This program warns you about services that need to be restarted after a library they use has been changed. It also warns if a new microcode-package was installed *sometime* in the past and the system hasn't rebooted yet. If you don't regulary install packages or use unattended-upgrades, the installation of the new microcode-package may have been days or weeks ago and you just didn't remember it, seeing the reminder from needrestart surprised you.

node.js updates processor microcode?
I just installed npm on a Stable (Buster) system with apt. It brought in dozens of other packages. Then I worked on other stuff while it downloaded and installed. When I came back, a curses prompt was informing me that it had already updated my kernel microcode. Is that something node.js is really supposed to do.
