Spotify updated itself without my permission. I blocked it. It updated again. I blocked it again. It found a third way. This is the story of reverse-engineering Spotify's three-stage auto-update mechanism on Windows — and how to permanently shut it down.
- franky47 7mo agoDo you not risk having a client app that falls out of sync with the server’s API endpoints? Loved the headings btw.
- lschueller 7mo agoYou're right. You could expect something like this to happen. But so far it seems that the content api and version control are not interwined. Maybe this will change in future.
