    That’s more than 2 years. Maybe I’m just being hash but surely you would reboot the device at least once a year

      In a production environment 20 years ago, without a clustered environment? Hell no.

      Hell, I have an airgapped system at home I haven’t restarted in a decade.

          Yeah man, I was a junior back then. But I think my airgapped system at home is fine.

          Now I am a systems maintenance manager and these exploits being discovered have kept me quite busy.

          So yeah, again, we were talking about a story from 20 years ago. A couple of things have changed since then.

          My airgapped system? What are they going to do? Get at my music library? They should go after my NAS, not my home theater.

          And I am such a dork that I bought a 70’ tv and the first thing I did was destroy its wifi capabilities. Now I am past its warranty, and everyone is like, “you mean my TV has been spying on me?”

          My friends said I was an idiot and paranoid. Well, who doesn’t know who is laughing now? Google.
