@dkf Well don't worry I'm sure I'm stupid and wrong and an idiot etc.

cooperative Hexen game
I think that Zandronum runs Hexen with no noticeable problems if you feed HEXEN.WAD to it:
As a bonus, you get client-server multiplayer instead of P2P, so only server is required to be accessible from the outside networks; other players may be behind NAT.

A failure to update increases the risk of malware, which allows it to HARM other peoples computers.
Only if you get malware installed. Nowadays, there are very few viruses that can spread without user's interaction. And the remaining ones mostly harm multibillionaires who bought into the cryptocurrency bubble.

@Zerosquare What doesn't? That article was last updated 2018 - the only thing it says is that Option 5 no longer works, when you probably want Option 2 anyway.
You could also use@NoAutoUpdate=1
instead of@AUOptions=2
.Actually it looks to me like the way to go is
@NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers=1
. I don't think most of us have a problem with updating our systems, it's just the unexpected and badly timed reboots that annoy us.

Since when did insulin pump software run on PCs??Well, it kinda does. But fortunately it is only a configurator that lets the doctor adjust it to the condition of the patient. So if it gets restarted in the middle of the session, the pump will just reset to previous setting or some safe default.

But, they have poked at the embedded space before. A combination of bad decisions could get there.
They still do. As far as I can tell, Microsoft Auto is still supported—though it hasn't been updated since something like 2010—and there are dozens of controllers with it in cars of some brands. Fortunately those things are not connected to the internet and do not install updates automatically.
They are also dabbling in the IoT domain now.

To fully control the update mechanism, you need the "Enterprise" edition, which (besides being more expensive) can't be bought easily.
Yup. Discussed this with our admins lately. To have “Enterprise” a company needs to have a license server running.

hey, it's better than nothing, though I would prefer JSON or something, yes
The point is that XML has schemata and has had them for ages and Gnome has a validating parser in the libxml2 library, so they can (and do) use schemata to define what settings each application has. JSON only got schemata much later and they are not as flexible.

XML isn't transactional
XML is just a format. It makes no sense for it to be or not be transactional. As far as I can tell, the GConf library and service used to access it are.

You mean copy, edit, move back? That's pretty annoying to have to implement for everything, and then you have to deal with creating temporary files and do you even have file create permissions and who knows... I'd rather have the API be transactional in the first place.
That's the library's job to take care of it. I think the GConf one does, though it might actually just lock the files for writing after collecting the new contents; I haven't looked inside. It certainly does sychronize access from multiple applications though.
