Critical updates come out all the time for all hardware and software technologies. As an end user, your best bet is to set auto update on, and schedule the updates to be installed immediately. You only really need to delay updates if you have to test e.g. for business, or if data limit is a problem.

Update to Brave Browser, less spying, and it strips annoying ads out, even out of youtube.

I'm already being tracked after my covid needle.
Also my 5G coverage is excellent. No need to worry about Google.

It's becoming more common for even infra to be autonomously patched. Upgrades are another matter....

Covid needle provides all the tracking they need as I said so no matter phone or PC.

![]() Different for business, where some coys write their own apps to work with certain version of browsers, so everything needs to be tested first.

For a PC with anyone as a user you should never allow updates except out of hours. I have seen people lose work...important work because Microsoft decided to restart the computer after installing updates. I have also seen updates that fail and the PC needs intervention to roll back...taking several hours of frustration. Those are my concerns for uncontrolled updates, but even for phones you get the likes of Apple rolling out patches that deliberately slow machines down to mitigate battery life warranties....how wonderful.

Never updated my mac book pro since buying new in 2016. I realise were discussing apples and fish.

Never auto updates for an enterprise. Auto updates mostly fine for home users.
At work I just set it to apply out of hours except for the rare critical updates you have no choice in. Very rarely have I lost work even though our network is ****. I've been using Ubuntu on my now 10yr old Dell XPS laptop since Win7 support expired. Update experience is fairly seamless and don't seem to have any issue at all. Given it a second wind. Having said that I have had to go through a lot of ****ing nonsensical commands to accomplish what I want ![]() |
