@ScribeOfGoD I'm not sure why you are on a tirade here but..
My job takes me out of the country for weeks at a time. Its not my fault that I don't turn on my PlayStation for 4 weeks, I haven't been at home. -
@bottswana I'm not on a tirade. I'm just saying you shouldn't be surprised you have to update when you don't use your devices for months..

@ScribeOfGoD I have no issues with updating software. I don't think any of us do as developers! But interrupting use when it isn't entirely nessessary is frustrating. For example, can I not turn on my lights before performing the firmware update?
-
@bottswana there could have been something in the update that need for safety reasons, security etc

@ScribeOfGoD if there was a justification for it, I wouldn't complain. Hue requires *mandatory* update on all its firmware updates, not select updates.
What is it with these companies and mandatory updates?
Microsoft with windows 10. Sorry your doing work? Nah, we've decided your going to update now! Sorry, we based our default update time on people not working late at night.
Philips hue. Wanna turn on your lights? Sorry, mandatory firmware update. You'd better install that before being able to see.
YouTube app on ps4. No sorry, can't open this, mandatory 80mb update.
FUCK SAKE PEOPLE.
