All these stories give me a though choice. Should I auto update apps on android? Clearly the answer is Yes because of security updates and bug fixes, and maybe the occasional interesting feature. Besides, once in a while an android developing HN poster will complain about all those pesky users that just don't update, and I know their pain very well. Clearly the answer is No because I have no idea if the app will continue to work tomorrow after the next update? Will it start doing something sleazy, causing a worse security problem than just being hacked? Will it break because I happen to use an edge case which will be buggy. I could manually update after a few days have passed, so I can make an informed choice. But finding detailed info for 1 app is challenging, and there are 40 or so on my phone. That's about a full time job, and my parents and neighbors have smart phones too. I mean, I love my radio. You push power, you get music. Easy. I' pretty sure this will happen tomorrow, just like it did the last 20 years. It's not going to decide one day to start walking around and sell a map of the house to ikea or whatever. Now why can't I ask from my phone, being a personal organiser and extension of my mind, to be as trustworthy as this? For now, my personal compromise is to auto update firefox, manually update the OS, and firewall the others and never ever update them when they work well enough. I trust firefox and HME(OS, zombie Nokia) not to fuck up too bad and fix things reasonably fast. I wish i could trust the ecosystems more and just auto update everything, but today? Not gonna happen.
