minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•10 days agoHad a dvd player that would skip all the time even if it was a brand new dvd. Got pissed off and threw it at the wall. Girlfriend plugged it back in a couple hours later and it never skipped again.
minus-squareLv_InSaNe_vLlinkfedilink10•10 days agoI did this with a google home mini. I could not get it to work correctly, got mad, threw it at a wall, and put it in a box. A few months later I found it, plugged it in, and it works perfectly. Except the strange rattle if you shake it haha
