Yea F them my ps4's discbay is broken. No problem for years but FOR SOME WEIRD REASON the first update after ps5 launch fails because of the bay being broken.
That ISS part scared me. I had a remote rendering PC in my basement for a while and botched an install of a network driver update, causing me to lose communication with it since of course, the network was the only way I could do so. It was a bit of a PITA, but the fix just involved bringing it upstairs and plugging it into a monitor. I couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if a screwed up update literally marooned people in space since you can't just "go upstairs," and grab them if communication gets cut
I remember that one nVidia driver (320 or something) that was making some older GPUs idle at +90C. After that I started to wait and read various forums because GPUs were burned up, and since they were old (2-3 years), they had no warranty anymore.
An early version of ASUS Smart Doctor decided the fans on one of my 3870's didn't need to spin. No reports of over heating on the second gpu either. I just thought an update tanked performance. Turns out one of my cards was getting some passive cooking.
@@justinpatterson5291 talking of Asus, an old bios update for my then crosshair vii hero had a bug that hadn't been identified. It would randomly stop Cpu fans and pumps, I first realised when playing a game and it slowed down to a few fps. Enabled rtss overlay and noticed my Cpu was at 99°C Thanks Asus!
@@CaramelisedNipples crosshair hero vi ex owner here, that board is now in a landfill after receiving 10 blows from a sledgehammer.

I worked for a German software company, I was the Australian technician, western Australia decided they would give day light savings a go so Microsoft had to create an update to allow that for WA users. Any way first thing in the morning I started getting calls of issues. The sudden date change corrupted all the software clients and became a disaster. Had to run around trying to stop any auto updates and recover everything else. The German company had no way of knowing and so they had to make an emergency patch. Good times :)
@@boltinabottle6307 certificate for what? The date and time in the software was configured based on non daylight savings so when it kicked in the client os conflicted with the software date/time
My favorite update was the Windows 10 October 2018 update, where there was a bug that blue screened computers HP workstations. The bug was some conflict with one single file for keyboard shortcuts. The only way to remove that file was to load a recovery environment and delete that one file through it.
@@SamJoex Yes but it seems that data is really unimportant these days since there are people who openly vote against Windows 11 just because of some minor taskbar problem, instead of switching to it immediately.
@@TechnologyEverythingJohn Switching to Windows 11 doesn't guarantee better data security - at least not yet. (Windows 10 is still getting security updates.) In fact, data privacy is worse since folks are now forced to get a Microsoft account in order to install Windows 11.
@@SamJoex Why does a Microsoft account worsen data privacy? There is a workaround for the Microsoft account anyway, and Windows 10 forces the account as well. While switching to Windows 11 won't guarantee better data security, Windows 10 was just very buggy compared to other versions of Windows. Even though Windows 11 might seem worse, Windows 10's updates have consistently had problems. It is not worth sitting on Windows 10, in fact, I forced Windows 11 on my unsupported PCs just in the name of reliability. And suddenly, I am not frustrated with my computers anymore!
people in 2003: Sony installed a rootkit in my OS kernel under the excuse of stopping piracy, let's call the lawyers!!! people in 2022: Valorant installs rootkit on my OS kernel under the excuse of anticheat, it's fine I guess.
well, the tech companies learned a lesson: "Never say it is good for you, alway say it is for customers "protection", because you cant effectively protect something out of your control"
Well, that's why Linux communities have the 1 year rule, where bleeding edge software gets updated daily, but if you go for stable one then you get updates 1 year late, unless you explicitly ask for them. This way you know everything is perfectly stable.
Yeap and that's just ONE of the many reasons I keep reminding people complaining about how all of a sudden they think Microshit is data mining them and locking down their PCs. This $hit has BEEN slowly in the works since XP first launched. We have Bush jr and John Ashcroft to thank for this with the (UN) Patriot Act
Yeah, government agencies really, really, really hate updating precisely because of bad updates. If it does the job they will happily keep running MS DOS for the rest of time.
I spent hundreds on a Pionoeer headunit for my car to make it as easy (read: SAFE) as possible to use Spotify while driving and Spotify just switched off the support out of the blue and provided no explanation. It wasn't until I dug into their forums that I found out that they had "deprecated" the support in an update and didn't explain it at all. Maybe I should send them a bill for the headunit as the Spotify integration was the only reason I bought it.

Welcome to the internet of things(IOT). Works today, useless brick tomorrow. Got a bin full of stuff that's no longer functional due to various changes, updates, and dropped support.
it's almost like these companies do absolutely no testing on firmware and software updates. they should really have a better testing protocol if they're going to force updates.
@@VJK102 "tested" with sealed papers and flawed testing. Also I'm not anti vaccination, I'm just against rushed and forced vaccination with few benefits and lots of risks. To each his own.
@@VJK102 Any medicine needs time to test, different people say different things but the most common values are: - 2 years to consider it working - 5 or 15 years to consider it safe to use (but not by significant portion of humanity at once) - 3 generation to consider it safe to use by entire humanity The reason for those times is to make sure you don't have any short or long term side effects, including those that can appear very late or even in next generation (genetical damage). None of covid vaccines were tested for second nor third stage, since its simply impossible, not enough time passed. There are known screwups done by doctors that were not aware of side effects of medicine until many years later. Two most famous were cancer from tobacco (used as throat medicine) and radiation sickness.
@@hubertnnn That's certainly not accurate. Polio, Measles, Tetanus, and Diphtheria vaccines were widely available well before "3 generations". If I want to give you the most benefit, polio vaccine was first researched in 1932 and mass vaccinations in the US started in 1955, a mere 22 years later. 22 years is, at best, 2 generations. Maybe you're trying to say that new common standards are what you propose, but that's likely pretty recent, and it probably isn't nearly as common as you propose. Acellular pertussis was released in Japan in 1981 and approved in the US 11 years later in 1991. Even if we assume the full 15 years of your proposed stage 2 testing for Japan, we would still only have 26 years of testing for the acellular pertussis for the US, which is still, at most, 2 generations. I get the concerns that these vaccines were pushed relatively quickly, but it's not quite that simple, and the assertion that it takes 3 generations (28 years if I'm being very generous, 40 years if I'm being more realistic) just isn't true. Also, the research on vaccines is much greater than it was for all of the previous vaccines, so even by extending safety margins, we should be experiencing less time to market because we don't need to do as much research to begin the work. Given the fact that these vaccines are based on tech established in 2013, it shouldn't take very long to develop them, and a lot of the testing has already been done. At worst, we cut the timeline by 4 years, but realistically we already had the 2 years worth of experience with the vaccines when we started, and it took almost a year to make them publicly available, so I'd say we only cut it short by a couple years. More importantly, why did a comment about testing software have to become a COVID vaccine debate?
I remember two cases of botched updates. The first was an anti virus program (I believe it was Mcafee) update that made the software quarantine some of windows' boot files, preventing the computer from booting up. Another one I experienced myself. My parents had a Samsung blu-ray player and a botched XML file in a software, the player was sent into a boot loop which could not be fixed with a new update.
Not to mention Windows Update installs the older version of the driver that I currently have. It's so frustrating that I have to go to Device Manager and Roll back to "Latest Version" of the driver. How pathetic it is!
I had Windows 11 installed on my laptop and it was doing an update - it crashed mid-update and ended up deleting files which were essential for booting itself up. The SSD got wiped because of it and I had to re-install Windows 10.
Nintendo had an update for the wii that would affect korean systems that were region changed with non korean versions of menu versions 4.2 or later, but could brick the system outright, thowing the error 003 message.The problem was that not only your system was likely out of commission, it even affected unmodded systems , therefore screwing over innocent users who just wanted to update.
As a huge Switchfoot fan, I remember the Sony rootkit fiasco well. Nothing is Sound is still my favorite album of all time, always glad to see it mentioned in videos like this even though it was such a terrible thing to happen. They weren't the only band effected but I believe they were the first and most vocal about it, working with Sony to get it resolved/reversed.
in software engineering we learned some ethics cases where bad software was actually responsible for killing people. Specifically in the case of an xray machine where if operators performed actions too quickly the changes wouldn't take effect and it resulted in people getting blasted with lethal doses of radiation
This video comes perfectly as in germany at the moment at least a third of all credit card terminals don’t work anymore. There was an update and since then cash had a rise. This situation exists for a week already
That first one reminds me of when Windows killed ActiveSync without warning. Not when they stopped officially updating and supporting it but when they actually killed the workaround for companies that still used it. Overnight a majority of the surveying equipment in the US stopped working. It was a huge problem for my work because of all of our equipment suddenly could no longer connect to a computer and online forums were filled with surveyors asking how the heck they were supposed to use their equipment now. Microsoft responses to tell us to ask the equipment manufacturers to create new versions based on a newer Windows mobile (and pay all those sweet sweet license fees). The vast majority of the industry switched to Android instead
I remember the infamous update from Mac OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard that completely deleted you user data. That's why you never update on day 1 if you have the choice
Catalina and all newer versions were extremely buggy on first day. Had no problems when updating earlier versions. I‘m using a hackintosh and I‘m cloning my boot drive before every update. When something goes wrong, I can simply swap the drives.
The more I look into this the more I am realising that maybe it is beneficial to use Linux as my operating system. I am getting more and more frustrated with Windows as it is not assisting me with a botched software update that froze at 33% and it rendered my computer as a brick.
I switched for manjaro many months ago. I’ve distro hopped within linux a few times, but never gone back. I’ve also never had a crash or a power outage do literally anything to my OS. I love it
"improved systems stability" i still believe that a software update no matter how small or what software it is, NEEDS to clarify exactly what they have changed, retracable, and if its just a blatant lie or anything else is hidden, then companies should pay a hefty fine for lying to its customers .. cause those "Stability" updates most often are just updates to make the user think they did something, or to hide that they just slow down systems
Forgot to mention the Windows 10 update that deleted entire folders on people's computer. Usually the documents folder. For me it was my entire network backup.
The even more ridiculous part of the Sony Rootkit fiasco is that their initial response was the now infamous quote: "Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?". I can't imagine a stupider response to that fiasco than to start off by saying that people should not worry about it because they don't know what it is anyway.
The most trash updates were iOS 7-9. These slowed down my iPod to the point where even the keyboard lagged like sh¡t. Reverting the update is not possible and the device was unusable. Apple software and hardware is trash.

Early because a lot of companies use old equipment my setup ends up being fairly unusual and almost every time I get a Windows update something breaks. I'm not exactly sure how they managed this last one but they managed to break the mouse. For some reason it'll just double-click randomly when nothing's actually being done or when I single click and occasionally it just won't register clicks I'm trying to move the mouse makes it all over the screen like mad. Started happening after the last Windows update I had. Here's hoping the next one fixes it
What about that Windows update from 2 years ago that deleted users documents folder. That hurt a lot more than some tax software not working in a single country.
My favorite bug was an XP sp2 update that broke any centrino laptop with Intel wireless. Turning on wifi would bsod loop. Not fun. Amusingly enough, the laptop that this happened on for me was a Sony Vaio A series laptop.
I remember being on the phones when Yahoo Toolbar was updated, if you had it installed when that update hit... Internet Explorer would close immediately once it got to that part of the startup process. Went from one of the slowest nights we ever had to one of the busiest in less than half an hour. We got special authorization to guide customers through uninstalling the toolbar.
Th most funny failed update to me is AEG who released an update for their ovens. After the update, the oven thought it was a steam oven and didn’t work anymore. It only happened recently in March this year.
Update your oven, your microwave, your wife and your unborn first child. DO NOT power off your unborn first child while the update is running. May cause severe issues like dyslexia, memory loss, narcolepsy, antivaxxism, and bob.
@@jagarcogheart Its hilarious how gullible Rossmann is, he doesnt even bother to look stuff up, just rants. He completely killed his channel - now its just proud boys and incels. FYI it was a COMBINATION oven, a normal fan forced in wall oven boosted by microwave and grill. Theyre fairly complicated to program (even for me who has been using one for 25+ years), and that particular oven has an app that allows you to use pre-programmed memories with decent descriptions and recipes, and to start the oven preheat remotely among other things. While you dont seem to have them in the US they're common in civilised countries. While it wouldn't be my choice to have it phoning home all the time, there are certainly a lot of valid reasons for it to have remote control, and if you put 2 minutes research in (which Rossmann never does before a rant) you would know it wasnt a microwave.

That Sony/ PlayStation support during the PS3 era was so bad. I remember that my PS3 would YLOD constantly and every time it was a 100+ dollars to send it and get fixed only for it to break again. The crazy thing was that it would break right before the warranty expired but they wouldn't honor the warranty on the day you called. The warranty was honored once the system arrived so if it expired while shipping you had to pay. I loved my PS3 but was def ready to switch to an XBox except our mom wouldn't let us because my older brother already have a 360 and in her eyes we already had one even though he wouldn't let us play on it. Plus, PS Online was free at the time so tht was a plus. Not sure if their support has improved since then, I haven't had to call since I replaced my fat PS3 with a slim, all my issues went away after that.
What makes YLOD worse is that sometimes the repair involves replacing a part that happens to cause the drive keys to change if replaced which means the hard drive can't be decrypted which means all saved games and purchases no longer on the store are just gone. That happened to me. The irony is that modders and pirates can decrypt their drives if they extract these keys before the YLOD. In other words only paying customers were screwed over by a feature likely designed to avoid piracy. The fact that also me and Microsoft consoles created since then likewise have encrypted drives does not make me feel any better.

As a computer store owner and IT guy from the late 80's. I always tell customers to wait 1 month for updates, for these reasons alone. 95 sucked because at that time DR DOS was better and cheaper and MS used 95 ( combine OS and GUI into one package ) to kill off DR DOS and make all future GUI combined with DOS. 95 SP1 finally fixed the problems of the original release. Many of my customers stayed on 3.11 and Dos until 95 got stable.
@@HollowVortex81 well with 10 you can't just pick it, you get whatever else MS is pushing out at the same time. Unless you are a business or doing risky things, even the 0 day fixes won't affect 90% of the people. If you know what circumstance it can be exploited, just don't do that and you are fine.
You also forget windows 10 1809 (RS5) when it first came out it deleted user files when they had linked folders (moved downloads folder etc to another drive) and when there was still files in the C:/ directory it would delete them which is insane.
There was an update for Windows 10 in the past. It didn't brick their systems really, it just made it hard to access your files (and by hard I mean impossible since they wiped out all files for those whose home folder was changed from the original)
The last Tizen update for my Gear S3 Frontier causes a battery drain issue. Trying to downgrade didn't work, hard resetting didn't work and it just wasn't worth trying to replace the battery. Same thing happened with the Surface Pro 4; battery drain issues. If the battery level got too low it would abruptly shut off if not plugged into power. Even when completely powered off, the battery would drain fast. No fix was ever pushed out.
this is more common, there are plenty of IoT devices that get bricked daily from stupid updates, example a microwave that got the wrong firmware update bricking it as the microwave thought it was a steamer.
I preferred the AEG update for microwaves that turned them into steam ovens. But you couldn't do anything and to roll back the update techs had to come to your kitchen
recently installed a bugged motherboard bios that prevented posting about half the time. after a google search it was pretty clear i wasnt the only one, and more people were having the same issue with that new bios. had to go back to the previous version for it to be stable again.
I remember some Windows 10 update messing up with the Xbox 360 wireless receiver I use to play games with the Speed Wheel, causing the screen to go black and the mouse to not respond to clicks for a few seconds *every single time* I touched a program window in any way with the controller connected. It'd happen even for using the keyboard or the mouse on a program that wasn't a game. Older games would interrupt indefinitely unless I *really* insisted in playing them or took the controller off. Now that I had to restore the PC back to default, updates included, due to a sudden black screen, freezing and corruption of the system while I was playing _Gran Turismo 2,_ I feel the *PAIN* I had to go through yesterday to restore as much of my software as possible was for the good.

The problem with suing Sony over the rootkit debacle is that big companies just see fines and lawsuit settlements as a cost of doing business, rather than a punishment. So they just do the same horrible things again in the future. Start locking up executives over these things and you might see some change.
Once a Google update made my S4 mini completely unusable and I didnt know it was the issue. 2 factory resets, a lot of lost data and a few days later a patch fixed my phone again. Not fun...
There was that Windows update just a few years ago that erased data. However, it was stopped before it became an automatic update so only those who manually installed it were affected.
Can also add MS and it's deleting your personal files without permission to the list. That happened a few times in less than a year, if I remember correctly.
I used to work for a fortune 500 software company and they had totally laid off their entire QA team for a major product. As a member of their support department, I got to learn a lot about finding bugs as we waded through a year of awful patches. It was ridiculous.

This is the kind of thing Vista and later versions of Windows were better with. It's better at looking after important system files these days. XP was a train wreck in terms of security and permissions and looking back at it I don't really get why it was loved so much. I guess it just lived long enough to be considered perfect or something. The original release of Vista was pushed back and they restarted from another code base when they had to rush to make SP2 for XP, because it was such a huge malware sponge. Vista was originally based on the code for XP, then they changed over to Windows Server 2003 when they realised how bad that idea was.
More times than not it's a driver update that trashes your Windows install. I miss the days of being able to select what to update. I'm surprised you didn't mention the recent update this year and last year that each did the same thing. Blew up network printing.
I remember that Apple pulled out a defective iOS 8.0.1 because the update basically disabled the Cellular and Touch ID feature on the just-released iPhone 6 & 6 Plus.
If there's one update that comes to my mind in terms of "Breaking" something, it definitely has to be a Windows 10 update that was introduced in 2021 (I think). The update in question changes the way graphics drivers interact with each other, and not in a good way. Before the update, they would cooperate with each other and allow the user to just do more, since the update however, graphics drivers don't play nice with other graphics drivers and will actively interfere with one another. This ultimately came with the absurdly stupid side effect of OpenGL based applications to just stop working all together with multiple graphics drivers running, with the only known (and working) solution being to disable one of the graphics drivers. This is most notable for be because I have a GPU that doesn't seem to natively support OpenGL
An update of Windows 8.1 once disabled my front panel audio jacks (mic and headphone) without any reason. I lived in the woods and was using Skype as a phone service for multiple people in the household.
0:12 e6530 Windows 7 infamous recovery loop. I have no choice but to install Windows 10 on hardware that doesn't even fully utilize Windows 7, but more like Vista. I wasted my time with this flippin machine. I hope the M6700 doesn't do the same with Windows 7 cause my Tecra A11 has never had any problems besides recently requiring me to go to device manager, disable the Realtek audio, and then re-enabling it every time I boot the OS, all because of some 2021 Realtek driver as opposed to the 2006 one that never let me down.

I had one case, where I couldn't play any SecuROM protected games after updating Avast! Antivirus to version 7.0.1426, since the system bluescreened as soon as SecuROM tried to authenticate the disc that was in the optical drive as I was attempting to launch the game. It turned out that there was a bug in behavior shield, as turning it off allowed me to launch SecuROM protected games without any issue. The bug was fixed in one of the later updates.
Ohh windows updates... Back in 2008 linux updates are always risky and sometimes it freaked up my system, windows was the stable goto. Nowadays it's the exact opposite. In the last half year my windows setup has more bugs/glitches after updates than in the last 10 years, enough to push me out from the windows train. Thanks MS.
There's no big tech company without a few 'brick your device' updates under their belt. Apple's various OSes, Windows, Linux, Android, you name it - they've all had some really shitty patches pushed out.

There is an old saying - Dont fix what is not broken. When I only started to learn PCs someone said to me that you never update BIOS if everything is working, it was different times, BIOS updates were a bit different, somewhat more riskier. So basically I was a bit wary when it came to updates in general. Since that time I never install fresh non-forced updates as soon as they come out, I wait for a few weeks/ a month, just in case, no harm id doing it. Especially when it comes to core updates like OS on PC or firmware on a device, or for important soft which I use daily.
For a while, I've only ever needed my desktop for doing work. But now I'm gonna need a laptop soon. I decided that I could probably use my old laptop from 2017 (low spec i5, uhd graphics) and when I tested it out, it was working great. But then I when I was having issues with the Microsoft store so I figured updating windows would help. Now the machine runs at 20fps, can barely open any program, and the hard drive usually hovers around 99-100% usage.

Windows Update in Windows 10 broke audio over HDMI on my graphics card once. The HDMI audio device was listed and would even show activity no the meter when a sound "should" have been played, but nothing actually came out of my speakers. I had to switch back to on-board audio until I eventually got tired of fighting with Windows and switched even my gaming PC to Linux.
For me the worst update is the LG's soundbar upfate that they released some time ago. The update broke my sn5y subwoofer's pcb, but it got repaired for free. Still really anoying.
@Torvaltz It's more like the graphics card report its temperature to the system, which it uses the determine the fan speed. I have no idea if this is what happened, but if a driver causes the card to constantly report something like 0°C the system may decided that the fans aren't needed, and turn them off, or at least to slow them down. I have tried to look up which update it was, but I can't find much about it. :/
An update to .NET in August 2012 disabled TreeView menus in MS Access forms, bricking a couple of databases I had made, and the "patch" to fix it in September 2012 didn't fix the issue. I later learned I had to hack the Windows registry to reregister the TreeView menu control so MS Access forms using a TreeView wouldn't crash the database. A different update to Visual Studio 2019 in December 2019 blocked the T-SQL UPDATE function, making it impossible to run a program that saves data into a local database. The system would run without any obvious errors, but skip the update step, so no new data or changes to old data would ever be written in the database. The problem wasn't fixed until after the first quarter of 2020. The flaw basically halted a project I had been working on for months, and the flaw wasn't fixed until after it was no longer worthwhile.
We use a bunch of somewhat niche plugins for Access and Excel at work that rely on even more niche features within said apps for quite important tasks like running figures and reports combined from all the disparate systems and formats we have to deal with throughout the business, and the number of times the plugins get bricked and need to be reinstalled after Office or Windows updates is insane. There's at least one time a week where someone has to manually go in and poke something or rip it out and put it back again to make it work. The funny thing is the plugins themselves don't even get updated all that often, so running the exact same plugin that broke with the Office update will work just fine once you reinstall it! There are so many little things like this when dealing with a large Microsoft dependent network. I'm amazed it works at all sometimes. The irony is that IT people hate Windows at home, but love it at work as it gives them job security when they have to constantly fix it haha!
I had a recent issue with Pop OS when updating to 22.04. Even a fresh install didn't solve some of the problems involving Steam and my second drive. Switched to Mint.

It was a bit of a PITA, but the fix just involved bringing it upstairs and plugging it into a monitor. I couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if a screwed up update literally marooned people in space since you can't just "go upstairs," and grab them if communication gets cut
I remember that one nVidia driver (320 or something) that was making some older GPUs idle at +90C. After that I started to wait and read various forums because GPUs were burned up, and since they were old (2-3 years), they had no warranty anymore.
An early version of ASUS Smart Doctor decided the fans on one of my 3870's didn't need to spin. No reports of over heating on the second gpu either. I just thought an update tanked performance. Turns out one of my cards was getting some passive cooking.

I worked for a German software company, I was the Australian technician, western Australia decided they would give day light savings a go so Microsoft had to create an update to allow that for WA users.
Any way first thing in the morning I started getting calls of issues.
The sudden date change corrupted all the software clients and became a disaster.
Had to run around trying to stop any auto updates and recover everything else.
The German company had no way of knowing and so they had to make an emergency patch.
Good times :)
Sounds like a certificate issue.

My favorite update was the Windows 10 October 2018 update, where there was a bug that blue screened computers HP workstations. The bug was some conflict with one single file for keyboard shortcuts. The only way to remove that file was to load a recovery environment and delete that one file through it.
it also straight-up deleted user data in many cases
@@SamJoex Yes but it seems that data is really unimportant these days since there are people who openly vote against Windows 11 just because of some minor taskbar problem, instead of switching to it immediately.

Switching to Windows 11 doesn't guarantee better data security - at least not yet. (Windows 10 is still getting security updates.) In fact, data privacy is worse since folks are now forced to get a Microsoft account in order to install Windows 11.
@@SamJoex Why does a Microsoft account worsen data privacy? There is a workaround for the Microsoft account anyway, and Windows 10 forces the account as well. While switching to Windows 11 won't guarantee better data security, Windows 10 was just very buggy compared to other versions of Windows. Even though Windows 11 might seem worse, Windows 10's updates have consistently had problems. It is not worth sitting on Windows 10, in fact, I forced Windows 11 on my unsupported PCs just in the name of reliability. And suddenly, I am not frustrated with my computers anymore!
people in 2003: Sony installed a rootkit in my OS kernel under the excuse of stopping piracy, let's call the lawyers!!!

well, the tech companies learned a lesson: "Never say it is good for you, alway say it is for customers "protection", because you cant effectively protect something out of your control"
The difference is that Sony did it automatically, silently, without any user prompt, and with CDs that weren't even supposed to contain software.

Well, that's why Linux communities have the 1 year rule, where bleeding edge software gets updated daily, but if you go for stable one then you get updates 1 year late, unless you explicitly ask for them. This way you know everything is perfectly stable.
When it comes to Windows, this is entirely understandable, ESPECIALLY for major updates.
The fact the ISS was on Win XP is both hilarious and terrifying at the same time...
Yeap and that's just ONE of the many reasons I keep reminding people complaining about how all of a sudden they think Microshit is data mining them and locking down their PCs.

I spent hundreds on a Pionoeer headunit for my car to make it as easy (read: SAFE) as possible to use Spotify while driving and Spotify just switched off the support out of the blue and provided no explanation. It wasn't until I dug into their forums that I found out that they had "deprecated" the support in an update and didn't explain it at all.

Like covid19 vaccines? LOL
@@atodaso1668 nothing like it
Those WHERE tested, despite whatever antivaxx bubble tells you
@@VJK102 "tested" with sealed papers and flawed testing. Also I'm not anti vaccination, I'm just against rushed and forced vaccination with few benefits and lots of risks. To each his own.
@@VJK102 Any medicine needs time to test, different people say different things but the most common values are:
- 2 years to consider it working
- 5 or 15 years to consider it safe to use (but not by significant portion of humanity at once)
- 3 generation to consider it safe to use by entire humanity
The reason for those times is to make sure you don't have any short or long term side effects, including those that can appear very late or even in next generation (genetical damage).
None of covid vaccines were tested for second nor third stage, since its simply impossible, not enough time passed.
There are known screwups done by doctors that were not aware of side effects of medicine until many years later. Two most famous were cancer from tobacco (used as throat medicine) and radiation sickness.
@@hubertnnn That's certainly not accurate. Polio, Measles, Tetanus, and Diphtheria vaccines were widely available well before "3 generations". If I want to give you the most benefit, polio vaccine was first researched in 1932 and mass vaccinations in the US started in 1955, a mere 22 years later. 22 years is, at best, 2 generations. Maybe you're trying to say that new common standards are what you propose, but that's likely pretty recent, and it probably isn't nearly as common as you propose. Acellular pertussis was released in Japan in 1981 and approved in the US 11 years later in 1991. Even if we assume the full 15 years of your proposed stage 2 testing for Japan, we would still only have 26 years of testing for the acellular pertussis for the US, which is still, at most, 2 generations.
I get the concerns that these vaccines were pushed relatively quickly, but it's not quite that simple, and the assertion that it takes 3 generations (28 years if I'm being very generous, 40 years if I'm being more realistic) just isn't true. Also, the research on vaccines is much greater than it was for all of the previous vaccines, so even by extending safety margins, we should be experiencing less time to market because we don't need to do as much research to begin the work. Given the fact that these vaccines are based on tech established in 2013, it shouldn't take very long to develop them, and a lot of the testing has already been done. At worst, we cut the timeline by 4 years, but realistically we already had the 2 years worth of experience with the vaccines when we started, and it took almost a year to make them publicly available, so I'd say we only cut it short by a couple years.
More importantly, why did a comment about testing software have to become a COVID vaccine debate?
I remember two cases of botched updates. The first was an anti virus program (I believe it was Mcafee) update that made the software quarantine some of windows' boot files, preventing the computer from booting up. Another one I experienced myself. My parents had a Samsung blu-ray player and a botched XML file in a software, the player was sent into a boot loop which could not be fixed with a new update.
Not to mention Windows Update installs the older version of the driver that I currently have. It's so frustrating that I have to go to Device Manager and Roll back to "Latest Version" of the driver. How pathetic it is!
I had Windows 11 installed on my laptop and it was doing an update - it crashed mid-update and ended up deleting files which were essential for booting itself up. The SSD got wiped because of it and I had to re-install Windows 10.

Windows just crashed on me like 4 minutes ago and I lost an unsaved untitled word document
Same happened to me a few weeks ago on a Windows 11 update

That first one reminds me of when Windows killed ActiveSync without warning. Not when they stopped officially updating and supporting it but when they actually killed the workaround for companies that still used it. Overnight a majority of the surveying equipment in the US stopped working.

Catalina and all newer versions were extremely buggy on first day. Had no problems when updating earlier versions. I‘m using a hackintosh and I‘m cloning my boot drive before every update. When something goes wrong, I can simply swap the drives.
Windows did a security update a while ago that made my computer so incredibly secure that even I couldn't access it

"improved systems stability" i still believe that a software update no matter how small or what software it is, NEEDS to clarify exactly what they have changed, retracable, and if its just a blatant lie or anything else is hidden, then companies should pay a hefty fine for lying to its customers .. cause those "Stability" updates most often are just updates to make the user think they did something, or to hide that they just slow down systems
Forgot to mention the Windows 10 update that deleted entire folders on people's computer. Usually the documents folder. For me it was my entire network backup.
The even more ridiculous part of the Sony Rootkit fiasco is that their initial response was the now infamous quote: "Most people don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?". I can't imagine a stupider response to that fiasco than to start off by saying that people should not worry about it because they don't know what it is anyway.

FYI it was a COMBINATION oven, a normal fan forced in wall oven boosted by microwave and grill. Theyre fairly complicated to program (even for me who has been using one for 25+ years), and that particular oven has an app that allows you to use pre-programmed memories with decent descriptions and recipes, and to start the oven preheat remotely among other things. While you dont seem to have them in the US they're common in civilised countries.
While it wouldn't be my choice to have it phoning home all the time, there are certainly a lot of valid reasons for it to have remote control, and if you put 2 minutes research in (which Rossmann never does before a rant) you would know it wasnt a microwave.

That Sony/ PlayStation support during the PS3 era was so bad. I remember that my PS3 would YLOD constantly and every time it was a 100+ dollars to send it and get fixed only for it to break again. The crazy thing was that it would break right before the warranty expired but they wouldn't honor the warranty on the day you called. The warranty was honored once the system arrived so if it expired while shipping you had to pay.
I loved my PS3 but was def ready to switch to an XBox except our mom wouldn't let us because my older brother already have a 360 and in her eyes we already had one even though he wouldn't let us play on it. Plus, PS Online was free at the time so tht was a plus.
Not sure if their support has improved since then, I haven't had to call since I replaced my fat PS3 with a slim, all my issues went away after that.
I actually think it has become worse.
What makes YLOD worse is that sometimes the repair involves replacing a part that happens to cause the drive keys to change if replaced which means the hard drive can't be decrypted which means all saved games and purchases no longer on the store are just gone. That happened to me.
The irony is that modders and pirates can decrypt their drives if they extract these keys before the YLOD. In other words only paying customers were screwed over by a feature likely designed to avoid piracy.
The fact that also me and Microsoft consoles created since then likewise have encrypted drives does not make me feel any better.
@@Elliandr YLOD is mostly caused by a dead GPU (most common cause) or dead NEC tokins, both i dont think are married to the board, not sure though.

As a computer store owner and IT guy from the late 80's. I always tell customers to wait 1 month for updates, for these reasons alone. 95 sucked because at that time DR DOS was better and cheaper and MS used 95 ( combine OS and GUI into one package ) to kill off DR DOS and make all future GUI combined with DOS. 95 SP1 finally fixed the problems of the original release. Many of my customers stayed on 3.11 and Dos until 95 got stable.
@@HollowVortex81 well with 10 you can't just pick it, you get whatever else MS is pushing out at the same time.

You also forget windows 10 1809 (RS5) when it first came out it deleted user files when they had linked folders (moved downloads folder etc to another drive) and when there was still files in the C:/ directory it would delete them which is insane.
There was an update for Windows 10 in the past. It didn't brick their systems really, it just made it hard to access your files (and by hard I mean impossible since they wiped out all files for those whose home folder was changed from the original)
The last Tizen update for my Gear S3 Frontier causes a battery drain issue. Trying to downgrade didn't work, hard resetting didn't work and it just wasn't worth trying to replace the battery.
Same thing happened with the Surface Pro 4; battery drain issues. If the battery level got too low it would abruptly shut off if not plugged into power. Even when completely powered off, the battery would drain fast. No fix was ever pushed out.
this is more common, there are plenty of IoT devices that get bricked daily from stupid updates, example a microwave that got the wrong firmware update bricking it as the microwave thought it was a steamer.

It'd happen even for using the keyboard or the mouse on a program that wasn't a game. Older games would interrupt indefinitely unless I *really* insisted in playing them or took the controller off.
Now that I had to restore the PC back to default, updates included, due to a sudden black screen, freezing and corruption of the system while I was playing _Gran Turismo 2,_ I feel the *PAIN* I had to go through yesterday to restore as much of my software as possible was for the good.

This is the kind of thing Vista and later versions of Windows were better with. It's better at looking after important system files these days. XP was a train wreck in terms of security and permissions and looking back at it I don't really get why it was loved so much. I guess it just lived long enough to be considered perfect or something. The original release of Vista was pushed back and they restarted from another code base when they had to rush to make SP2 for XP, because it was such a huge malware sponge. Vista was originally based on the code for XP, then they changed over to Windows Server 2003 when they realised how bad that idea was.

If there's one update that comes to my mind in terms of "Breaking" something, it definitely has to be a Windows 10 update that was introduced in 2021 (I think). The update in question changes the way graphics drivers interact with each other, and not in a good way. Before the update, they would cooperate with each other and allow the user to just do more, since the update however, graphics drivers don't play nice with other graphics drivers and will actively interfere with one another. This ultimately came with the absurdly stupid side effect of OpenGL based applications to just stop working all together with multiple graphics drivers running, with the only known (and working) solution being to disable one of the graphics drivers.
This is most notable for be because I have a GPU that doesn't seem to natively support OpenGL

I remember when Panda Antivirus one day decided that critical Windows files in System32 and Windows folders were viruses. This caused lots of broken machines in our MSP. That was a funny day.
There is an old saying - Dont fix what is not broken. When I only started to learn PCs someone said to me that you never update BIOS if everything is working, it was different times, BIOS updates were a bit different, somewhat more riskier. So basically I was a bit wary when it came to updates in general. Since that time I never install fresh non-forced updates as soon as they come out, I wait for a few weeks/ a month, just in case, no harm id doing it. Especially when it comes to core updates like OS on PC or firmware on a device, or for important soft which I use daily.
For a while, I've only ever needed my desktop for doing work. But now I'm gonna need a laptop soon. I decided that I could probably use my old laptop from 2017 (low spec i5, uhd graphics) and when I tested it out, it was working great. But then I when I was having issues with the Microsoft store so I figured updating windows would help. Now the machine runs at 20fps, can barely open any program, and the hard drive usually hovers around 99-100% usage.
Soooo happy linux is taking over (slowly) for consumer machines
Indeed..slowly...but surely.
And with us experience users being forthcoming, encouraging, and illustrating the heart of a good caring teacher...we can help more migrate year after year.
A bit over a year ago there was a bad android webview update that caused most apps using it to crash and not work for a day or so on older versions of android (that were still being updated). This even included core applications such as sms messaging.
An ATI Radeon Driver update once killed one of my graphics cards
It was a ATI Radeon 9600 XT
It never worked again after updating the drivers. I never changed any hardware before then and vor some reason it just DIED.
Was in a harsh and stressful communication loop with the retailer back in the day... i hated it.
A friend of mine closed the lid on his laptop while updating windows.
It was windows 8
Took me 2 days to sort that mess and obviously ended up with a fresh install
In February windows update made a lot of DC's boot loop. May updates mess up RADUIS for system accounts. feels like it's problem every other time now
._. couple months ago windows pushed an update that would freeze my computer either when moving mouse or high IO usage, reinstalled windows, updated same issue, reinstalled windows again, this time didn't update windows and now I'm crashing every couple hours ._.
I think a windows 11 update broke my laptop the other day. It ran so slow and every time I tried to use windows it crashed. It was painful to restore.
Windows Update in Windows 10 broke audio over HDMI on my graphics card once. The HDMI audio device was listed and would even show activity no the meter when a sound "should" have been played, but nothing actually came out of my speakers. I had to switch back to on-board audio until I eventually got tired of fighting with Windows and switched even my gaming PC to Linux.
Updates are like patching up a hole in the tire.
You patch one hole and 3 more turn up because of it.
For me the worst update is the LG's soundbar upfate that they released some time ago. The update broke my sn5y subwoofer's pcb, but it got repaired for free. Still really anoying.
Wasn't there a driver from nvidia which disabled the fans on graphics card, making them burn up?
Wait really? That's scary
@Torvaltz It's more like the graphics card report its temperature to the system, which it uses the determine the fan speed.
I have no idea if this is what happened, but if a driver causes the card to constantly report something like 0°C the system may decided that the fans aren't needed, and turn them off, or at least to slow them down.
I have tried to look up which update it was, but I can't find much about it. :/
An update to .NET in August 2012 disabled TreeView menus in MS Access forms, bricking a couple of databases I had made, and the "patch" to fix it in September 2012 didn't fix the issue. I later learned I had to hack the Windows registry to reregister the TreeView menu control so MS Access forms using a TreeView wouldn't crash the database.
A different update to Visual Studio 2019 in December 2019 blocked the T-SQL UPDATE function, making it impossible to run a program that saves data into a local database. The system would run without any obvious errors, but skip the update step, so no new data or changes to old data would ever be written in the database. The problem wasn't fixed until after the first quarter of 2020. The flaw basically halted a project I had been working on for months, and the flaw wasn't fixed until after it was no longer worthwhile.
We use a bunch of somewhat niche plugins for Access and Excel at work that rely on even more niche features within said apps for quite important tasks like running figures and reports combined from all the disparate systems and formats we have to deal with throughout the business, and the number of times the plugins get bricked and need to be reinstalled after Office or Windows updates is insane. There's at least one time a week where someone has to manually go in and poke something or rip it out and put it back again to make it work. The funny thing is the plugins themselves don't even get updated all that often, so running the exact same plugin that broke with the Office update will work just fine once you reinstall it! There are so many little things like this when dealing with a large Microsoft dependent network. I'm amazed it works at all sometimes. The irony is that IT people hate Windows at home, but love it at work as it gives them job security when they have to constantly fix it haha!
I just had an ad where the actor who played Trevor in GTA was talking about some laundry detergent lmao
I had a recent issue with Pop OS when updating to 22.04. Even a fresh install didn't solve some of the problems involving Steam and my second drive. Switched to Mint.
