Interesting. The article seems to claim otherwise? How would Paul have fixed the issues he was coming across? If you had to, say, do Windows/Mac updates in the current architecture in a remote place, how would that work? I thought updates were required by MS/Apple?
They're not required if you disable or block them. In an enterprise environment, you deploy a local update server, like I said.
As far as your personal devices are concerned, though, you're on your own. If your iPhone refuses to do something because it wants an update, you'll just have to wait to do that thing until you get home. We don't have the bandwidth to spare.
