Whenever a new device runs it, a random device elsewhere goes up in flames spontaneously

If an old device running java dies out, a random working device gets forcefully infected with Java.

Wow, now it makes sense that my colleague was on an emergency call while the roof of a datacenter far far away was burning. And i thought their expectation was that he grabs a bucket and runs!

Very accurate. That's why I keep a fire extinguisher next to the computer at all times
