Have You Tried Turning It Off And Turning It On Again?
Tuesday, February 20, 2018 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just found an obscure relative of mine looks after a 'moderately' powerful computer....on call 24/7.
A 'Cray'.
Kinda somewhere between amused and worried when he laughed at an IT Crowd reference....

For 'obscure' read....wife's mother's brothers' daughter's husband....
I think that makes it a 'cousin' [but really a prick-relative].
Technically, no. Well not to you, at least.... meaning you don't have to feel obliged to do relatives rates next BSOD.
That turning it off and on again thing is part of iinet's advice before you bother tech support. First it's 'turn off your modem for 30 seconds', and if that don't work, 'try rebooting your PC'.
Then you get: "It's amazing how often this will work to fix connection issues"
In the past I've often found that to be the case, but I'm not finding that to be the constant with the NBN. Yeah, I got fibre to the premises, but the NBN [using all it's delivery methods] has suffered drastically since Turnbull's cock-eyed take on it messed up the original concept, very much against expert advice and borked it for everyone.
Guess that's what you get when a clueless idiot is put in charge of communications.

so he didn't have to re-learn an interface whilst pushing 90.
I've seen him thru XP, Vista, 7, and 10. I spared him 8.

Silly bugger thought the solution to his father in-law's BSOD was to give him a Mac.....
Nope....I instead revived his BSOD box so he didn't have to re-learn an interface whilst pushing 90.
