    Scuze me who are you? And I don't know what it is you think you know about me, but you don't. Find a hobby. It looks like you desperately need one. Reported for trolling. Your account too. Enjoy it while it lasts. There's smoke in my iris But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids So I'm ready now (What you ready for?) I'm ready for life in this city And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me

    The cause usually is pure laziness and lack of imagination on the part of the UI designers/developers. Popping up a dialogue box followed by another, and so on, is easy and quick (and so often horrible for the user). But job done, move on.....

    Thanks. I'll hunt around and see what I can see. Edit: This was illuminating 4080 mobile vs 3080 desktop[^] Overall, you were right. I stand corrected. To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

    Neat! The main reason I'm using the Orange Pi Zero2 is it uses an AllWinner H616 which is relatively easy to source, and the board has schematics. To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

But perhaps you mean due to hardware failure. Then you should engage in being proactive and not reactive. So you replace parts before they can fail. So don't wait until a hard fails but instead track usage and then replace it before it reaches its maximum life time. Same would be true for other parts in the system (and include new computers as one replacement.) There are limits to that of course as parts become no longer available so you must adapt.

    I have to admit it took a little forensic searching; the first link went to a street food venue in Manchester.

    I have not looked too deeply into Bluetooth as it certainly does seem as you describe it. Quite why the OP is continuing on this rather vain quest is something I also do not understand.

    Having to fsck continually is a symptom of either failing hardware (disk or disk controller on MoBO), or poor admin practices. Older file systems (eg. ext[2-4]) do have filesystem attributes that tell the OS to run fsck on reboot every n mounts or if fsck has not been run for n days. If you are using and ext based file system, then you can check and modify those values with dumpe2fs and tune2fs. You're going to hate me for saying so, but check the man pages for those commands to see how they work. I'm don't know if xfs or btrfs have similar attributes. You can check what filesystems are in use by examining /etc/fstab e.g: # cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/u /u ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 If you have xfs or btrfs or other file system, then google for the filesystem type and maintenance. That should hopefully lead you to the correct incantations to manage the fs. I have many Linux systems under my care. My main day-to-day system is currently running Fedora-37, but I help manage various boxes all over the place running various CentOS flavors, and Raspberry PIs running Rasbian. There are only 2 cases that an fsck needs to be run manually. 1) there's disk corruption, likely due to hardware malfunction. 2) an improper shutdown - normally due to a power outage. If you're continually having to run fsck, then its almost certainly due to one of those 2 issues. If you do a normal shutdown (eg either poweroff or shutdown -h as root) and wait for the system to power itself off, then you're almost certainly looking at failing hardware. See what smartctl (again RTFM!) can tell you, and try running some of the disk self tests. Good luck! Keep Calm and Carry On

    Ah...misread...thought there was a question about a powered device. Non powered devices rely on insulation which works for either cold or hot since it is transference where either changes state.
