It's the day before the grand opening but we need a firmware update. It'll be fine

Re: Windows upgrade in process
Back in the Windows XP days, my company had a standard image with a tool that would checksum c:\program[sic] files, c:\windows etc to make sure that all patches had been applied and nothing had been changed.
This wasn't a bad idea in principle, but it was configured to run every four hours and in the days of single core Pentium 4s and hard discs this meant your laptop turned into a paperweight. This actually killed a number of high-profile presentations and generally made it hard to use your computer

Re: Trust
For a while I got spam from addresses given to (later) compromised websites claiming my computer had been hacked and here's your password to prove it and they needed me to pay them money...
I don't know if the spammers bought the details somewhere or if they got them from sites like these. Either way, using a unique email address for everywhere (and a password manager) means I can easily block the compromised addresses.

What came first? The chicken, the egg, or the bodge to make everything work?

We had something similar in a DR rehearsal once where we obviously didn't want to do it connected to the network to avoid clashes. I had few problems bringing up the Linux side of things, the guy doing the Windows side of things couldn't bring up up the Windows side of things as the was no AD available* and no way of getting it. In the end someone from a different site had to provide a backup which he restored from and could then get going, this took quite a while though.
* If there was a real emergency then we'd have AD etc available from the company's other sites as soon as we had network.

Re: On-again-off-again
Priority for home office is given to the vulnerable - those that can't be vaccinated, E.g. autoimmune diseases, expectant mothers etc.
Many people in those groups* can now be vaccinated.
* Obviously check with your doctor if you're in one of these groups rather than take medical advice from a random Commentard....

Diminishing returns
At the heart of the concept are processes to cut down on the footprint of the traditional data centre – almost a move back toward local, smaller sites rather than football-sized darkened rooms of servers.
I dunno, I think a football is already quite small for a datacentre....
