See! People should register via mail for those important notifications! (Or alternatively do quarterly checks that your firmware is up to date).

A lot of companies have teams dedicated to hardware that don’t give a shit about it. And their managers don’t give a shit.

Then the people under them who do give a shit, because they depend on those servers, aren’t allowed to register with HP etc for updates, or to apply firmware updates, because “separation of duties”.

Basically, IT is cancer from the head down.
