    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.

    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)

    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.

          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.
