A COMPUTER CANNOT FIND OUT
THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO FUCK AROUND
@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.
@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.
@mjd @evilstevie @meltedcheese
That's a good idea. You can never find one when you need it.
@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 😆😅
@Avner @evilstevie @mjd That is a useful superpower if the #AI uprising occurs.
@meltedcheese @Avner @evilstevie @mjd During an AI uprising, you could also crash surveillance drones by forcing them to process your password hash as a control input.
@evilstevie @mjd That’s dark, but relatable.
