Company wide email last week: there is an emergency patch for some software you’ve never heard of. Please update manually NOW; if it’s not patched by Tuesday, your machine will forcibly reboot.

Me: o software management portal of my work machine, is this software even installed, that I might update it?

portal: it’s not installed, no.

[Tuesday comes]

Your machine is going down NOW in the middle of the workday because you FAILED TO INSTALL THE PATCH, SINNER.
