RetroFedHow does the software update release schedule work for time machines?

Do the patch numbers jump around randomly? Does each new software version have a smaller number instead of bigger so it counts down?

Time machines are hardware only
Ha! I knew software was a distracting trap to arrest the development of human civilization, I just didn’t know what it was distracting from until now!

“Is that where you got the clock, Doc?”
The version number is all of them at the same time. When you take a measurement you lock it temporarily into one configuration.
This happens with everything all the time. It’s most likely a certain way and you don’t notice it’s different because when it changes it was always that way, so that’s how you see it because that’s the environment your brain evolved in. Inside the field the machine generates it works differently and you can actually see the changes from look to look because your brain didn’t evolve that capability sort of like how you can’t detect most harmful radiation because there wasn’t any for your biological computer to train on. The really bad stuff all decayed long before we came along, and the new bad stuff doesn’t usually stick around long enough for us to adapt.
This has been my TED talk.
Username checks out, seems conclusive
Wouldn’t there only be multiple updates abiable with no number? Like just the latest version and maybe compatible stuff people made.
Aside from that mostly only when the first one would be made and hardware upgrades.
Also people would just probs use their native year in actuallity to mark the date.
this kinda causes a paradox of it being accessible before being done so then they would not need to make it but then it would never have been made.
best practice is to manually read the diff to determine if it’s a newer or older version before applying the patch
That sounds like a lot of work, so what I’ll do is travel into the future and ask my future self who’s already read the manual to tell me which update I should install.
There’s no way this could possibly go wrong.
Unfortunately, future me loves pranks.
Tomorrow’s update was yesterday. Last Thursday’s update comes in 2 months.
Dunno but I wouldn’t wanna get caught during reboot…
