It's true I never told Windows my working hours, but I would shut down mostly nightly and it'd still happen.
I just find it to be incredibly user-hostile to force updates in the middle of a session, starts to feel a bit more like Microsoft's computer than mine at a certain point.
- Arainach 7y agoIf you turn off your machine and never give it a time to install updates except during the day, that's inevitable. Security updates are more important than user convenience for the same reason that vaccines are more important than people's opinions.
- cortic 7y agoI wonder when consent stopped being important? And how that was accomplished. I know the mentality from authority has always been; WE the government can stick anything into your body, cause we know best. And WE the multinational corporation can stick anything into your devices, cause we know best. But we the consumer seem to have just given up. If i wasn't averse to tinfoil hats I'd say it was something in the water.
- mr_woozy 7y agowhat an asinine perspective. If you remove the users autonomy from how / when that security gets applied you've now made the security situation quantifiably worse, for 2 reasons, one users will now jump through hoops to confound your mandatory process, two you're impinging on possible mission critical infrastructure which blanket policies decided arbitrarily by a software conglomerate.
- aldoushuxley001 7y ago> Security updates are more important than user convenience for the same reason that vaccines are more important than people's opinions. That's exactly the attitude I'm trying to get away from.

- beamatronic 7y agoI know the feeling, it’s like rent-seeking applied to consumer electronics.
