Do you trust all the updates your devices ask you for?
I could have put this under technology, but trust seems more like a larger life issue. I don't know, I disabled auto update on my phone. Like to look them over first.

My circumstances are more complex. I cannot get into the App Store because I can't remember my password and they've won't give it to me.
I am using my daughter's MacBookPro. And most updates require downloads and my daughter does not remember her admin password so essentially njI am technologically crippled, an outcast, a cyber leper.
And this laptop and operating system are so old that on the rare occasion I get as far as clicking 'upgrade' the display breaks out in helpless giggles.

@Mamapolo2016 Wow that sucks. Can't you talk to a rep and do some kind of reset? Maybe change accounts.

@Tinkerhell Same, or similar. I don't have a ton of memory on my phone, so with all the updates installing, it started to get sluggish. Most things don't need to be updated I have found. They run fine from factory specs.

@DanielChristensen I don't blame you although I have a couple of paid-for apps that I rely on for use on my iPhone so ultimately I have to keep the phone updated for them to work, but every time a new update is released I always read up on it and hope that there won't be a serious issue like battery drain etc.

@bijouxbroussard You discuss the updates with a tech before installing?

@DanielChristensen If anything looks wonky I do. There was something called Mac Defender, an app which appeared out of nowhere and claimed to protect Mac products. I didn’t touch it, but called my own AppleCare rep and asked about it—it was malware, and AppleCare showed me how to get rid of it. I posted a question about it here to let other Mac users know if they happened upon it.

@bijouxbroussard I've run across those sorts of insidious things several times. Sucks when you have to go to the repair shop.
