While you are probably right, when I see that features are just turned off in software I tend think the whole thing is made for under 35k and it is just pure profit taking to enable those features. So...
a) for 35k why would I pay for something I won't use? leave it out on the assembly line and it should be 30k
b) for 40k why would I pay for something that is technically there for 35k?
Because they actually fix their vulnerabilities?
Because it does what I need and just works?
Because it was free? (although it is a monthly fee for most now)
If it breaks, they replace it for free
Not everyone needs a network war room
- things I don't use but should be included for completeness -
Because it works with their TV service and STBs.
Because getting support if a customer has an issue is easier, they don't tech support third party routers.
It gets better than that. This update also disabled being able to rename the admin account, I had a custom admin name and password - perhaps that was part of the vulnerability - but it was not fun finding you were essentially locked out of your own router unless you entered the default password printed on the router. All with no warning.
It also disabled mac filtering, completely gone from the UI and it seems some people had issues that had set mac filtering were now unable to connect those devices with the router. With this vulnerability news, the feeling they rushed out the update is confirmed.
Anyone that goes live with their joke before April 1, UTC should be blacklisted from the news. And judging by the devuan news just posted to slashdot, slashdot itself should be included:(
Christmas is from mid November through December.
Black Friday is really no more as retailers play leap frog to beat the others, about one day earlier each year.
Now April Fools day is on March 31st.....
My local Shoprite has three self checkouts just for customers that bring their own bags (you can buy those reusable canvas bags right there on the spot too). You only mistakenly go to those lanes once...
You take a walk with your groceries? I wonder how people did it when paper was the only option? I hope they kept a written record of these far ancient times, otherwise you are doomed.
Client would be correct, they have an ongoing relationship with the dealer. Few people buy a car outright, most are leased or financed. Even buying outright you have warranty and 'free' maintenance for a few years.
It's not really management. It's the whole modern attitude to product development. 'Get the hardware out there, we will fix any issues in software later..' For trinkets and phones this sort of works, but for planes and other life-at-risk products it doesn't work so well.
It's more greed than anything else, corporations are gonna corporate as long as there are share holding investors that have a vote.

That is not how capitalism powered by shareholders works. Nothing ever gets cheaper, have you not noticed that?
In this case it is more about the journey instead of the outcome, which is sort of like 'wherever you go, there you are.'

But they did fix the problem, that is better than most. Vulnerabilities happen, even for pfSense.

Using your methodology, I think you equate to a dog, here is why: you just dumped (TM)s all over your post.
Yea, I lazily checked UTC to make sure too.... oops; silly time zones, some are +14:00.

allowing local governments the option to impose a 5-cent fee on paper bags
And there it is, politicians funding their little pork barrel projects.

Slow news day I guess.
Yes, but who hires these insufficient managers (on purpose)? Greedy shareholders.

Don't forget the roll of duct tape, to you know, strap it onto your laptop.
Are the ones being honored on said day. Ironic.
They avoid things like KISS at all costs, otherwise it is hard to keep the money flowing.
Just change the battery...
Just reset all the subscriptions on both parties, 'we could not determine which ones were blackmailed or automated into subscribing'.
What I see looks more like a VW Beetle knockoff.
Were you expecting Marvin or something? This could be Earth in a million years.
I like it.
