At this point, any time there is “next big update” of anything, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.
Kernel might be an exception (I mean, I did work in cybersecurity, so I understand the importance of updates pretty well), but still. I don’t think there has been an update of anything I’ve been using that wasn’t just an enshitification bullshit in the last few years…
My MacBook is 10 versions behind because the latest updates are all cosmetic or adding weird AI shit I don’t want.
I watched my wife’s windows 11 which she only uses to play The Sims go to shit with AI garbage and constant ads to upgrade her Microsoft Office, which she never uses.
My TV updated and now there’s fucking banner ads.
I’m reaching a point where I don’t trust updates anymore.

I had issues with ads popping up on my Samsung TVs. Started using a pihole and it went away.
