I myself had this problem with my monitor when I first bought it. It has weird touch buttons instead of normal buttons, I plugged it into the computer and kept hitting the power button and it wouldn’t come on. I was getting annoyed that it was broken… Then I realized I only plugged it into the computer and forgot the freakin’ power cable.

I can top this.

I was running hackintosh along side others OSes. Keep in mind it was working fine until it wasn’t. So this hackintosh one day started having a problem. After some time of inactivity, the monitor would sleep. Once it did, it wouldn’t come back up. Only a reboot would help. Eventually I thought it was incompatible with the DVI output since I saw similar hackintosh issues online. I bought a new monitor that would support display port. When I was disconnecting everything I notice that the DVI port wasn’t fully plugged in. 🤦‍♂️

My Monitor used to turn off randomly for no reason. Until I noticed it turned off every time my mini fridge kicked in, move mini fridge plug to a different wall port and issue resolved.

Make sure you aren’t overloading your wall sockets people!

  I learned 3 things very quickly in one evening:
  
  My cheap electric razor throws a ton of noise onto whatever electrical circuit it’s plugged into
  
  How to sort out ZFS filesystem errors
  
  That the bathroom socket I plug my razor into and the plug across the house that the main desktop is plugged into happen to be on the same electrical circuit
  
  So that’s fun!

This reminds me. At work, I’ve had to help during rapid consultation procedures for surgeon while they are performing a surgery. It involves you cutting tissue with a very sharp blade within this specialized machine.

Well one day I am cutting and cutting and I just can’t get anything to work. It’s making a mess and fucking everything up.

I look down and realize I didn’t even put the blade on the machine lmaooo. I was trying to cut with blunt metal. What a goober move.

Brain farts happen!
