I’ve never had to reboot my MacBook in the last 3 years. I’ve rebooted maybe twice in 6 years (to install a major new OS version).
The need for rebooting is a design flaw, as is the need to manually save work.
- sisu2019 8y agothen you are not patched and you are probably exposed to severe security risks. You could do this on windows ten years ago but it didn't go well for MS
- morningmoon 8y agoYeah you’re right. In my defense.. Risk of being rooted before security update: unknown, possible. Risk of being rooted after security update: unknown, possible. Meh.
- exodust 8y ago"Not being patched" doesn't mean a sinister fate awaits. Not all unpatched instances are critical. A lot of variables need to be in place before many of these "unpatched risks" are significantly risky. Not leaving the house is a good survival tactic against the threat of being hit by bus. That's your argument? Giving me option to perform updates whenever the hell I want, is a reasonable option we once had, it's been taken away... the hand of God reaches down and rips it out of your hands. Please stop advocating that our choices be removed. Even something like a browser status bar was ripped out, first in Chrome, then FF. Not even an advanced choice to have it back. I prefer choice and control, I don't want a new mummy or daddy in form of tech giant or publishing and advertising giant or software vendor telling me how it is, or what I need.
- deergomoo 8y agoMost macOS point updates require a reboot so you must be running an unpatched OS a lot of the time.
- thisacctforreal 8y agoI've found rebooting on mac pretty painless regardless.
