Not a single software ever written comes with guarantees. And the way he was phrasing sounded like PinePhone is a hot potato while everybody else is chill, while in reality everybody's the same in that regard.

It doesn't read to me that the author is stating it's a hot potato, I read it as them just saying "hey guys, look out for this."

Consumer protection laws nevertheless hold manufacturers liable. Small part of why doing hardware is hard.

Would that be the manufacturer of the software or of the hardware? I don't think any court would blame manufacturers for incidents caused by user-modifications (installing 3rd-party firmware)
