A book with the title "I didn’t touch the computer, it just stopped working And Other Hilarious Jokes you Can Tell Someone from the IT Department.
To be fair, on my work computer, 99% of my issues are related to botched updates running in the background without my knowledge, consent, or input.
Sketchy CMD scripts run in the background, all the fans spin up, then the drivers just randomly give up and bring the whole system down with it.
100% of the issues on my personal system are self inflicted.
I take responsibility for ~2% of the issues on my work system.

Congrats on having 101% of your issues :)
100% of the issues on my personal system are self inflicted.
Are you one of those “No backup, no mercy”-folks? /j
Not an IT, a friend onced told me their phone was getting hot and draining battery fast from last night. Naturally I asked if they installed any new apps or changed settings couple of times and the answer was clear no.
I checked the apps list and saw an obviously sus app (might be miner). I asked from when they had that app and they said ‘why? I installed it last night’.
That was the kind of app you get clicking ‘horny milves in your area’ ads.
MILVES?
Man I Love Vaginas & Erectile Semen?
Hard to keep up with these acronyms these days…
😂🤣
milves
Mother I Like (very extra sexy)
Pretty sure the plural of MILF is MILFs
My mom complained that her phone drains the battery from 100 to 20 in like 5 hours. I asked if she had installed something stupid, answer was obviously a no. Checked her apps and there was some gif keyboards and emoji keyboards and at least 3 different mirror apps and all kinds of garbage…
“It was working yesterday!” Is my favourite.
Things usually are working right before they stop working.
Why is it that cars breaking down has been normalised as just the natural behaviour of vehicles and then you ask the mechanic for help but computers break down and people act like IT personally came into your office to take a piss through the vent directly onto the motherboard?
Can confirm, my home desktop more or less died while I was at work. I’d leave it running 24/7, as I had it set up as something of a simple server for a couple things, namely a remote desktop virtual machine.
So yeah, I didn’t touch it when it failed.
Cause: Bad capacitors and a failed chipset fan.
I had a GPU fan losing one blade while gaming, once. Made loud ricochet and clang sounds in the PC and then a loud humming (from the remaining off center fan). Really scary. I shut it down and found the blade sitting at the bottom, but it didn’t break anything else. I replaced the whole GPU cooler and it worked for years. Never had this again, but sometimes things just break.
My chipset fan literally rusted internally, from Mississippi air humidity. I do have a brand new fan and brand new replacement capacitors, but I still need to pick up a new PSU.
My desktop has been down for like 8 years, but I do all my own resoldering and other work, so it’s really just a matter of laziness.
I’ve been doing just fine with my 2 laptops for years, so I guess I’ll get to my desktop whenever I feel bored enough.
