12 years and 11 months of powered-on time for this SSD… I should definitely turn it on for another month lol

10 years powered-on time for this HDD. Who says HDDs aren’t reliable? 😂

Anyone got better numbers than these?

    Are you me?

    This is the exact argument I make about updating.

    Without knowing, you’re just trading known risks for unknown risks.

    Known risks can be managed.

    My opinion of the constant update cycle today: it rationalizes management’s liability offloading while also justifying staffing requirements and therefore budget.

    Liability and risk are related, but very different things.
