You Know What Sucks: Forced Software Updates

You know what sucks? Forced software updates. Gotta love when your phone or computer randomly updates without your permission at the most inconvenient times possible. Why isn't this malicious practice illegal? In my opinion, forced updates are anti-consumer and should be only OPTIONAL.
Most updates don't really incorporate any new features and rather bog down your device with unnecessary changes, feature removals, or random patches that take up a whole gigabyte of valueable storage for whatever reason. That's a prime example of planned obsolescence! Not to mention some updates aren't properly tested and contain broken code that can disrupt or even brick your PC!
More people need to speak out about this unfair business practice that tech companies exploit to annoy their customers. Either that, or we need more third-party software that can block or evade these pesky updates.

To be honest, I enjoy updating my Galaxy devices but the Windows one is somehow hard.

[@Pixal2014]

Remember the update on KZbin the made you not able to watch videos on your iPod like seven or eight generation It took a couple days for it to be fixed

You know what also sucks, courage the cowardly Dog being removed from checkered past inor TV, unless courage the cowardly Dog airs on Boomerang nights, then I'll be happy ❤

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

At least it's being replaced with Billy and Mandy...

[@DirgeHole-2866]

Also keep in mind, CP shows can't air on CN or Boomerang since it's staying on Adult Swim.

[@ryanwilkins2233]

​​@@ArtieRaccoonReviewsI don't really like Billy and Mandy but I get the love, and I guess it was courage's time to go, but maybe boomerang can bring it back to there programs and air it at night or In the morning ❤️

[@ryanwilkins2233]

​@@DirgeHole-2866courage is being removed by checkered past so other channel can use it right? 😊

[@DirgeHole-2866]

@@ryanwilkins2233 No. The closest thing of Courage airing on CN/Boomerang is the crossover which AS can't air.

This is total BS that certain programs wont let us stay in versions that are the best. And sometimes, when a program forces you to update, it might be a crappy/futile update that might not be as well recieved as previous updates. We basically need a mod on all programs to disable forced updates.

Linux does a great job with updates. Not only are you allowed to update whenever you want to, but you can still get work done while it updates. I even saw that Linux updates can free some space too, and updates in general on Linux don’t take up that much space. All those updates in Linux are meant to improve the Linux experience, no matter what you have Linux installed on.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

That sounds like a match made in heaven

[@courtneymertz4596]

It gets even better. Some Linux Distros like openSUSE and immutable Distros like NixOS and Fedora SilverBlue allow you to roll back to a previous state if something goes wrong, including updates that mess something up.

Steam is no better than windows. Steam update crashes your computer and installs itself when you restart your computer. something you did not mention Updates can include censorship of content, etc. I hate updates its BS just want to use the device.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I forgot to mention the unnecessary feature removals, it's terrible and this is why archival is important.

[@nintendofan365]
