#forced updates

Forced software updates are the WORST.

I had a video playing on my tablet for some background noise to help me keep my thoughts from straying into trauma territory, and it suddenly stopped out of nowhere to install an update, WITHOUT EVEN GIVING ME A WARNING OR CHANCE TO DELAY IT. Due to the lack of noise, I was distressed the whole time I was forced to wait to use my tablet again.

Whoever decided forced updates was a good idea needs to be flattened into a pancake with a comically oversized hammer.

My phone has forced auto updates at inopportune times and been completely unusable for 10 minutes 3x in the past 2 weeks. This is really not okay with me. Why can't I set a time I'm okay with. Why are you forcing me to let you update at 6pm, 12pm, and 10am??? It's messed up recipes, messed up communications while I'm not home, and messing up my workflow today. I cannot find an option to change this.

Samsung, choke.

Dealing With Windows 10 Forced Updates on Surface Tablets

When Microsoft rolled out Windows 10, they came up with an effective way to make sure people keep their computers fully updated….. they made it happen automatically.

With Windows 8.1, you had the following choices for updates:  (1) to automatically install updates, (2) download updates but choose whether or not to install them, (3) choose whether to even download updates, and (4) never check for…

Very disappointed Mario & Luigi: Dream Team comes with a forced 5.1.0 update as I have been up-to-now able to avoid doing it.

Thankfully, when I switched up to that 32GB miniSD card for the DSTwo, I snagged the latest firmware which is good for 3DS firmware 6.0.0.11x and lower.

Still, I am awaiting the day I can install Homebrew and disable the fucking firmware bullshit like I did with the Wii.

The console firmware updates are, insofar as I've been able to tell, never actually useful for anything. They don't enhance games in the least and are really just a way of Nintendo attempting to kill the flashcarts.

Sadly, if Nintendo would just realize that this is only hurting them and not us, we'd all be much happier. Homebrew was like the only thing that kept my Wii alive for the longest time, being able to play anything from GBA roms to SNES games with translation patches and more!

That extra large card for my DSTwo means I can effectively put all the DS games I own onto a single cartridge and never have to worry about misplacing them ever again. It's like.. incredibly amazing. I still enjoy having my physical copies, but no longer having to carry them all around is wonderful.

And in no way am I giving that ability up. If the DSTwo couldn't handle 5.1, I was actually heavily considering just returning the 3DS game. I'll take convenience over inconvenience any day.
