Netgear just informed users of its older Orbi mesh routers that the gear had reached "end of lifecycle" -- another way to say "arbitrary end of security updates". Options? None really, except to buy new routers or eventually be hacked.

Do you own an EV? It'll work until the car maker says it won't.

@dangillmor EVs aren't inherently connected, just like any other car. The one I'm getting isn't.

@thomasbeagle @dangillmor EVs talk HTTP over HomeAV to DC chargers; new ones with ISO-15118 add HTTPS and certificate revocation.

Which means that EVs need firmware updates just to ensure long term compatibility with charger releases, else you end up like early MG5 models, which Tesla chargers blacklist as the network stack (possibly at the PHY) layer is incompatible.

Stick to AC charging with a car/charger protocol using the classic PWM signalling rather than ISO-15118 (required for all vehicle to grid setups) and you'll be fine
