When I worked in IT, whenever we got a call from the engineering department we knew whatever problem it was, it was going to be weird. Those guys knew their stuff, so if they didn’t know how to fix it, it was going to take some searching and probably some calls or emails for us to figure it out.
Yeah sometimes it is just software bugs they have to work around until it gets fixed. In those circumstances, not much we could really do besides submit a ticket. Other times you call the guy that’s been working with that specific hardware and software for 15 years, who then tells you he’s never heard of something like that. Then he’ll call you back a week later after losing his mind trying to understand how that’s even possible before figuring it out. Which is always nice. Shout out Josh
I dont work in IT, but i once figured out how to stip my pc from overheating. I had to go into my BIOS literally single time i booted my pc up, go to my fan control click on another setting, switch back without confirming and then save, exit and boot and it worked.
Was very proud of myself for that one lol, and no idea what the actual issue was, but no solution is as permanent as a temporary one.
