They're synonymous with removed features, more breakage, crashes, more vulnerabilities, maybe one security fix and OH WAOW DARK THEME.
Huh, I see only the exact opposite.
I remember Windows 95 being the most famous example of faulty software because it's initial release was very unstable, but the updates fixed things fairly quickly.
So I presume you never update your virus scanning software or firmware to protect against malicious attacks... because you believe that will only make things worse? /s
Good luck with that.
I was going to say this- my first advice to any one who has bought a new computer over the years is to get rid of mcaffee or Norton and get something else because they bog down the system so much.
Amen to this. Your PC comes with windows defender. Your body comes with an immune system. Installing Mcafee is the same as getting covid boosters. It's a perfect analogy.
CCleaner is snake oil lmao.
No. Read my comment again, but this time read it carefully. I'm talking about all software updates ranging from operating systems, firmware, software and virus scanner signatures.
No. Virus scanning software is not obsolete, it's world-wide industry best practice. Any company that's running software, firmware or virus scanning signatures that's more that a few months old, is asking to be fucked. We both know this is how the real world works, at least in this universe.
If you walked into an interview in any information technology company and bragged about how you don't believe in updating firmware, software, operating systems or virus signatures... the interview would end and they would laugh at you... and they'd be right to ridicule you.
This meme is good. You are way over-thinking it. This comeback will shut an NPC up. It’s not about some obscure, highly-debatable point about firmware updates, it’s about man vs. machine. It’s not just about logic either, it’s about wordplay. It doesn’t even have to be rational to work.
You have to make your argument in like one sentence to reach a normie verging on turning into an NPC before their minds identify the argument as coming from a non-conforming source and they stop listening. “Because I’m not software.” That stops their attack and they have to defend.
And then Windows 95 became more stable. (Well, it was still Windows 95, so...) And when 98 came out, some organisations would choose to stay on 95 for a while until 98 stabilised and they were sure they could upgrade without problems. This was very common for a lot of software. It seems less common nowadays. Everything's rolling-release, "update now!". Instead of bug fix releases, bugs are fixed (if at all) in the next release bundled along with all the new bugs.
Go get your booster, cuck
Seems to me software quality peaked at some point, after which projects started to implode under the weight of their own complexity, caused by an obsession with frameworks and design patterns. I can't determine when that peak was. Windows 95 was before that peak, while desktop software written in JavaScript is definitely after.
That's quite a presumption. I don't use any. Most times when I'm forced to update software, it's because the old version refuses to work and demands to be updated (e.g. Skype). Usually after the update, something else is broken (but at least they added new emoticons!).
Depends what firmware you're talking about.
Thanks. It's been going well so far.
I think Windows XP might have been the peak. That's why I have it on my computer in a virtual machine.
Good taste.
No, I'm confident civilized people can disagree without resorting to personal attacks, caste class systems or division.

I've read your 12 hour posting history here.
Ok, so you don't know anything about Q.
Ok, so you don't mind being incredibly offensive to minorities.
Mmm hmm. Tippy-toing around the "Jewish question" like you've just been banned and created a new account 12 hours ago.
It makes complete sense, with the above revelations, how you are contrarian to the hilarious meme posted above.
I'm just calling it like I see it. You've been deported already, you're on a fresh account and already pushing the limits for as long as you can get away with it before you lose this one as well.
