Typical experience of a test monkey receiving new hardware: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview... .

...true story. The fucker _almost_ broke the unit. Lucky bastard...

be intuitive, geeeez

I read the manual .. I mean unless it's like a motherboard, power supply or something I've installed a thousand times.

I even briefly flipped through the little thing that came with the bicycle pedals I installed yesterday. I'm glad I did or I wouldn't have installed the washers it came with (which is weird. Most pedals don't have washers. The instructions said they were optional depending on the torque requirements for your crank).

Yup. Reading manuals is important. _Especially_ when you're dealing w/ expensive hardware that has history of being finicky w/ weird environment configurations. The manual very often contains info on how to troubleshoot.

...but, you know, people are lazy, can't be bothered reading the manual, then they ask retarded questions that had already been answered.
