Software that controls your body should always respect your freedom. This article is a recap of scandals of medical devices, like hearing aids, insulin pumps, bionic eyes, and pacemakers, and what we can learn from them.

I ran an iPhone for many years and never updated anything at all. The apps were updated automatically.
Edit: Ah, you’re talking about an iOS update. Forgive my lack of reading comprehension. Apps that have been automatically updated have been known to stop working, however.
No worries. I clearly should have articulated my point better. I’m always worried about over explaining or sounding pendantic.
That makes two of us :)
