    I wish I was technically savy enough to do any of this.

    Unfortunately I am cursed, I break shit and hate having to spend hours working out what’s fucked on my computer.

    TV’s wifi card shit itself, problem solved pulled out replaced.

    Computer wouldn’t boot cause reason number 432 (actually the flash on the MB said fault reserved for future fault finding) hours of struggling.

      Perhaps you’re a bogon emitter like my wife?

      Charles Stross put it succinctly in The Atrocity Archives:

      Idiots emit bogons, causing machinery to malfunction in their presence. System administrators absorb bogons, letting machinery work again.

      This explains why computers suddenly start to work when help arrives. Becoming a bogon sink takes much suffering and practice. You’re already on the path.
