      Told somebody to restart and they just went “OK, done it” like 2 seconds later. In the HDD era.

      Turns out they just turned the monitor on and off. 👍

      I feel like there’s a specific peak between total technical ignorance and a weary understanding of how fickle technology can be. On this peak is the height of arrogance, where you believe you’ve really got everything figured out. Part of learning is understanding that, yes, sometimes you really did just forget to plug the modem in.
