The UPS for my home network started going bad this week, and apparently it isn’t designed to “fail open” to operate like a power strip / surge protector — it started cycling power instead, presumably because the lead acid battery is no good after many years of service. One little reminder that I’m no where near #permacomputing if I can’t even keep this running without having to buy replacements. (Future UPSes should be based on some heavy, long-lived battery chemistry!)
Anecdotal: 2 pairs of Bedphones fell apart within a year of starting use — I do not recommend them due to this durability problem and the loudness problem.
