I’ve been dealing with some wireless problems and then I got hit with major software updates for my virus software (three machines), Firefox on four machines, and then IOS 9.0 on the iPAD.
I got most of that done, when the iPad decided I needed 9.0.1. OK, things get missed with major upgrades and require patches. I was not so sanguine when after finishing 9.0.1 I was told to update 9.0.2. Come on guys, this is really annoying. 😡

And now I get told that a new release of Mac OS X is waiting for me to download an install it. Uhm, no. It includes a new security feature (SIP) that apparently breaks any software that needs direct access to the hardware — like, say, the VirtualBox virtualization software that I need in order to run Windows and Linux.
Sigh. Evil. They’re *all* evil. Every single one of them. Well, maybe “Linux” isn’t evil, because it really can’t be, what with the legal requirement to release source code and all that, but the Linux desktop sucks bollocks so badly that this isn’t really a solution for a laptop. SIGH.
They all want to lock you in to their software and don’t give a damn about your needs. IOS 9 automatically shifts you to a cell connection if it feels your WiFi connection isn’t up to snuff. That is going to seriously annoy some people.
