Three things I knew about firmware updates when I worked for a company that pushed firmware updates to customers 1. Pushing firmware updates to systems out in the wild was a semi-malicious act.  Like lighting the fuse on a bomb or a dud, and handing it to the customer to deal with.. 2. I never met a single person in the computer/hardware/software worlds that thought firmware on kitchen appliances was a good idea. 3. Do more regression testing... lots more. src: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/09/owners-mourn-spoiled-food-after-firmware-update-bricks-samsung-smart-fridges/
