    “have you tried swtching it off and on again” solves 90% of support requests - at least for a little while ;-)

      It solves virtually none of them, it is pretty good at destroying all the evidence needed to actually fix the problem for good though.

        I don’t have 40 hours to dedicate to a single error message that pops up only on Tuesdays during a full moon and Jeff just needs to print his stupid report.

        wait, your phone doesn’t switch on to ring alarms? i thought all smartphones do that. all androud phones i have do. they don’t do a full boot, just sound an alarm and show options to fully start, snooze or end the alarm

        I learned that some brands don’t implement that feature. For example: Samsung does not, but Honor does.

          I have never heard of that feature. If I turn my phone off before going to bed, it’s because I want it to not ring the alarm at the usual time. Telling it to turn off makes it do a complete shutdown. What you’re describing would require some sort of hibernate mode.

    While true and they have a point…

    With having to do a restart after installing major programs the headline sounded like it’s from a satire site for an article about NSA snooping.

    Like, they just did an update and now we all need to reboot lol

      I mean this has been a cybersecurity best practice forever. If anything, it’s someone at the NSA having a chuckle knowing how the cynics will react to something which is barely a step above common sense.
