This is OK if you are running a system which makes no use of internet services or external connections. However if you do use internet services then the need to update (regularly not necessarily "constantly") can vary from system required changes to SSL/TLS (e.g. Heartbleed, TLS 1.1,1.2 downgrades ), to better support of podcasts or to support changes in internet service such as Tidal, Deezer, Accuradio etc. If you do not update often services break or at worst leave your home network system open to a cyber attack or theft of personal details. For the last 2 years, many users have posted "my favorite station just stopped playing" and very often it is because their system (OS and/or LMS) is not up to date. If the LMS is there for a dependent, often the dependent will not complain and not say anything and suffer the lack of service. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115782 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
