    That happened to me a lot when I was thinking about asking for help on reddit and usually if I got to the point that I still have to ask it’s hopeless anyway. Pretty sure I only got actual help that solved a problem one time over the years.

      I had a winmodem issue on a laptop that Acer forgot they made that dogged made for 2 years. No answer available. And then one day the answer just popped up. I had to go back and find my original posts and edit them to include the solution.

        Good on you for going back to update your posts with the solution you found. The internet needs more of that.

          My tag line is “I am from the internet. I’m here to help.” It comes with certain responsibilities.
