de software muy controversial.

Los puntos clave del conflicto:

• Obsolescencia de Salida: Los dispositivos llegan al mercado con Android 15, una versión que ya se considera desactualizada para el cronograma actual. En un contexto donde Android 16 lleva meses en el mercado (con una adopción del 7.5%), lanzar hardware nuevo con software de la generación anterior supone una desventaja competitiva técnica desde el primer día.
• Ausencia de «OS Updates»: A diferencia de otros modelos de la marca, Motorola no garantiza actualizaciones de sistema operativo para estos terminales. Esto significa que el usuario podría quedar «atrapado» en Android 15 durante toda la vida útil del teléfono, sin acceso a las nuevas funciones de versiones futuras.
• El Vacío Legal de la UE: Aunque la normativa europea exige 5 años de soporte, la interpretación de Motorola se limita a actualizaciones de seguridad, parches correctivos y funcionalidad básica. La empresa aprovecha una laguna en los requisitos de diseño ecológico de la UE para cumplir con la ley sin necesidad de elevar la versión del sistema operativo.
• Inconsistencia de Marca: La estrategia resulta contradictoria dentro del ecosistema de Motorola, ya que ocurre poco después de que la empresa anunciara su primer teléfono «Signature» con promesa de 7 años de soporte total, evidenciando una brecha de calidad de servicio muy marcada entre su gama alta y su gama de entrada.

En resumen: Aunque el hardware es aceptable por £149.99, el Moto G17 representa un modelo de negocio donde el soporte técnico se reduce al mínimo legal, priorizando el bajo costo sobre la longevidad del software.

One of the most striking differences between my #CachyOS :archlinux: system and my #Mint :debian: system is that the #Arch repository will offer me a few hundred #SoftwareUpdates over the course of a week, while when I don't bother to boot the Mint system for a few weeks, the #Debian / #Ubuntu repositories will be like, "We have 10 new software updates for you!"

This is the Arch vs Debian dichotomy in action.

Engadget: Microsoft issues emergency fix after a security update left some Windows 11 devices unable to shut down. “If you weren’t able to shut down your Windows 11 device recently, Microsoft has rolled out an emergency fix addressing a couple of critical bugs that popped up with its latest January 2026 Windows security update.”
