#personal computer

It has been over two decades, but I am still haunted by the memory of a classmate in 2008 who, upon realizing their laptop was frozen, said with utmost confidence "i am going to do a hard reset," flipped it over, and peeled the battery straight out the back.

Had to reinstall my Linux computer because a bad update and goofing off caused functionality to break. Spent hours getting everything back online and ready to go. It went much smoother than last time I had to reinstall (which was a hardware failure)
