While true and they have a point...
With having to do a restart after installing major programs the headline sounded like it's from a satire site for an article about NSA snooping.
Like, they just did an update and now we all need to reboot lol
I completely thought it was an Onion headline.
I mean this has been a cybersecurity best practice forever. If anything, it's someone at the NSA having a chuckle knowing how the cynics will react to something which is barely a step above common sense.
