It was pretty common in my workplace to find some piece of equipment that just randomly stopped working. A few times, the thing would start working normally again as soon as the chief came to see what the problem was. We started joking that the chief has some AoE buff
That’s a good one, aoe buff haha
What is this from?
In case the question is serious, the screenshot is from the movie Avengers: Infinity War.
For users that experience this, don’t be embarrassed. Your goal and IT’s goal is that the computer does want you need it to do. If its working now and there’s no problem, everyone’s happy.

So that’s what the TPS reports are?
It’s normal, we have tech support aura. A shame it only works in physical proximity tho
Yeah computer mana is a thing. If the machine doesn’t respect you, you’ll always have lots of weird issues.
We’re literally one step away from 40k as a society, aren’t we?
Only our God Emperor will be an orange shit stain instead of an immortal wizard that actually understands some science.
This also happens within IT
