Most problems are being solved by turning it off and on again.
The navy manual for troubleshooting equipment in the field includes "lift 3-6 inches and drop"
Percussive maintenance can help sometimes. It's not a permanent fix but you can't always do the right fix in the middle of the ocean. Things it can help with: dislodging debris in mechanical components, reseating electrical connections that are corroding, and making yourself feel better.
To be fair, you may not always want a permanent fix for everything. Mostly because the most permanent solution will always be a temporary one. :v
High velocity decommissioning also satisfies that last item.
What? Did I turn it off and on again? I’m a very smart technology person, of course my big brain already thought of that. I develop software for a living. It couldn’t be that simple or I wouldn’t be calling you.
. . .
Turning it off and on again worked. My shame is immense and I have wasted everybody’s time.
(And that is how I learned to embrace my own idiocy and do the recommended, simple troubleshooting tasks without questioning them.)
Dude, I just had my mechanic call and tell me my car was out of oil. I've never felt so dumb and ashamed.
Well it didn't work, my grampa is still sleeping, i'll try the unplug for several minutes trick, I'll let you know
Try a force restart....or there is always the possibility that he is stuck in a boot loop
And if that doesn't work unplug it for a while and plug it back in.
I have anxiety and depression. Gonna give your idea a try.
isn't that what they are researching with psilocybin? I could use that big time to reset my head. I have severe health anxiety.
A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don't break
This is a funny joke and all but it's so far from actually true.
