What ever happened to the massive updates predicted my Microsoft for Tuesday? (vanity).

I have all the systems here configured to automatically check for updates. Essential security updates are automatically installed by default, and other packages set off a small notification and then I decide whether or not to install them.

Usually, I simply ignore them as they are for petty things like updated (unused) video drivers, firmware upgrades, or Samba files, none of which are critical and can wait until more than a couple of dozen are waiting or until I decide to go with the next version of the OS or a different distro. Each option (next release / other OS) chosen is already preconfigured to work stably with the latest releases, so no worries.

I always apply updates manually to servers for customers with managed services, so I did all the servers tonight. Large, but not really massive and differed by OS.

Be sure to apply the Adobe updates. They had a security issue which they fixed and which then caused another issue requiring an update.

Java has an urgent update also.

And to think in 1995 some nuclear engineer told me I’d be out of a job in a few year - he thought the OS would handle everything without user interaction.

Sorry for the double posts — tablet issues.

Sounds like the Windows workstation dependency I have... just for different apps / reasons. Cheers
