lent 16: computer moods
a few months ago, the bluetooth on my lappy stopped working.
i rebooted. i zapped the PRAM, the NVRAM, the Patrridge in a Pear Tree RAM, tried other fixes, nothing.
It wasn't a *huge* deal, but it was inconvenient. Add the fact that one of my USB ports wasn't working either and i was putting some consideration into maybe buying a new laptop. Not serious consideration, but it was a serious maybe. It became a backburner consideration because life got super hectic primarily because of nienteForte and a few other projects, but it was something i was going to reexplore over the summer.
Then, just yesterday, the bluetooth started working again. i'm fairly sure i didn't update any drivers at all since i never have automatic updates on. It just decided to do it on its own.
computers are so finnicky sometimes.
