      It has been abandoned for about 5 years so I wouldn’t use it. Also obligatory lemmygrad complaint.

        It does only 1 thing and does it well. Has absolutely no connection (Wi-Fi, data, BT). How is that dangerous? I genuinely don’t know, which is why I’m asking.

          There is no one to find and fix security holes. Also it requires a not of privileges so if something goes wrong you are in trouble.

          It is not as big of deal when it is something trivial like a game. The problem is when it is controlling critical system functions with high levels of permissions
