🌐Interesting Tech Fact:
In 1984, IBM experimented with one of the first remote patching systems for its mainframes — a process that required physically mailing magnetic tapes containing update code to data centers worldwide. Administrators would manually load these tapes, run checksum verifications, and then broadcast the patch across internal terminals overnight. The first “networked update” didn’t occur until 1993, when Novell NetWare pioneered a distributed patching protocol over LAN, marking a quiet revolution that transformed how software evolved. What’s remarkable is that the concept of today’s seamless one-click updates was born from a manual process so fragile that a single misaligned tape reel could crash an entire corporate network — proving that modern update automation stands on decades of painstaking precision and analog resilience.
