@pikesley I remember, when going from Windows to Mac and marvelling at how little pointless and avoidable maintenance I had to do, how a lot of people still captured by Windows resorted to PEBKAC-like pelters. I pointed out how I no longer spent 5% of my working day in regedit.exe and some people hid their tears.

@pikesley an IT Infrastructure Bloke at work said "Macs are for musicians and show-offs" and i thought "Well yes"

@zool @pikesley Funny that, because where I work almost all the infrastructure people use Macs. Not having them forcibly reboot in the middle of a rolling switch firmware update is regarded as a necessity.

Our corporate security team has bought that delightful experience bank to macs, almost... Currently it's annoying popups rather than forced reboots, but I'm waiting for that to change
