on my work computer, 99% of my issues are related to botched updates running in the background without my knowledge

I take responsibility for ~2% of the issues on my work system

Congrats on having 101% of your issues :)

~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.
