What technical issues did you ignore for an extended period of time? (leminal.space)

On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

Not getting a UPS for my server. Even though I'm pretty sure one of my VMs got corrupted (it won't boot in ESXi anymore) after the server shutdown during a brownout several months back. I've had a server at home for like 4yrs now. Have experienced multiple brownouts. Still don't have a UPS, even though I always look for one.

I can't imagine running a server without a UPS unless you only use it for experimental stuff...

It is a homelab, so it's all basically experimental. I don't really need any of this.

But yes, I should absolutely just buy a UPS =x
