@nicolas17 @gudenau @marcan I wrote a kiosk application in Electron that ran on a windows 11 system. The network would go down on a power outage about 200ms before the power that ran the system failed. That was enough time to stop writing data.

@stepheneb @nicolas17 @marcan That's pretty wild, but it's also very situation dependent.

@gudenau @nicolas17 @marcan I was getting random corruption because my app updated persistent state when the network changed state. These were kiosks with large touchscreens in science museums. Took a while to debug this remotely because the network changing state occurred much more often than the power being randomly cut.

@gudenau @nicolas17 @marcan there was an deterministic ordering for which systems shut down first and lucky for my needs the network shut down first.
