Google Chrome emergency update fixes zero-day used in attacks
You don’t opt-in to updates to Chrome and you will have one hell of a time opting out. If you’re on Windows, take a look at your task scheduler and notice that the Google Update task runs every hour in which it sends the current version of Chrome (stored in registry) to a Google URL and if that doesn’t match the latest then Google Chrome updates. You just need to restart your browser. Google update is a branded open source project called Omaha which is a very minimal and clever approach to application updates. Here’s the GitHub if you’re interested in learning more.

Updating Google Chrome
Hi there. Chrome uses GoogleUpdate.exe to... er... update itself. GoogleUpdate is based on a project called Omaha. There is pretty good detail on how it works here. It might be as simple as force-running GoogleUpdate.exe with PowerShell to kickoff the update process.

Python Versions and Release Cycles
For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.
