> As an example of a modern program that doesn't act in your interest, Zoom "accidentally" left a web server on Macs, even after it was uninstalled. https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/10/apple-silent-update-zoom-a...

Isn't this ridiculous? "the update does not require any user interaction and is deployed automatically." OK, how do I know if it's installed, or how to get it installed if it doesn't work? I guess there is just no help for me if I don't remember exactly how many auto-update mechanisms I've turned off.
