All my cards get paid off in full by direct debit. So basically they act as debit cards. I'm the worst possible customer for credit card companies as they'll never make a penny from me
The downside to that is if you ever really do need credit. Your credit report shows the highest balance you've had on each card.

Blades, blade chassis, SAN, tape library, etc. When there is a problem one of the top 10 questions will be "Is your firmware up to date?"
I regularly update firmware as hardware moves through it's lifecycle. The one exception I have is on some Raritan IP KVMs, where the
manufacturer advised me not to update the firmware unless I'm having an issue. But again that is the exception, not the rule.
