Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company
harsh3466@lemmy.ml 1 day agoShit. I didn’t even think of that. I’m using fedora. Tomorrow I’ll be blocking firmware updates for the printer. Thank you for pointing that out.

I should qualify that – I don’t know for sure whether and which distros enable updates to run non-interactively.
fwupdhas the ability to do so and it’s billed as doing so on its github page, but that doesn’t mean that a distro has to actually take advantage of that. Could be that in a default configuration, it only updates stuff next time you invoke it.
