Eh I am used to it. Even when I ask for an example of a end user getting compromised from using out of date software (like a new story, court case, etc.) and they come up empty I am still somehow the “insane” one. You are better to learn to back up things, not get caught in phishing attacks (the most common risk) and watch your accounts then even worrying about security updates.
