It's not a burden. Your statement that suggests the desire for up to date software means that you wouldn't have to update your entire system to get the latest app, you'd already have an up to date system.
For third party developers nearly every project has ABI compatibility, the only reason they'd have to create different versions is if their project depends on esoteric functions and routines that were never previously available. This is rare given the normal "do one thing and do it well" nature of Linux dependencies.
I'd rather update the distribution at that point. I guess I've been doing so at such a pace where I don't have any problems running the apps and versions that I want, even though I wait enough time to upgrade for issues to be worked out. I'd rather do that than have possible unpatched dependencies. For older systems where updating to a new version impacts performance detrimentally then it would be an option. But how often does that happen?
"Skype has turned to snaps to ensure its users on Linux, are automatically delivered to its latest version upon release."
Are they also going to release a new snap any time one of the static linked dependencies are updated as well?
"And with snaps' roll-back feature, whereby applications can revert back to the previous working version in the event of a bug"...and also previous unpatched versions of static linked dependencies as well.
I think I like normal packages with shared libraries I can ensure are up to date whenever any app or utility relies on them to run.
I spend about 20 minutes a day to get caught up on a few things (hobbies, news), otherwise only get important notifications from family members should anything happen and that's it.
I used to spend a lot of time, but it was not productive, so I scaled it back. I found that I would mostly get caught up in some fluff or trivia that wouldn't affect my life for the better. At the end of the day I wouldn't have accomplished much or furthered myself in any way. Now it's not like I don't have fun, but now my fun is more active and engaging rather than passive and mind numbing.
Sometimes I will look up a word in a dictionary or fact on wikipedia or a wikihow to help me with an activity or repair should I find the need and that's the only time I will go out of my way.
That means you need to rely on the snap package maintainer to keep all components patched and up to date, rather than updating each component yourself through your normal package manager. I'm not sure how timely those updastes are. I would only use snaps to try bleeding edge releases and not for normal use.
It seems like MS could have some sort of lab with various configurations of relatively recent hardware where they can test updates they deem ready for production.
How can we honor the memory of a man like John Young? Like all men, he was governed by the laws of physics. It is a scientific fact that hearts and clocks slow down as they approach the speed of light. Dr. Hanlin's heart reached that speed at 7:35 pm last night, according to the coroner, transforming his matter into energy, into pure white light. Though he is no longer with us, he is all around us.;)

Why does it have to be that the wristband is tracked and managed rather than the band doing navigation through it's own logic?

The fact that they bundle dependencies are what makes me feel they're unsafe. I can't rely on snap packages to have up to date dependencies.

Some watches store the info and just upload when the phone is turned on, or function as phones themselves, so no smart devices period
I don't want any and avoid them. I'd rather pay up front for what I need, pick and choose.

A smart leader can also intuit how to break things down and communicate effectively in a manner which will be broadly understood.
Sounds like they put someone in charge who knows how licensing deals and monetization of existing properties works.

I thought that was just supposed to emerge naturally by what people agreed upon. Colloquialisms become official language.
Inventory, costs, shipping, billing, distribution, KPI, projections
LibreOffice macros have come a long way, they are very good now and I am no longer running into any roadblocks personally.
This will probably lead to more implementations of geoblocking and VPN blocking shenanigans
My bad I thought OP was talking about microcode updates and that's what the ensuing discussion was about. You're right.
Exactly. Microcode is instructions that live in volatile memory that divert and change the normal logic operation of a CPU, used to address errata.
Yes but their web services are state of the art.
Even faster if you don't use rigged benchmarks and compilers!
OIC, good one.
I was under the impression KB4056892 was a finalized patch that was officially issued?
Speaking to users with multiple configs I'm surprised the insiders did not help catch this either
It seems like MS could have some sort of lab with various configurations of relatively recent hardware where they can test updates they deem ready for production.
...at least when mainboard makers support the option in UEFI.
