huh some how that clip got blocked in the few minutes you posted it haha, but I remember that part now, I really should rewatch it, I made this meme some time ago and never posted it. thanks!
I was almost at the point earlier of asking someone if they could help with a wifi card issue, but so glad I don't have to now. I always feel like I always bungle something up whenever I try to explain what my problem is and/or paste any logs or whatever is needed to help, so I relate to this meme.
Thank goodness for ethernet and my ability to realize I need to add that ethernet connection as a new internet connection. Now I can have internet access and be able to use it to research a card that not only fits, but also works with linux.
Haha good work! It's good to have fall backs, I'm currently using my phone as a wifi hotspot connected to my computer via USB for an internet connection because I didn't want a wifi motherboard and my old cheap mesh network set I thought was not secure enough to keep using
I mean, it could most definitely be better, but I really don't think that it's worse on Linux. Error handling is one of the hard problems in computer science in general.
And well, at least you do get easy access to logs and error messages on Linux, which makes it infinitely better in many ways, but is also at least partially why this post exists.
On Windows or such, you'd instead put a vague description into a search engine and hope someone had the same symptoms before...

Yeah, lol. At least the log says things that might be vaguely useful. Instead of some Windows app that tells you Something went wrong :( and that's all you get.

You only get the phone call if you're on ARM.

This makes me want to rewatch it again too. Especially season 3!
Maybe Mike knows
Don't call us, we'll call you

Come on, give 'em some slack 🤣 aaaaaaah I needed this laugh. Thanks.

So what we're saying is that the Linux developer community is generally bad at writing log messages and error descriptions.

The "fixes" on Windows are always
Step 1) Run antivirus
Step 2) sfc /scannow
Step 3) reinstall Windows
Hey, that's not true!
::: spoiler Tap for spoiler You also run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" on step 2. :::

*Microslop
At least MSVC has a number for every diagnostic that you can search.
