2025

I have quite a few sites where some Unifi U6+ Access Points fail to upgrade with a generic update failed message.

Marquis WiFi Vergaderruimte 4 update failed.

I've tried everything, from ssh'ing, factory resetting with set-default, to manually upgrading with upgrade, etc.

Nothing worked. I thought I had a bunch of bad APs (and many had their warranty expire by a few weeks or months).

As a last resort, I decide to reach out to Ubiquiti's support. First line wasn't very helpful, but as the case was escalated, I've managed to recover and properly update the APs.

This version has a mistake somewhere, but still worth seeing.

They remade the video:

We’ve heard much about the slide into oligarchy – and with good reason: the members of the US cabinet’s collective worth is reportedly close to half a trillion dollars, with the majority of them belonging to the top 0.0001%.

But journalist Ken Klippenstein offers a better term that captures our current moment with uncomfortable precision. He calls it the ‘appistocracy’ – a ruling class whose power extends far beyond mere wealth.
