This was already asked, please use the search function.

I'll go ahead and lock this thread.

And the last post about it was 10 years ago, no information anywhere in sight about the actual problem, and DenverCoder9 just left the topic with a simple "oh I figured it out" WHAT DID YOU SEE?!

And hours before me, too!

Gonna be honest, I didn't even check the comments, I was browsing in the car before work.

FUCK the ARCH LINUX FORUM MAINTAINERS, IN PARTICULAR, for this.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Well, you could've just done a Google search.

That description is just pure nostalgia, I miss old message boards.

[-] alignedchaos 21 points 9 months ago

Great news! You can have that experience today on Google’s or Microsoft’s community & product forums. It’s the default response!

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I still encounter the same thing in some open-source discord servers.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

They're nostalgic to me too but I definitely don't miss them

Looking at you, Microsoft Windows support team. At least some random blog post from 10 years ago probably has the answer.

Unless the only comment is "Solved it, nevermind.", then you know you're screwed.

XKCD for everything.

But have you tried restarting your computer and reinstalling all drivers?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

bruh give us an exact list of every program you have installed and hardware in your pc and log file from your last 20 used programs before we'll even read your question. no we don't know how any of that is relevant, but we can pretend to be smarter than you by asking for it

[-] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago

What a legend.

[-] Gullible 63 points 9 months ago

I see you’ve read their sig.

I can be your angel or your devil mom how do I turn off dictation it just keeps wait is this

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

I too could have 40k posts when I made those kinds of comments

[-] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Understandable, have a nice day.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

Reincarnated into an Amazon review by email.

No joke, that shit is why reddit caught on. 2000s flat-forum culture was a complete joke. Having replies show up beneath the relevant comment, in a nice collapsible tree, was a godsend. Having pointless bullshit sorted below interesting bullshit meant you didn't need to scroll through a thousand posts just to be disappointed.
