The level of panic I just experienced was huge just now when all of my Qubes backups, going back years, could not be restored. 😳😱

Suffice to say, there's some important stuff on there...

But it's cool, I have it restoring now.

It was either an intermittently bad cable or flakey USB-C port on this new motherboard.

I'm sure as hell not going to touch it now that it is restoring! Once it's done, then I can investigate further to see what's not working and if it's the cable, I'll give it to my worst enemy. 😈

The ladt couple of years I've likewise come to the conclusion that faulty cables can cause some nasty annoyances and headaches, not easy to solve unless you know that a cable can be faulty .. 😵‍💫

It seems to be far more common than I'd expect had I not seen evidence to the contrary. I mean, it's a wire.

Humans have been making wires for a while now and I feel like if my speaker wire never goes bad, then my USB wires should not go bad either!
