Sensible defaults, but built for the power user. Makes sense.

Sensible defaults, but built for the power user. Makes sense.
- anonymousab 5y agoThe old argument is that anything a power user can do, a malicious script can do too. So such options must be removed entirely if there is any chance of a less technically inclined user being tricked into doing it.
- DangitBobby 5y agoThis argument doesn't hold water. At the point malicious software is already on the machine, an automated update doesn't help. And if someone is inducing you to manually turn off automatic updates for malicious reasons... they could just as easily be inducing you to install malicious software directly.
