I work in gas turbine generation and told a customer that his equipment must have been built on an ancient burial ground and by the problems that he has had that he might want to get a blessing for it. He had been having random shutdowns and trips for many days. ( it was really probably down to the mountains and lightning TBH)

When troubleshooting equipment I sometimes use "evil spirits" or "sunspots" when nothing else makes sense.
Anything to do with the internet or even your home network, I call them network gremlins. When a network wire that is not reporting any errors can be replaced to fix packet loss or file sharing issues is wild to me.

Let's explain this comment.
The people who upvoted this post and not post anything are *ssholes that contributes nothing to society. /s
Not for something that happened, but still a weird explanation :
I tried once to compare in lenght what it feels like to wake up amnesiac and trapped in a Portal like game system, to explain the parallel threads of a GPU, for a technical article at work.
Thank f*ck one of my coworkers kindly told me it was a terrible idea, before making it public to the whole company.

@CosmicSploogeDrizzle Ok, I will remind you on Saturday Jul 8, 2023 at 6:27 PM PDT.
No fucking way, this thing is already here?
It's a mastodon bot, but due to federation it works with lemmy also. Gotta love the fediverse.

Computers had problems with installing. Best explanation was 'its Thursday'... After a lot of troubleshooting it became evident that some people installed laptops withouth the powersupply plugged in, causing bitlockerissues.
