back

I wouldn’t call myself a tech expert. I’m more of what is sometimes called a prosumer. But I know enough that friends and family often rely on me for light tech support.

As any experienced tech would, the first thing I do in most cases is just turn off the offending device, feature, or program, and then turn in back on again.

As I doubt I have to tell hn, that solves a great number of issues, but you rarely know why. The person I’m helping will ask what exactly was wrong in the first place, and generally all I can say is: “Dunno, something must have glitched.”
