Without going into much detail, my workplace sells a product that's makes use of an industrial computer that has two regular off the shelf hard drives in it. For some reason both hard drives are similar, but were sourced from different manufacturers. We got a notification from the provider that manufacturer B would cease production and proposed us to use two drives from manufacturer A instead. I had the genius idea of giving my two cents and suggesting we accept as it will work, they are just standard hard drives after all. Now I became the hard drive expert at work, got dragged into endless meetings and being asked the dumbest of questions regarding this change. It's been a year and the change hasn't been approved by higher ups yet.
