It's tragically that people suffering from intellectual disability get scammed by companies removing the light switches. People who don't suffer from intellectual disability, ensure to get working light switches, that could be used to turn the light off and on, even if their computers shouldn't work. Smart people interested in such knick knacks at least wouldn't use something restricted and immediately restore the system from a backup. I never heard of anybody who was unable to turn on the light, because an Ubuntu or any other distro upgrade has broken wifi. Important production environments for professional work should be LTS releases. An admin should maintain the professional environment, e.g. taking care of https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ and available security upgrades. Assuming that a home computer should fail, this shouldn't be a tragedy. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
