Comment on USB hubs, printers, Java, and more seemingly broken by macOS 14.4 update
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 3 months agoI’ve been in tech for decades, so I know what they’re supposed to do, but my several thousand person company’s IT has decided to roll Mac updates out immediately for some weird reason
That said, we’re in an industry where there is likely legal risk if office machines are not running OS’ with all the latest security patches. But by pushing patches immediately, they also expose the company to technical problems or security vulnerabilities that accidentally appear in the occasional new release.

I think somebody said, but there’s the misconception that Apple can never do wrong by people who should know better.
On the other end of the spectrum, my IT department is rolling new laptops for everybody will l with Windows 10. The plan is to upgrade everybody “the day we can no longer have support for 10”.

Waiting until the last minute to do something necessary is a corporate tradition along with pushing emergency changes on a Friday afternoon and asking how much the LTS support costs

It’s not even waiting for the last moment. They are installing windows 10 on the new machines, that come with W11.

I mean XP didn’t hit EOL until 2019 so you might have another 15 years of security patches left on 10.
