«Oppgraderinger» er bare «bloatware»
Et noe omskrevet sitat fra en kommentar hos digi.no: «Oppgraderinger» i dag er bare «bloatware» med ingen ytelsesforbedringer, og er fullstappet med bakgrunnstjenester som overvåker deg og tapper maskinen for krefter.

One of my MySQL 5.7.12 instances refused to start after upgrading to FreeBSD’s MySQL port version 5.7.12_1, claiming: 2016-05-18T11:03:26.688719Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: The Auto-extending innodb_system data file ‘/var/db/mysql/ibdata1’ is of a different size 4864 pages (rounded down to MB) than specified in the .cnf file: initial 8192 pages, max 0 (relevant if non-zero) pages! “Googling” […]

I wonder if the ID badge is genuine, but I doubt the name matches the pictured individual.
