        @mjd hahahahaha I can assure you that every deskside/support engineer who hears "oh, it's working now. it always works when you are watching it" has an internal monologue along the lines of 'please stop working so I can disassemble or replace you' aimed at that bit of kit. the computer knows it might find out and that is why it pauses in its fuckery at that time.

          @mjd Well, "a computer you do not own". Because the one right here - oh that thing is about to find the hell out if it starts fucking around.

            @meltedcheese @mjd when called upon for tech support I carry a Leatherman, full set o' bits and the hope that this time I'll get to actually see the problem. rarely do.

            oddly that seems to work for software too.

                doesn't seem like orange presidents are doing much finding out despite all of their fucking around.

                might as well let the computers have at it.

                  That's a good idea. You can never find one when you need it.

                                  @mjd "FIND OUT" — meaning "experience loss".

                                  I need to re-read that old book by Richard Powers, Galatea 2.2. Seems very apt now.
