The system is set up to fail users. They've had decades to figure this out. We have children who is ambulances are being diverted.
I'm one of "them". The problem is far harder than you might imagine. Massive research has been done on both software quality and security
but we're no better at preventing and identifying bugs than we were 40 years ago. Meanwhile the systems keep getting more complex.
The point here isn't identifying bugs. Software will always have bugs. The upgrade patch cycle is broken, and it is an emergency.
Reasons people don't upgrade patch are structural; and it is not okay for a company in $100 billion in cash not to spend more to help fix.
