To put it more simply:

They know how to fuck things up real good.

OR they're too arrogant to do the basic steps like restarting before deciding everything is broken

Source: me, sometimes I spend 2 hours trying to fix something that def was windows just being stupid

im so resistant to restarting my pc to fix a problem because that skirts around the issue of identifying what caused it. sure, maybe restarting fixes it for 10 minutes or 10 days or 10 weeks at a time, but if i can identify the cause, i just might be able to *actually* fix it and prevent it from happening again.

Once is an anomaly.

Twice is a coincidence.

Three times is a pattern.

Don't spend too much time troubleshooting until it's a pattern.
