The other day, I was getting angry at my computer and I called it a stupid piece of shit. However, because I find that letting myself be angry and unkind to inanimate objects makes my brain a less kind place to inhabit, I try to not get angry at my devices in this way. I apologised to my computer:
"I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. Past experience has shown us that there's the most baffling errors are often down to user error anyway, so it's not productive to speak to you like that. Even if that's not the case this time, I know that you're trying your best and that you've got a lot on your plate. Most of the time, we work well together, and regardless of what the specific problem is right now, I'm not helping us to return to that by shouting at you."
Lo, the error was inexplicably solved. Is it possible that it was solved by something like a background task that finished processing while I was talking? I mean, yeah, it's almost certainly the case that the timing was the cause. However, does it also make me happy to half jokingly use this as an example of "see, this is why you should be kind to your computer"? Also yes.
You need to light some incense to get the WiFi back.
