I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.

A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.

Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!

But the display on the control read "18"

Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.

@TechConnectify I wonder the same, but I've started to feel like it's a composite skill. You need to learn things like puzzle solving and maybe enjoying puzzles, learning how to break down a problem into its parts, as generic things. Some of these can be instilled early-on, and some more direct. I think largely though just giving people problems and the like that involve critical thinking skills of any topic are a start, and building that sense of "I can do".

Either that or it's as simple as "more parents need to buy Legos for their kids".

It's funny how I've seen multiple people talking about how Microsoft Recall doesn't take pictures of DRM media, as if this was a conscious decision the Recall team made, and not just a natural consequence of how screenshots already work on modern windows.

@foone I'm still not entirely sure how OBS seems to be able to show Firefox Netflix unless it's just at a lower protection level than other methods, but it can

I was copying a Totally Legal Game Backup onto my roommate's switch and it confused Windows so much that it told me I had the wrong floppy diskette in the drive.

@foone Are you using FAT32 or exFAT? Ran into a TON of issues with that happening on exFAT with the Switch specifically for some reason D:

I just saw a job listing for a company doing "home defense using AI and non-lethal deterrence"

The company's name? Sauron.

    I have apparently developed a knack for going on a grocery run and loading my fridge up with stuff juuuuust before it hits a defrost cycle.

    It's happened like three times this year!

    @TechConnectify "slurpy hissy sounds" aka "what the hell is it doing is it summoning a demon???"

    @TechConnectify Mine makes these concerning groaning noises, as in if I heard person making those groaning sounds verbally, I'd be rather concerned.

    This definitely hasn't contributed further to "is someone in my apartment??" fear at all, no.
