@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.
@evilstevie @mjd That’s dark, but relatable.

@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.

@evilstevie @meltedcheese I carry a full set of bits also, a zero *and* a one.

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.
@saltywizard @mjd yeah that would require beging able and willing to learn, same problem really

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.

@mjd Isn't fucking around & finding out the exact job of a fuzzer?

@evilstevie @meltedcheese @mjd sometimes I can fix my wife's computer problems just by walking into the room. She says her laptop is afraid of me

@ll1t the "finding out" typically implies bearing the consequences.
