The problem with this is that the last few decades have shown us that if you don't at least "nudge" your users to upgrade they often become forgetful, fearful, or downright cantankerous with the upgrade process. Or ignore it completely. This opens them up to all sorts of security risks and incompatibilities that are often unnecessary. And for the record, when someone has neglected to update and falls victim to something, guess who they blame? Most of the time, the company. They want to be magically safe and have beautiful features while also not doing some of the things that may be required to be in such a blessed state. It is a rough problem and, when taken on balance, the decision to automatically update devices and software is probably the safer choice for the average consumer. (BTW, if you are on this forum, you probably aren't "the average consumer".
)
The OP took matters into their own hands (modified how their device works) and now THEY are the one responsible for the experience of their device, not Amazon (This is, of course, just my opinion). This is a choice we all have to make when we purchase modern electronics and decide to do something with the electronic that it is not designed to do. It is neither right nor wrong, but it is a decision that has consequences. And sometimes those consequences are inconvenient or negative.
It's kinda like turning a lawn mower into a helicopter, and then complaining when the company recalls a certain component of the lawn mower that, thanks to what you have done, will bork your helicopter modification.

I think the term was "Tivoization"... Tivo-ization? And I would also like to know what this means?!
