If it works, tear it apart to see how it works. Then try to put it back together, fail, and get high. Eat a full bag of Sweet Heat Doritos and fall asleep on the couch, watching Teen Titans GO!

Not touching things just because they work will eventually give you security problems.

I will find it, and I will touch it

Are you even an enthusiast if you don’t break perfectly working systems ?

This is peak advice

cursing at and threatening electronic devices with physical violence makes fixing them easier

It is called “maintainance”.
I strongly recommend that you take part in some preventive and predictive maintainance every now and then.

Now now, if you know just the right way to touch it then it aand its broken.

Updating, or replacing a system; “this code looks like a bug”, but it might be a feature…

Currently, i have ram slot or mother board problem in my PC. In my PC if I connect more than 1 RAM the system get stuck in boot loop or auto repair loop. I have 2 16GB and 2 8GB Ram’s but currently I connected with 1 16GB RAM in my PC. All my RAM’s are working fine in other system.
The entire day I tried to fix this by trying different combinations and placing RAMs in different slots. Still, nothing worked then after 24 hrs I just connectected 1 RAM and started my PC this time it moved after automatic repair and I restored my PC to previous state (not sure this is needed) but anyway my PC is running now with 1 16GB RAM. I am afraid to touch it and I dont want to spend money on another motherboard right now.

And thus, technical debt was created
Typical “I gotta clean the PC. Done. Shit, it doesn’t turn on anymore” afterthought lmao
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

And pray for the team that has to touch it whenever it is no longer working
tell this to all the new linux users

I heard this called the Stiff Dick Policy.
If it’s up, and you want it to stay up, don’t fuck with it.
As a car guy and PC guy this is the truth.
Till it’s about security, reducing operational cost or upgrading to a new cluster…
I disagree. Sometimes you do have to touch things (log4j fiasco, spectre mitigations, etc)
“i’m gonna restart the prod server for good measure. Uptime is more than 300 days, a restart will do good’
– 20 minutes later
“why can’t I ping it? it should’ve come back by now”
It’s a bit of a cheat because this one work with everything.
My mobo works fine but i wanna update the bios so bad 😭
Next card: “Have you restarted it?”
