    Me trying to fix all stuff from event viewer

    Me, playing around with a homelab, Linux, VMs, LLMs, distro-hopping, tweaking… No, I don’t think I will.

    I feel that in bones when talking to certain family members.

    My thing is often, it didn’t work once, so now I have to fixate on this issue potentially happening again and again (even with it may never happen again) so I have to touch it.

    If it works, then it clearly doesn’t have enough features yet. 😤

  6. Abspara

    This is a hard lesson I have learned over the years. Many setbacks by messing with stuff I didn’t need to, thinking I would improve it.

    Here’s another one. If the solution takes more effort than just dealing with it, JUST. DEAL. WITH. IT

    Me on a Saturday morning:
    “Ooh that’s interesting. There’s a BIOS update for my motherboard that came out last year”

    Me on Saturday evening:
    “Fuck sake”

  9. I can’t agree.

    If it works, figure out how to make it consistently work even if it gets touched. Tech debt because you’re afraid to change is a really reason why organizations fall behind.

    I would say instead – leave it alone until you have the time to fortify and fix it.

    The only exception is when coming into a new server room to find unlabeled servers doing who knows what.

    It was always fun turning them off to see who complained, then find this entire $2000 piece of gear is hosting a .bat file that does some critical thing for their 200 year old editorial system, which is hosted on 400 year Unix old servers.

    fuck this advice, this is the reason why 4chan etc. didn’t update shit

  12. This meme reminds me of the phrase “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” which for most people is true while if you are the one using it and have the ability to use save state or make a restore point do that as it is working

  13. A_PCMR_member

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

  14. ConceptualWeeb

    What if it could work better though?

    Wish I’d seen this before going ahead with installing 24H2. People on Reddit told me it was fine. It’s not been fine.

    That one crazy dude needs to take this to heart
