Default

From iA wiki

See also: Standard | Optimize | Programming

Default is set of initial options or standard factory settings that are straight out of the box. Ideally they should be optimal for most users and easily recoverable.

In programming a good software design should allow for the default settings to be modified according to a user's preference. Upgrades like patches can change default settings that are vulnerable to exploits, errors, etc.
