These TVs will have stopped working long before their certificates expire. ;)
Then it’s just a problem for the restaurators in technical museums.

I guess there are more than few people, but not everyone complains publicly.
I just silently installed the necessary root cert.

I’m working on a 2013 Mac mini and can’t upgrade further than 10.14 (don’t want to loose my 32 bit software, and I seem too stupid for VMs).
(I also just upgraded a 2012 Thinkpad Edge with a SSD and current Ubuntu, but that’s a different story.)

It’s not installed. To which port does the command belong?
