Apple To Make macOS Sierra Available As Automatic Download Beginning Today (loopinsight.com)
Remember how Microsoft was pushing Windows 10 updates to your computers? That surely made a lot of people furious. Today, Apple told The Loop that it will also begin automatic download of its latest desktop operating system update, macOS Sierra on Macs that are compatible with the new software -- provided, automatic downloads are switched on and the Mac has enough storage space. From the report: t's important to note that this is not an automatic installer -- this process will only download the update in the background, and then alert you that it is available to install. You can choose to install it when its convenient. You can also choose to ignore the update. [...] Of course, you can manually delete the download if you don't wish to upgrade, and you can choose to manually download the update from the App Store at any time.
Yes, because we should all make it as hard as possible to get security updates
Turning on automatic updates *doesn't install them either* you numskull, they would just be downloaded... what is so hard about downloading them when you see them? Until you are living in a hut in Alaska and you only go into town once a week for the internet, that should not be an issue or delay you from updating in any way whatsoever.
This whole article is just the most absurd thing to complain about I have ever seen.

No, I do not remember, because I'm a Mac user.
Most of the haters here don't actually own a Mac to actually understand ...
No, but they tried a Mac out for all of three minutes at their local Best Buy store and that makes them experts.
