To be fair, on my work computer, 99% of my issues are related to botched updates running in the background without my knowledge, consent, or input.
Sketchy CMD scripts run in the background, all the fans spin up, then the drivers just randomly give up and bring the whole system down with it.
100% of the issues on my personal system are self inflicted.
I take responsibility for ~2% of the issues on my work system.
Congrats on having 101% of your issues :)
98.5 rounds up to 99, 1.5 rounds up to 2%
~2%means approximately 2 percent. So still right.Sometimes math is hard.
Also sometimes I take responsibility for fucking up silent updates - I hear the fan spinning up but I still feel the need to reboot just to settle things down.
Are you one of those "No backup, no mercy"-folks? /j
Some of them are self-fixed, but I have a habit of hitting update without reading the breaking changes.
That said, crashes on my personal system are much fewer and farther between.
