I'm mad at technology right now

I'm about to tell my entire technology-dependent existence to piss up a rope.

  • My iPhone won't charge using a USB-C cable. Must use MagSafe
  • The desktop Linux machine suddenly won't find its own Bluetooth device
  • Updating Fedora on the Framework fails repeatedly
  • The Reolink phone app can't connect to the doorbell half the time
  • The laser printer randomly disappears from the network
  • Liquid Glass on Tahoe still sucks
  • I can't send email using Emacs alluvasudden
  • Torrent downloads on the Mac Mini are insanely slow, but work fine on other machines with same software/network/vpn
