Random strangers running unknown, untrusted code on your computers is the worst. It's a good thing we patched that security flaw by letting the _right_ random strangers run unknown, untrusted code on our computers. As something of a friendly reminder, it was Microsoft this time, but it's a matter of "when" not "if" till every other OS with that flavor of security theatre is similarly afflicted (and it happens much more frequently when you consider the normal consequences of a company owning the device you paid for -- kicked out of email forever, ads intruding into basic system functions, paid-in-full device eventually requires a subscription, ...). Be cautious with automatic updates.
