  THIS is your big “You won’t believe what happened to me…” story???

  sigh

  When I was 14, I took the power cord for the original PS1 and shaved the rubber off the end until metal prongs were sticking out. Then I noticed if the outlet end was plugged in, and you touched the metal prongs on the other end, you couldn’t drop it. It would electricute you, but it would also stick to your skin for 5-10 seconds as it electricuted you.

  So being a 14 year old male, I did the only logical thing. I put it on my penis.

  It was quite shocking!

    I used to stick forks in the electrical outlets.

    Now I post Linux memes.

    I…can’t tell what is happening here. Is he having an orgasm? Is he supposed to be a priest, or a slave?

  I would assume that was a kernel issue.

    In this case it was a driver holding that thread captive and making an assumption about the hardware eventually responding to a request which never completes.

    So yes indeed it was the kernel, and ideally the driver could be written better, but the reality is that’s probably easier said than done when the hardware can do weird things.
