Even the centralized control of the organization you work for can be tricky. I tend to leave my work machine on overnight/weekends due to something running on it. When I come in in the morning, and find it's not running anymore because the management decided to update/reboot the machines connected, it can be frustrating.
What about database and app servers. hah ! You’d have all your users with NOTHING if you let somebody hose your server with some idiotic update that you didn’t ask for.
It’s like people don’t understand that things need to be tested prior to happening in PRODUCTION.
Ah, people auto-update all over nowadays.
Whatever, right ? just be there to pick up the pieces when they fall on their face. get your backup set up right and make sure it’s ok.
