Yup - IT101. If something isn’t working, restart the process. If that doesn’t work, restart the system.

And if THAT doesn’t work, escalate.

If you’re the highest person, just burn it all down and walk away.

Blaming ISPs and hosts is rule number #1 and #2 of base level IT.

Nah, it’s all about versioning.

What? You’re still using 7.6.9? You should be running 7.7.1 or it’ll never work.

I always remember to throw the mouse around a bit while mumbling and then reinstall Adobe Reader on our Mirotik routers.

No see you have to use 7.1.1 but some of the 7.7.1 libraries have to be included so you ACTUALLY have to compile it from source on every machine.

Or burn it all to the ground.
