It's not about specialized knowledge...it's about regular maintenance.
Hate me or not...but people can't be trusted (broadly) to maintain things...thats just the way life works.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoWhy should they be forced to, at the expense of things that matter to them, though? That's the problem. Automatic updates were a default. People turned them off because they were annoying. One solution to this problem was to make them not-annoying, but instead Microsoft opted to become aggressive and force people to update. I will never hold anyone who thinks this is a good idea in high regard because they are actively making the world a worse place.

- reflectiv 6y agoThey have to be forced to because they often refuse to. It's really that simple...cry about it all you want. It's a necessary evil...because humans.
