Just added a recorder? What? Read the changelog. They fixed multiple vulnerabilities. Yes, you need to update!

if it was a car and you got a notice saying to bring it in for free service, would you say no?

don't understand cars?

30 minutes to stay on top of this game to avoid 30+ minutes in jail/prison, pick one.

The Tails team literally stated there are "numerous security holes in 2.11" here: https://tails.boum.org/news/version_2.12/index.en.html

There was a similar statement for 2.10, etc.

They schedule rolling updates for a reason...to keep users secure. You may not have realized...but many of the Tails updates are aligned with Firefox ESR updates.

So...do you have to update? No, you most certainly don't.

Updat you say. Since you can't even spell, I'd wager you should now and always update your security focused software, especially if it's an entire OS dedicated to privacy.

I agree with always updating tails but I wonder if he meant like just because there's an update to tails, does it mean that 2.10 is no longer a safe OS to operate? Because that can't be the case. It's not like 2.10 isn't still a privacy tool that works better than its earlier versions, just may not be equipped with the most recent updates that obvious help increase OpSec and is ultimately why you should always update.

Maybe he is out of space on his partition and has to manually upgrade, or start from scratch (which almost seems easier to me), with a newer usb drive that's faster and has a higher capacity, so your partition won't fill up in the future, and you can simply do the quickest tails update, when prompted each time they come out. =)
