Weird. If I were to personify Windows, it’d be a creepy guy who touches me without consent. Since, you know, Microsoft loves to force updates on you at the most inconvenient times.


We had macOS trigger a update without prompting on some build machines.

Fun times when xcode of course fucking breaks. Apple recently removed "m4" from the cli tools and its only part of the GUI xcode that requires the store sign-in.


The guy at the bus stop who keeps pacing and screaming about nothing while he picks your pocket.

I was going to counter that actually my car's infotainment system actually has MS beat in this department, since it tries to update (and gets caught infinite loops) while I'm driving. But then I realized my car's infotainment system is powered by Microsoft Sync. I guess you're right!


To think an automotive company would allow updates when it's not in park is crazy


Oh don't worry, it doesn't actually complete the update. It goes 95%, hangs, and then tries again. In the meantime, you have no backup camera, bluetooth audio, etc. Fortunately this is an old enough car that it still has hard buttons for HVAC.
