There's a massive difference between a completely silent update and the more common "Update available, install now Y/N?" Apple, MS, etc should do the second.

Apple, MS, etc should do the second. Even with a "do it now, or within 7 days, or we do it for you." Same for the router.
For goods that have safety implications (cars), the updates should NEVER be silent. And probably need a long notification period with a detailed "What's New".
- TylerE 4y agoWhat if it's a fix for an actively-exploited zero day?
- alistairSH 4y agoMaybe give me a day? I absolutely don't want my laptop updating/rebooting while I'm in the middle of work. I understand the need to keep up to date for security reasons, but at some point, I just need my device to work without interruption.
