Eek hard disagree.
Most things I want to auto-update. Preferably at 4am. Somethings I want to disable auto-update.
What I never want is things to update when I’m in the middle of something.
- antiframe 4y agoIt sounds like you want to control a policy of when things should update. For example Firefox every 4am, Kernel when you say so, Python 2.6 never, etc. I understand "something should update itself" to mean that the user doesn't get to set the policy, it does.
- ezfe 4y agomacOS never interrupts the user, for example. Even if you click the install button, if you (X) out of the "restarting" notification it won't restart/install the update.
