The automatic reboot has made the world a better place, because too many people were incredibly bad at making this risk tradeoff.
It might still be bad thing for taking away agency. But it was also a massive improvement to society.
- malfist 11mo agoThat's quiet a bit of stretch to equate forced update reboots to massive societal benefits
- rocqua 11mo agoThe point was about security updates. Without forced upgrades the whole ransomware thing would have been so much worse as just a singular example.
- ikr678 11mo agoI think it wasnt just reboot inconvenience, I feel like there was a period of time where some software updates would break or make your software experience worse. I have vague memories as a teenager of running older versions of MSN messenger in compatability mode because after a certain version it was full of ads. Android phone software is also very good at this now, I still hestate to update my pixel because each update somehow makes my phone worse to use.
