Previously, we spoke with an IT support specialist who shared a couple of insights into the crazy things technicians see on a daily basis at work. Speaking of all the crazy pictures shared on the r/TechSupportGore subreddit, Smarthawk said that “they are accurate depictions of some of the things you run into in hardware support.” He added that “some things are obviously more shocking than others,” but this is pretty much an accurate representation of reality.

Thinkpad Overheating For Some Reason

POST

Jess 2 years ago

Thinkpad is overheating even when you're not working on it -.-

95points

When asked why so many people seem to still have little idea of how technology works, Smarthawk commented: “I think that the general population is definitely getting more comfortable using technology but, no matter how confident you are, there's always moments where someone has a brainfart and breaks something.” So even for the best tech connoisseurs, faux pas happen, and they may find their baked gadgets end up on the r/TechSupportGore community.

Today r/TechSupportGore is home to 521k members, but it seems like the community never stopped growing since its creation in 2012. They aren't interested in trivial things like cracked screens or anything—just the filthiest kind of tech fails. And it doesn't seem that they're running out of things to post anytime soon.

dwasifar karalahishipoor 2 years ago

That's fine if you know how. But if it's running with no GUI, then where to go in the settings files to make it ignore the lid switch is not intuitive. It can be done - I have a couple of laptop "servers" running that way right now, with lids closed - but I can understand if someone couldn't figure it out, or had more important problems to solve.

We had this issue at my law firm. We have our server in a corner in the bookkeeper's office (bc it kept overheating in our IT boot) and a new bookkeeper didn't understand why we had a computer on that seemed to not be working bc nothing would show up on the screen when she hit the connected keyboard. (Nevermind that our server is about 3'w x 4'h! Unlike any typical PC tower...AND had a sign on it that said "DO NOT TOUCH!") So...she turned it off. Needless to say, all our attorneys and paras started freaking out in tandem. It took 10 minutes to reboot the system and get everything back online. You'd have thought someone bombed the place, the way they were all panicking.
