Why do computers force updates on you at certain points? Like “screw whatever you’re doing it’s update time!” Kind of thing.
In: Technology
The reality is that there must be a critical patch needing to be applied that without, could result in such things as ransomware, or compromised system for remote access/botnet, etc.
IIRC, almost all Intel CPUs now have a flaw that, well, can’t be fixed (vulnerable during bootup).
Honestly, most people feel entitled to own a computing device because they feel the need, or are provided one from work with expectation that it will be updated. But its ignorance here, not stupidity (they know how to surf the web and buy stuff..), that results in mass infection. Just like real-world pandemic, there will always be some that ignore the rules/law/procedures because they don’t “apply”.
So computers will update and need to restart. Also its not like they didn’t warn you- and if you are ignoring the warning, its going to happen. Or not, and by then, too late.
