Man, I keep fucking forgetting how people are so ignorant about computers and then something like a broken Windows update occurs and plurks get made and people everywhere are shaking and crying about it.
Yes, you moronic fuck, if Microsoft says uninstall it and has pulled the ability to install it, then you should uninstall it even if you haven't had problems yet. Because the key word there is yet.
No, you do not fucking have to restart right away if you uninstall it. It will not go, "LOL J/K I reinstalled because you weren't serious enough about getting rid of me." That is not how uninstall works jfc.
And holy shit no. No. Microsoft is never going to make it so they can just uninstall updates from their end the same way they can automatically install them for you if you don't turn off auto-update. How fucking stupid do you have to be to think that is ever a good idea?! Yes, let's make it easy for someone to remotely uninstall security updates! That sounds like an excellent decision that won't be totally exploited at all by some hacker who wants to turn your computer into part of his global porn server cloud. Honestly, I don't even like automatic updates, but let's face it, there are plenty of people without the basic ability to install shit and, as computer viruses can prove, it is pretty easy to put programs on a computer without much work on the user end.
and yes this is tangentially rp related because we all use computers for this shit and chances are some of the whiny babies in that big psa plurk are rpers.
