This is my concern, all the embedded devices happily running in underground systems like pipes and cables. I assume there are at least a few which nobody even considered patching because they’ve “just worked” for decades!

Or like… PLANES! Some planes still update their firmware using floppy disks

They do at least get updates though, and they’re big enough that they don’t get forgotten!
