Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices

As for updates, I’m guessing you turned off auto updates and/or power your console down completely whenever you’re not playing it. Otherwise it should just be updating in the background and you never have to wait.
I’m not saying those aren’t viable decisions with their own pros, but the stuff you were encountering was completely avoidable. I never triggered 2FA on either my Xbox (one -> XSS) or PS4.

For the updates: I put it to sleep. However my power cuts out every now and then. When the power comes back, the ps4 turns itself back on on and makes obnoxious beeping noises, just to tell me the power was cut. The dumb thing is it will stay on that screen until manually dismissed and won’t auto-update until you dismiss that screen, with no timeout. The hassle-free appliance experience!
For your claim that the eulas being easy to skip, keep in mind that sometimes there were back-to-back updates that each required me to agree to a eula. So I would babysit the thing, walk away when it was taking forever, and when I came back it wouldn’t even be ready for gaming. Even windows isn’t that obnoxious.
Also my tv at the time had no way to disable CEC (my new one does, and also doesn’t crash lol).

I mean dude that’s just a larger problem. If you were PC gaming that would be an even bigger issue.
Get a surge protector with battery - APC is a very affordable brand.

Yea I have one for my PC. Sony argues in court that a PlayStation is not a PC, but an appliance. I’m pointing out how untrue that is.

What PC or appliance stays on when your power cuts off?
