I think the kind of people who design Google Plus forget that people exist who don't update their browsers. Because, why wouldn't you?

Because at least half the time, updating software causes as many problems as it solves.

I can only think of one time that I have updated software and it has caused problems. Maybe I am just lucky.

Well, maybe I've been using software since before you were born and have a much larger data set to draw on.

well, maybe software updates have improved a lot in the last 23 years. Do you avoid hairdressers ever since that one time they accidentally gave you Flock of Seagulls hair?

You might think so, but I have seen no trend in that direction.

What Ash is saying is all CHING etc to me. But if it means something like "they keep making shit more complicated without making it work better," yeah.

I fuck*ng hate having to update shit. fuck*ng HATE IT. Every time I open iTunes, for instance, it says "hey, new shit for your phone, your mp3 player, and your computer" and I don't update, because every time I do, I need to rebuild so many different things. How come I should have to go fix everything? If it's new and improved and updated, shouldn't it be easier and easier to do every time? I will reiterate that - with every new update, shouldn't updating be easier? And yet, with every new update, it becomes harder to fix things, and some things become unfixable (to say nothing of functionality they decide to remove, and added functionality I do not use making it harder to find the things I actually do want).

Nope, fuck that.

I don't know anything about the difference between back in the day and now, because my old-timey computer experience was that there weren't updates. I just bought what i wanted and used that, until I didn't want to use it anymore.

Exactly. And if that makes you an asshole then I am proud to be an asshole too.

Yes, yes.

I cannot tell you the number of times I have opened a program to do a specific, tiny thing, been forced to update, and then something went wrong with the update and I was unable to use the software without kludging around trying to fix the problem that I wasn't having before the forced "upgrade."

I should not have to search forums.techguy.org to find a third-party fix for a software update that involves pulling up a command line or deleting an errant .dll file.

It should not take me 40 minutes of fuck*ng around in the registry before I can play my favorite video game. And yes, game developers are THE WORST with this. I've seen it happen with other software, but PC games are notorious. I buy the XBox version of almost everything when given the choice between platforms, for this and other reasons, because at least when the XBox updates a game, it actually fuck*ng works.

1. I said "maybe" it had gotten better.
2. I can remember one time, ever, that I had the sort of problems you guys are describing. How did you even update computer software before high-speed internet?
