You're always talking utter toilets Peak...
Mmm, but that would suggest that you do or don't get certain firmware updates depending on your device's serial number... while we've already experienced that with new updates, roll-outs are done according to location. So in other words (just like their annoying website
), dependent on the IP address that you use to connect to Kobo when updating.
Thus, perhaps Syber updated his new machine at work, and maybe he works at a huge (Japanese???) company that has a big fat weird network VPN'd to somewhere in Japan? Or something?
