Another day, another problem caused by OS vendors half-applying updates without permission. I am seriously disgusted with my former colleagues.

@Obdurodon I must follow different feeds. What happened?

@penryu Oh, one of my Chromebooks[1] just couldn't stay connected to my Bluetooth earbuds all of a sudden. Saw that there were updates pending, did them (required a reboot), everything's fine. Windows on my game machine does the same creeping-flakiness thing, and IIRC MacOS did as well.

[1] I like 'em because they're so cheap they're practically disposable, generally easy to maintain, and (unlike Macs) have a familiar OS underneath that I can get to.

@Obdurodon Ah, thanks for the info. I've seen occasional issues of that sort on macOS. Much less on Linux, simply because I usually run them headless.

No shame in Chromebooks. I started running MacBooks for work some time ago and have stuck with them mostly out of habit.

That said, I've had such good luck with Asahi on Apple M-series CPUs, I've only had to reboot into macOS for the occasional piece of software that hasn't been bothered to support Linux/aarch64... YET!
