No, ASD signature updates are supported (otherwise ASD would be useless). Asuswrt-Merlin gets a different set of signatures however.Is ASD update another thing that @RMerlin does not do auto as well?

I don't ignore any posts. I read the entire forum daily.
There is a bigger problem, here. Sometimes there is a specific reason that a user is avoiding an update. Maybe there's some application that is broken by the newer version. It could be any number of legitimate things. Just because an update hasn't taken place isn't sufficient evidence of negligence on the owner's part. Even if it was negligence, that's the owner's problem. Only they know the particulars of their situation and the associated costs vs. benefits. In the case of negligent owners, the negligent equipment owner should be liable for any damages caused by their own negligence just as a car owner driving on bald tires that causes a collision would be liable for their negligence.I think some folks are missing a point about forced updates and unmanaged devices...
In managed devices - the code is signed, as is the bootloader - since this needs certificates to validate the source and the code signatures, this is fairly safe.
It seems odd to me from a legal standpoint for a manufacturer like Asus to take on the liability here.
Given what recently happened with the asd "glitch", I'm debating buying a mini-PC
