The Update From Hell

Yesterday, Verizon pushed out an update for the Android OS onto my smartphone. Since then, my phone has been decidedly less smart.
About a quarter of my apps no longer work. Ironically, one of them is Google Messenger. Some apps seem to work and then crash unexpectedly. Others save time by puking immediately. Thanks. I always appreciate it when people don't waste my time.
This is another example of what happens when you have a vast ecosystem that lacks a real controlling body. Anarchy! No really what you get is an OS update that nukes so many apps that it can only be termed a disaster.
So here is my advice - next time make sure major apps like, oh I don't know, Facebook work before you push an update out. Otherwise, don't push put updates.
