> Predictable and much better than not saying anything, and silently rebooting when I go to get a tea with 10 apps opened.

According to the process flow diagram in the article, that won't happen unless you were working outside of your Active Hours and left your computer unattended for more than 15 minutes.

The Active Hours window can be an 18 hour window.

Must suck for those times you need to do 24 hours of work, huh?

this reminds me of those kinds of discussions with teenagers where every ridiculous escalation of hypotheticals comes with a triumphant "ah ah, HA why should I do my homework at all beleaguered on all sides by paper eating dogs as I am".

You don't work 24h and if you do, you shouldn't. If you still do well then make sure to check updates before your "shift"

And then fix all the things that the update breaks?

If your workflow routinely brakes from updates then you probably need to reevaluate your whole setup.
