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? ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.
