Ah, the indifference with which I get to let $DAYJOB know that the temporary snapshot of the pre-transformation data I'd kept up for a couple days in case they wanted to revert it, because the company (or Microsoft) forces updates and system restarts, that information disappeared with their reboot. Had they mentioned it yesterday, I could have pretty readily restored the data.

If you force reboots that destroy in-process work—yes, the issue I've mentioned countless times—it can cause lost work/data. Mmhmm, it bit you again. 😑

a comic of an anthropomorphic laptop. In the first panel it asks, "There's a new update! But there are a few unsaved projects and you are gone for, like, five minutes now. May I update and restart anyway?" After a one-panel beat, the laptop concludes, "I'll take that as a yes."
