i swear sometimes when i'm trying to fix smth, my mind goes straight for that option. do we rly need a world where reboots are THE first solution? or could there be more targeted approaches depending on the issue?
>in tech support forums and even among friends, "have you tried restarting it?" seems like an automatic response before any actual troubleshooting begins.

perhaps promoting better diagnostic skills early can help. teaching people to check basic issues themselves might reduce reliance on reboots as a quick fix. or maybe there's just too much tech that requires them now?
