Me: Fuck. Printer won’t print this PDF. Hmm. The driver I made for PPC works. Let me see if I can port it at 4 in the morning on half-an-hour’s sleep.
Computer: Fuck you, I reject your half ass spaghetti, I won’t boot anymore.
Me: Fuck I need this computer in an hour, no time to fix (wipe, re-install, copy home directory from backup)
Computer: That home directory has a lot of stuff you shouldn’t have copied. I’m not going to resume from sleep anymore. Have a fun day.
Me: (I shouldn’t do this stuff when I don’t sleep)
Use a union printer.
(Works especially if you’re apart of an org that’s pro-labor.)
Sometimes it feels like there’s a very bored sentient AI trying to mess with anyone who knows anything about computers.
Note: Don’t ever work with bluetooth if you want to retain your sanity
uh oh. now i want to work with bluetooth. get this zigbee out of my sight!
It’s not worth it.
It somehow makes sense to them that if you write more bytes than the MTU, instead of giving you an error, the bluetooth device should just use the corrupted data. It also somehow makes sense that you should never be able to track the status of a BLE device or automatically connect to it. Instead, you have to keep trying to connect in an infinite loop until it works, which causes many issues, especially if the device in question is almost out of range. Then, it will keep connecting and disconnecting multiple times a second.
Also, sometimes it just decides it no longer wants to work and just stops, or sometimes things work on one bluetooth chipset but completely and utterly break on another. It’s a big mess made of more messes.
Don’t even get me started on the issues with every major bluetooth stack that currently exists.
