Unless you like getting hacked, updates are a necessary evil for having connections to the Internet.

I'd argue it's more a constant state of repair than updates. "Updates" suggests that it's a preemptive measure to prevent something from going wrong or otherwise preemptively change things, but most changes the body makes to itself are in response to something that's already happened and needs correction. The only real "updates" we have are puberty and our growth into adulthood, both of which are suites of changes that happen to prepare us for a future need (respectively, babymaking and aspects of life that require adult size/strength).

If somebody could hack my anus to do their bidding, Id sure update.

Sure, but I still wouldn't necessarily characterize it as "updates" when it's exclusively reactive. I'm not "updating" my leg by tying a splint to it after breaking it.

Vaccines would definitely qualify as an "update," but it's one that's applied externally instead of being something the body does itself. Regular immune system function is, again, strictly reactive, in that it only addresses things that a given individual has already experienced.

yes but you are though, you've now not only updated your broken leg with a stability update, you've also updated your exterior aesthetics to include a splint

I'm with you, especially when almost every update is worse than the one before.

I updated my iCue firmware for the controller, and now 2 of my fans won't actually do the color changes I want. Wooo.
