on: My Sony "smart" TV has updated itself and tried to force me to use a new app
Amazon used to provide free networking for its readers... I think that it is very cheap to transfer text/"meta-data"... It might even be sponsored by the government...

Any of them automatically connect to open wifi networks or maybe cellular networks?

The FBI stole my Litecoins from BTC-E ... I didn't even claim that loss because it was very small.

For two programs that do the same thing coded in the same language, I would pick the one with the least amount of lines but that doesn't mean that less work went into it... Probably the opposite

Tesla is already starting to see competitors... if they don't get better quality control, it will probably hurt them soon enough

That's not a real flame thrower.... I used to do something similar to this when I was 10 with a hair-spray can and a lighter

I get your point, but if soldering is the only problem, just get a spring loaded solderless connector for JTAG pads? then it is about the same as USB for many more people?

but it's not physically broken... it's just a different way of connecting to it... so yes I would call that hard bricked, but not broken, since you don't need to replace components

JTAG connector is not that much different from USB at at stage... you just have to remove the case to access it or solder a connector to existing pins? I would call that hard brick... and if JTAG doesn't work, then it might be considered broken by some and need electronic part(s) replaced
