It's no big secret that electronics often have a limited lifetime built in. Often it's something that could easily be protected by a small component that would have cost only a few cents. Without it, some little transistor will slowly degrade and fail after a certain time. With both monitors probably having seen almost identical usage, it's no big wonder if they reach their 'timeout' almost at the same time.

If they are from the same manufacturer, (and specifically from the same batch) I'd say it's pretty high: I've had it with hard disks (the wife's HDD died, then my identical one died a few days later) and so forth.
To the point where I deliberately use different manufacturers for all of the disks in my NAS: if one fails, it's not likely that a second will go soon after - and before I can get a replacement in.

Changes are pretty high for that to happen... if there is a power surge, or other environmental issue. You might want to make sure nothing else is wrong before plugging in the new ones.

I was going to bring that up. A power surge could definitely take out both monitors at the same time (or close enough to it).

Well, in this case I'd have to agree with the man, posting pictures of people on a Twitter account can hardly be considered a real job
Not without Photoshopping the picture a little bit anyway.

I've had my house broken into, and I've had two cars stolen.
The police were ******* useless; all they did was cost me time.

I know - to a friend of mine someone broke into his house and the cops told him, referring to the thieves, "they have to make a living too!".
And a chronicle fact: a man hears thieves trying to break in, he arms his legally kept gun and shouted "I am armed: get away". The b***ards called the cops, who confiscated the gun and the gun license from the guy.
So yes, police IS useless and costly. But I dislike more all those ACAB guys who then runs to them crying for help when there's trouble.
EDIT: I can't say c o c k s as in c o c k ing a gun. It is automagically beeped!

I don't know about a proper job, there are times I would like some of those mofus to do the bloody job at hand. This morning I wasted a good two hours trying to get an answer out of the Met Police.
Me: "Has the request been dealt with?"
Plod: "You will need to speak to the case officer, let me put you through to my PC Woodentop."
Woodentop: "This case is being handled by PC Plod, let me put you through."

Sorry to hear that.
The Solution: Legalize Crime
What they should do is legalize crime. Then, the beauracrats would create all kinds of forms for the criminals to fill out and the criminals would be so busy filling out everything in triplicate that they wouldn't have time to steal other people's stuff.
I know. I know. Ingenius!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

...from Android 5.0.2 to Version 4.3 or 4.4 as the intermittent freezes, slugs, and restarts are really getting on my nerves. When it works, it's fine - but the rest of the time it sits there and does nothing at all (other than tempt me to throw it at a wall). Google: you dropped the ball on this one for the Nexus 7...
So, it's not too bad to change the OS back, but it wipes the device, as you would expect. I want to back it up first, just to make sure. A look round the internet says that Helium is the best of the "Free" backups, so I go for it. PITA to get working with PC software and drivers needed that don't seem to communicate at all, but finally I get it working.
And it'll back up fine...but I need to "buy the full version in order to restore".
Is it just me that thinks that makes this rather useless? It's got ad support anyway, so why make it a waste of time as a free version? Stupid, stupid...because it makes me less likely to buy the full product, rather than more.

We make backup daily, but never restore it - so why should you

Android is a damn good tablet / phone OS: it's just the latest version is so poor that's it's unusable in practice. I'm sure Google will sort it out - eventually - but in the meantime I'm going back to a version that works (if I can backup what I have...I'd hate to lose my Carmageddon car collection )

I have one myself, and I have never updated anything, so its probably under surveillance by Edward Snowden lookalikes. Never did try to program on it though.
