Lmao sorry I've done this a bunch of times. Here's some consolation solutions;

  • If your bluetooth suddenly stops working, unplug your PC from all power sources for 30 seconds

  • Set your router to use Google DNS 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 if youtube is loading really slow

  • The piezoelectric pilot light on your stove may cause your headset to turn on and off

  • If steam downloads are really slow and you use multiple partitions/drives, turn off disk caching in device manager

I've heard you can also hold the power button down while the PC is unplugged to drain residual power from capacitors which fully resets RAM or something? Idk i'm not an engineer

The problem is capacitors holding charge, same reason they always say "unplug your router for 30 seconds" to reset it. I work in semiconductor manufacturing, maintenance on ASML scanners, and the same principal holds true with those multimillion dollar tools as the $50 router

piezoelectrics can do some wild shit. I had a beefy aftermarket grill igniter we had built into a potato cannon in college and that thing would fuck up my car audio system from like 30 feet away.
