    I accidentally factory reset a VFD, which has hundreds of configurable options, and only by the grace of potato-quality tech youtubers, I was able to find a small handful of configs to make it work again.

      Sounds like the same guy who taught me how to tear-down and clean my lawnmower’s carburetor. Appreciate that man

    Thank you to the 2 minute video that helped me prove to my boyfriend that tidepods do not belong in the washing machine’s soap container. …. And for informing me that I should have been putting them in first and not on top. 😅
