Same way watching tv does.

But do we even disagree my friend?

dear raul, did you read the article? 'Here's a fair warning: this article is reductio ad absurdum, therefore you shouldn't take it as gospel. '

Of course it is. Context matters. I was trying to keep with the spirit of the article: 'Here's a fair warning: this article is reductio ad absurdum, therefore you shouldn't take it as gospel. ' Usually though in my experience, if you also control the network, then most security updates can wait to be tested on a non-production machine. Also it helps to Never ever use Windows.

If the software you are using auto-updates and you lose business or esteem of peers -- it's YOUR fault.

Allowing most software companies to update anything on an running functioning work-related machine that you use to make $$, is ASKING FOR IT. WHEN it breaks something that is your fault for being so stupid.

I update software in most cases by installing it on another machine/device and then once it is confirmed to work, switching devices and wiping the former-work-device.

Yes I have more than 2 of everything critical for making $$.

Yes I filter all my inbound and outbound network traffic and default deny, at home and on the road

Software that prevents you from disabling auto-updates is a virus.

What a pile of nonsense. Now I'm not an American and have no stake beyond not wanting your country to burn because it's bad for the world... but come on? Have you ever seen another president treated that way? Maybe Nixon? Imagine if he was on twitter when in office. Extra leeway lolololol. You must be a reporter or a FAANG employee with options?

Many people simply can't hack startup culture. Corp 'culture' created by worthless (damaging) HR dept isn't even that -- its innovation poison. Perfect for hack and hangers on -- u know... people who call themselves 'thought leaders'. Yoga has zero place at a serious busines. It's not a daycare!

In mid 2000s as a lead HPC sysadmin I accidentally pasted 'shutdown now' into the head node of a 200 CPU HPC cluster, which was 3 weeks into a 12 week simulation job! Fortunately that thing never shut down cleanly and it hung as usual, unable to unmount the NFS share used by all the compute nodes. For the next 9 weeks I was staring at that screen hoping it would keep going and I would not be fired. In the end nobody was ever the wiser.

After they killed OpenSolaris... never ever again.
