MODERATORS
Running an un-updated OS is really stupid. Bragging about it is even worse.
Really?
Show me evidence of your claim.
Also, cute personal insult there. Grow up.
I've got a metric for you: I've lost hundreds/thousands of hours to updates on numerous systems throughout my 35+ year career.
I've never once lost time or data to a hack.
There are millions of systems still running windows 95 for hardware that can't use anything newer (think CNC machines). Are those admins "stupid" for not upgrading? Or maybe, becuase they know their risk model, they've addressed the risks properly, through layering?
So who's stupid here?
You want me to prove to you that not applying security updates is stupid?
Also, those systems running 95 don't connect to the internet. Phones do.
These are never connected to the internet though. Also, these aren't personal devices that store sensitive information, they're just used for one specific task (and without internet connection), which is fine.
