Don't tell people to turn off Windows Update
I love the way he's compared the people who tell you to turn off auto-updates with anti-vaxxers; it's quite an apt analogy.<p>Microsoft shares part of the blame here for pushing features that the user clearly <i>doesn't</i> want through updates (especially to the major OS version).  Look at the recent ads in Windows file explorer for one example.  A lot of the advice to turn Windows Update off is a misguided response to Microsoft's own bone-headed moves in recent years to install bullshit that the user doesn't want.<p>I still sort of regret installing Windows 10 to this day because of the obnoxious Cortana bar it foisted upon my start menu that I can't get rid of.  And yet not installing Windows 10 would've left me less secure with an OS hitting EOL for security updates much sooner.<p>Microsoft definitely shares some of the blame for this precisely because they have automatically "opted in" their users to stuff they don't want during past updates.  Stop the bullshit, Microsoft.
