Unpopular opinion: The most-used operating system in the world must automatically apply security updates, eventually even overriding user preference if people never restart.

Right now it’s Windows. If someday it’s Ubuntu, they should do it too. If they don’t, we’d see giant botnets of every computer that people don’t want to update, all compromised by exploits.

To be clear, this doesn’t excuse MS for abusing this update cycle to push shitty products or AI features.

The meme isn’t complaining about auto-updates. The meme is complaining that “Update and Shutdown” doesn’t actually turn off the PC when it’s done updating.

Ohhh, I didn't even realize that was a thing. Makes more sense now. I should probably shut down my PC more often...

Has that ever helped with massive Windows botnets?
