My smart TV not only hasn't gotten updates in years, but Sharp has stopped selling TVs in Canada. (not sure if they still sell TVs elsewhere). When manufacturers provide a 2 year support on a device that will last 10 years, it is a problem which is why they really need to get it right when product is released and not rely on patches. With regards to liability. Good luck suing a chinese outfit that no longer exists. And pray tell, who gets to pay the millions of dollars of lawyer fees it will cost to sue that bankrupt company with no money ?
