Question

Should I install a Beta/Day One firmware releases?

Answer

There was a time where software houses would only release a software after extensive tests by a select group of users and the same version would last for months without the need of an update.

Today we are all used to regular updates on every App and on an effort to show the new features as soon as possible developers often rush releases. This means that instead of using a closed group of testers developers are releasing Beta versions to the general public and Day One releases often contains small bugs or glitches.

The perils of installing one of these versions are explained on this blog post.
