Only to login and see rhat they actually didn't restart. They just said so because they think you wont find out ๐
Told somebody to restart and they just went "OK, done it" like 2 seconds later. In the HDD era.

I feel like there's a specific peak between total technical ignorance and a weary understanding of how fickle technology can be. On this peak is the height of arrogance, where you believe you've really got everything figured out. Part of learning is understanding that, yes, sometimes you really did just forget to plug the modem in.
Yep, that one where the person on the peak starts lecturing you in abstract terms about trying the simplest hypotheses and such, while you are trying to solve their problem.
I know the philosophy part that asshole is talking about, only he has no bloody clue which part is simple and which is not here.
It was a hang port on a switch in that case.
