But you can install older versions , or choose when you update

TV I agree, my LG updated and now streaming video is broken.

For android phone GrapheneOS.

I haven't found Linux to be fragile. I think that is distro dependent.

I'm on same OpenSUSE (with version upgrades) since 2017. Every update has been fine, only time it was an issue is when nVidia driver got ahead of the kernel for a few days. But OpenSUSE you just choose the previous snapshot.

My wife's laptops is NixOS for maybe 3 years now, no issues.

GNOME puts it right in your face as a dialog message...but yeah people will ignore it

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (7 children)

Yeah too bad, they should have hilighted that on GNOME DE with OpenSUSE it prompts you that updates are available and you hit OK or cancel. KDE might have something similar.

Yep, the film has you empathize with both sides of their story. I though the actor playing the town simpleton did such a spectacular job too, just the right amount of quirk and lack of focus in his eyes.

Banshees of Inishirin.

Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy. Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre

Thanks, that's a great write up

I guess in my case the batteries may have had enough to signal they were functional, but they were effectively dead and had no UPS backup sustaining power. One battery had started to buldge its container. I can see it as being an as designed feature, that way they never let you down in a powerfailure event, as you get advanced notice that the battery is no longer working LOL. Had a corporation go down a few years ago, they had not replaced UPS batteries, when power wentout all UPS batteries were dead and couldn't sustain the servers until backup generator came online.

My CyberPower is 14 years old now still working fine, just needed battery swap at 10 year mark.

Haven't had this happen. Battery pack failed after 10 years. Unit still provided mains AC through battery backup plugs. There is a switcher inside to flip between mains and battery...maybe that was going bad in what you describe.
