A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That might backfire on WD. I wonder if people will be posting pics of successive warnings like a trophy. Like sometime posting screenshots of router uptimes.

When I see long uptimes, my first and pretty much only thought is of unpatched vulnerabilities.

Eh, depends on the purpose of the device and what it's running. Many Linux/Unix kernels don't need reboot to restart services after updates.

They do have to reboot to apply kernel updates, and kernels have their share of vulnerabilities.

Lol, I kinda hope so. I wanna see some of the uptimes people have accumulated! I’ve seen as high as around 100k POH on an old Barracuda.
