While I generally agree, I must say that my Ryobi tools are doing just fine after 15ish years of use. Primarily the drill is what’s used, and it’s seen some shit but aside from a little cosmetic issue (rubber peeling off here and there) it’s in great working order. I can afford better now, but I’m happy enough to keep what I’ve got.
I’m just a handy home owner, so it’s not like I’m abusing these things.
Yeah, rough day. Reading shitposts and laughing at all the other orgs that were down…it was a blast.
Healthcare. I’m in IT.
Some people prefer offices, others not. My employer gave us the option of where we work, and it’s been working out very well. About 5% chose to be in the office, another 10-15% are hybrid, the rest are fully remote. With proper support from management, it works great.
There are probably newer ones that come with LiPos. But every consumer grade one I’ve seen is traditional lead acid batteries.
…(it is kinda like a bomb after all)…
WAT? I’ve never heard a UPS referred to as “kinda like a bomb” before.
Keep your UPS maintained, replace the batteries when they age out, and it will be fine. If your UPS supports automated self-tests, use them.
My employer has UPS units spread all over the region we operate in, and we don’t have any issues, despite leaving them mostly unattended for years. I have several in my house and I’ve never given them a second thought aside from battery replacements.
My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some “anti-piracy” bullshit firm that contacted my ISP.
I think you answered your own question.
I see a “Women for T****” sign down the road. That’s what the words say, anyway. What it says to me is “I vote against my own best interest.”
