Although this doesn't present much of a problem at home, when one is travelling in areas with less robust net connections, it can become one.
Jay's sisters set their phones to not update daily. If they didn't take this preventative measure, they'd be out of metered 4G data within a few days.

Sometimes it's all minorly annoying.

It seems I had a least a half dozen lightbulbs that needed new firmware. They are regular LED lightbulbs but are controlled by wifi. For gosh sake, I had to be connected to the Internet to update my lightbulbs!
The process took only moments and it went smoothly. I'm just surprised by some of the things I must do in 2023.
