  I poked around in the boot partition. The kernel is ancient!
  Linux version 3.18.71-perf-gaf770dc

    The oldest supported kernel is 5.10 and that loses support in December. That's wild they are using a 3.X kernel

    You'd be surprised how many things you use daily that people still backport the bare minimum to clig to 2.4.x forever

    I really hope those don't have access to any networks.

    good chance the linux running in your high end phone's modem runs 2.x kernel.
    i dont deal with that anymorrle, but last one I saw with 2.x was the pixel 6 pro.

    The pixel 6 pro runs ShannonOS an RTOS system, it's an exynos modem
