    but it hasn’t had any software updates in a few years

    Switch over as soon as possible, your tablet could be compromised. I would say that if it has not received security updates in years then it almost certainly is. Article.

    I know moving files can be annoying, but having a device with a common operating system that is years behind in security updates is cataclysmically insecure. And it would probably fix the flash-banging, either by getting rid of the malware or some other fix.

      I agree with everything you said, but I don’t use this tablet for anything other than Youtube, Twitch, e6, and Lemmy, and I’m not logged into any accounts on it. I said I still needed those files, but realistically, I don’t think I’ll need them. I haven’t looked at them in months. It’s just a media consumption device at this point, which is why I couldn’t be bothered to switch yet, but I guess I’ll do it this week, then, just to be safe :3
