What load of horseshit.
1. Nobody auto updates my linux machines. They have no malware.
2. It's my job to change the oil in my car. When Ford starts sending a tech to my house to tamper with my machines "because they need maintenance" will be the day I am no longer a Ford customer.

- cromka 2y agoNot to mention CVE mitigation.

- NegativeK 2y agoI assume that comment was saying that they handle the update process and that their machines don't have any malware on them. I ignored it because it was somewhat abusive and is missing the problem that automatic updates are trying to solve: that most people, but not all, don't do updates.
