....but what if the manual doesn't mention what the device is doing?
Item #1: User buys Jaguar privately. Discovers that said vehicle continues to phone home AS THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
Jaguar service centre points out that ownership can only be changed by ACCREDITED JAGUAR DEALERS.
Private sales are frowned upon by Jaguar.
Not mentioned in the manual.
Item #2: Linksys EA7500 router is usually configured by the handy "cloud" routine on the Linksys servers.
Requires a Linksys "cloud account".
No mention in the documentation about exactly what is enabled "on the cloud". For example, could
someone AT LINKSYS manage the router and the customers LAN?
Other El Reg readers no doubt have thousands of similar examples of missing documentation!
RTFM!!! HA!!!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
