You're trying to tell me that before Flock, if a department mistakenly listed a car as stolen, police departments wouldn't try to pull it over if they saw it? Flock invented the concept of pulling over cars marked as stolen? Just give up dude
That has nothing in common what what happened. Literally any solution that finds stolen cars would have caused this to happen, and somehow your conclusion is "we can't repo stolen cars anymore."
This mistake had nothing to do with Flock, and your reaction is due Flock out of existence? This is why people can't take you seriously.
The difference was almost entirely to FORCIBLY OBSOLETE a ton of perfectly serviceable machines merely because they came with TPM 1.2 or less from the manufacturer, or they had a CPU "not quite new enough," because OEMs were screaming "we need to force people to trash computers and spend money buying new hardware from us."
OEMs started salivating at Apple's "3 year old hardware? Fuck you, throw it in the trash and buy something new" sales model and demanded MS start doing the same thing.
If someone like MachineShedFred is getting a forced reboot in the middle of the day, it's because he's the Dumb Fucking Retard who's been pushing "delay" on the machine over and over and "sleeping" the machine during the mandatory reboot times rather than save his work and pick a sensible moment, and now he's run past the mandatory delay allowance. He's known this reboot was coming, he just chose to IGNORE it and be a whiny little bitch about it.
Most IT departments have no idea how to set up automatic updating properly so that it still gets the job done, but doesn't piss off the users that you can't really piss off...
Most Dumb Fucking Retard Users like MachineShedFred imagine that they are above the requirements that IT have been ordered to apply to everyone, or that they've found some magical "workaround" to the system. I have no sympathy for his bullshittery.
