Sometimes, I think it's the hardware. I'll beat my head against a wall |
| 12 |
trying to fix a bug, only to giveup and shutdown. Low and behold, after |
| 13 |
a night's rest or when I come back from work, I can flip the machine back |
| 14 |
on and it works fine. On at least one occasion that was after I had |
| 15 |
repeatedly rebooted trying to fix it, too, all without success. I'm |
| 16 |
convinced that one was some capacitor saved setting or something, that |
| 17 |
wouldn't go away with a simple reboot, only when I let the machine stay |
| 18 |
off for long enough that the capacitor fully discharged, so when I |
| 19 |
restarted after letting it set for several hours, the setting was reset |
| 20 |
to machine normal and everything just "magically" worked. |
