Automatic software updates have had an impact on me in several ways. My phone, of course. It will, quite unpredictably change how it works. Often in a way that seems worse to me. It may be better for some, but not for me.
Or games I play (computer games). The updates or expansions aren't always better than the original, but there's no way…
Automatic software updates have had an impact on me in several ways. My phone, of course. It will, quite unpredictably change how it works. Often in a way that seems worse to me. It may be better for some, but not for me.
Or games I play (computer games). The updates or expansions aren't always better than the original, but there's no way to go back to the thing I loved.
And computer software that I use for programming often changes without much warning. Libraries and/or frameworks will update in a way that disrupts my workflow. This is the situation most like those recording studios. I know how chaotic it is when I have to port to the new release in the middle of something else, and I'm not on much of a production schedule.
Automatic updates exist for a reason. The reason is that people might well never do it otherwise, and on balance, that's a bad thing. But yikes, the situation we are in has me constantly asking, "Who owns this computer anyway?"
I still have a 2012 Dell laptop with Win 7 for a backup computer. I've never updated the software and it works fine. My 2 yr. old HP laptop with Win 10, updates automatically and there is always a new problem to deal with.
