What if, having a battery already on the edge of failure, the upgrade slightly changed the charging/discharge cycle and thus accelerated and/or compounded the failure?

I love how the ecosystem like to use the same old mantra, "You can sill use <insert old="" os=""> here but you won't get anymore security updates anymore. Oh my gosh I'm shaking.
|
|
|
|
|
In my opinion, the word "but" is not correct there. It should be "and". You can use the old OS AND you won't get any updates. For me, that is a win-win.

Linux is both the most popular operating system and a niche end-user OS. How can that be? Follow along, my friends, and I’ll tell you. And who is responsible?

That's the beauty of it - no one person in the Linux dev community can be blamed for these problems, because they're all responsible.

Statisticians at Cornell University have developed a new text-mining approach that can reportedly help mobile app developers sort out app reviews to more quickly zero in on problems that need immediate attention. Getting to, "works as designed" even faster

With the addition of Parallel Algorithms in C++17, you can now easily update your “computing” code to benefit from parallel execution. In the article, I’d like to examine one STL algorithm which naturally exposes the idea of independent computing. Create your own parallel universes

Quote: sequenced_policy - is an execution policy type used as a unique type to disambiguate parallel algorithm overloading and require that a parallel algorithm’s execution may not be parallelized.

A recent pilot study by kinesiologists found that pedaling while conducting work tasks improved insulin responses to a test meal. Investigators found that insulin levels following the meal were lower when sedentary workers used a pedal desk compared to a standard desk. In addition, work skills were not decreased in the pedaling condition. You didn't need that dignity anyway
|
|
|
|
|
This is only step one.
Step 2 is to add generators to the pedals.
Step 3 is to detach the desk-user's computer from any power source than the generators on the pedals.
Step 4 is to fire anyone who doesn't get their work done.
Then the company can boast that its employees are the fittest and healthiest, because of their great initiative to improve employee health.

Your scenario seemed a very likely conclusion of it. I was reminded of Edward G. Robinson on the generator bike in Soylent Green when I was reading the original article.

All systems fail, eventually. But with thoughtful site reliability engineering and sane DevOps practices, sometimes you can fail gracefully, learn from mistakes, and make IT systems more resilient.

I took it that you were making a pun about failing gracefully! And that they were trying to sugar-coat failure! Made me laugh!
