What if I want to use an older mac with my LF2/2+?
- Unfortunately, you will have to use a computer that meets our minimum requirements. 2.2.12 supports 10.13+ and the latest release supports 10.14+. In order to better support the recent release of Catalina (macOS 10.15) and better support the more recent versions of macOS, we've discontinued support for macOS 10.12 and below.
I have a device running firmware prior to 0.10.6. Is it ok that I don't update it at all?
- No. Due to safety considerations, the device must be updated to the latest firmware before continued use.
Can I give away or sell an affected device without updating it to the latest firmware?
- No. In many locations it is illegal to sell a device that has been recalled.

Could we get some kind of download repository going so we can download the firmware in locations that have no internet.
