I myself don't blame the computor in my house. I blem it on the internet provider nerds who think we need the latest update or decide we have a problem and send updates without permission. 
That is not the internet providers, that is your good pal Microsoft, screwing up your machine in your house to your detriment. You probably thought you owned your computer, you don't, Microsoft is effectively leasing it to you, don't do what they want, you are out of business.
Ted does not have that problem, he is using MacOS. There, at least, you do get a choice - for now.
