    1. Web search it
    2. Read a bunch of technical gibberish and terminal commands
    3. Type them in
    4. Some kind of generic error
    5. Go back to using my Mac

      I once had a problem with an ASUS notebook. I think it was the touchpad. So I looked in dmesg and found something like:

      “HID something something was configured with flag 1. If this is incorrect, try the command blah blah flag=0.”

      Ran the command and it was fixed.

      I’ve never seen such a beautiful error in Windows. And I really lost my respect when I tried to calibrate an external screen on a Mac because that felt like Linux from 2016.

        Yeah that’s great if you know what dmesg is and how to use it.
