Stop Patching Your IoT Kernel. You’re Just Kicking the Can Down the Road.
The IoT industry has normalized a broken model: shipping insecure kernels and calling patching a strategy. Every emergency patch is a debt your future self pays with interest.

It’s time to demand better, or get used to 2 AM alarm calls.
