Same as Explorer, the file browser. Once you know, it's useful as a timeout meter, i.e. it signals "how long before this device/network location is deemed unreadable".

Wouldn't an actual timeout timer be more useful, like when Ubuntu is booting/shutdowning it gives a "job is trying to complete" message and a 90s (say) timer before it ignores it and carries on.
Windows updates could use this, when it randomly decides to wait 30 minutes on startup despite not warning you and not giving a skip option.
