“NASA fixes Hubble gyroscope by turning it off and on again”


Can we try that with the Leftists?

“Turn it off and on.” The first, best, tried-and-true step that any IT professional recommends.

Back in 2001 I was participating in a big software go-live and I lent my DVD player to the War Room to let them watch movies while they remediated go-live bugs and issues. After 3 days of continuous use, the DVD player started to randomly freeze scenes and/or show digital snow across the movies being played. This room of suppose it geniuses were apologizing to me profusely for breaking my DVD player and I asked him if they were smart enough to unplug it. They said they hadn't and I proceeded to follow my own advice and fixed the problem. That's when I said to him “that's why make the big bucks.” mic-dropped the remote, and walked out.

Anything that runs software and has chip memory will: eventually experience memory leaks that eventually consume enough resources that it choke off the ability to run, experience an error or exception that sends t down a processing rabbit hole, or some other issue that locks it up entirely.
