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.
You’re correct. u/anders is that ridiculous dude at the party who, when everyone laughs at a funny joke, does not laugh but instead says “actually…”
U/anders does not get invited to parties

I disagree.
Updates fix buggy software.
It's that simple.
This meme confuses everything from the critical world-wide industry best-practice need to keep firmware and virus software updated, to understanding the difference between software releases that contain bugs and the updates that fix them.
The entire premise is based on misunderstandings and ignorance, like comparing the dangers of vaccines with the dangers of global warming.
This meme relies on people's ignorance and confusion. Oh yeah, I get it... when they don't.
Not a good meme.
I don't mind the down-votes because this is supposed to be a truther community.
But the text in the image says, "I'm NOT software". That's what it's saying - we're not like software. You don't just upgrade people because they're out of date. Because they're not software.
And you're confused because this meme is the definition of the logical fallacy of False equivalence: updating software is a good thing. It's good for fixing bugs in newly released operating systems, essential for fixing firmware exploits and essential for all virus scanning software.
Comparing Covid vaccine boosters with something that is undeniably good makes this a poor meme in the same way as a meme comparing the dangers of socialism with global warming.
The CDC says you should be "up-to-date". That makes humans sound like software! OP says, "I'm not software!" (I.e. I don't need updating like software.) Anders says: OP doesn't make sense, because humans aren't software! You're right, I'm confused. And entertained.
Just like the "vaccines", eh?
