I have this exact problem.
Edit: nvm, found the solution
You’re just the worst, you know that?

The moment I find something even remotely useful for a problem I faced and solved, I am saving it on the Internet Archive.
And I try to not be DenverCoder9Source
Thank you for your service o7
I rely on Internet archive a hell of a lot

Hate it when I search an issue and the only other person with the same problem is me 5 years ago and I didn’t figure it out then either.
I think it’s worse when they say they found a solution and include a link which is now dead.
With Google dropping its archive I feel like dead links are going to be more and more common.
I hate the ones that are just “open a case” and then they close the thread without saying what the fix ended up being, looking at you Veeam forums.
So many of my searches lead to Microsoft forums where my exact issue is posted, MS asks for more information, then some auto-mod closes the issue because there wasn’t any further follow up and they can’t replicate it.
And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”
Every. Damn. Time.
The worst is when they say they’ve found a solution, without adding any information or elaborating further. Makes me want to flip my desk.
Even worse in my opinion is when you find someone who had the same problem as you and the only person who replies says “use google.” It’s like that’s how I got to this page!

“I’ll upload a patch later this week” 12 years ago
The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.
Any one else getting this crash? Edit: Don’t worry guys I fixed it
I’ve had that happen to me in a couple of pretty obscure cases, fuck it’s irritating. “WHAT SECRET KNOWLEDGE DO YOU HOLD, YOU FUCK‽ TELL US”
I find if I’m the only one on the internet having a problem unless it’s a very specific niche application I’m probably doing something fundamentally wrong in my approach and should try figure out how other people normally do it
Neiche application like old industrial equipment. Sure 90% of it is well documented and properly sourced. Still there’s always that one piece of equipment purchasing got because it was cheap with no documentation and just a safety placard from the 90s. Regardless it needs to be integrated and you bet your ass no one has ever searched that. Then you’re back to basics, sometimes even BASIC.
It is usually this for me as well. I’m misunderstanding something or I completely looked over a basic thing.
Kinda relevant XKCD
thought about it, too!

This is currently happening to me and I hate it.
Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.

Or you can ask on SO. Then close it with “nvm, fixed”.
Or you can explain it to a SO until you realise what’s wrong yourself
A pet or rubber duck will do if you don’t have a SO handy
Or you can explain it to a SO
Yeah that’s usually the expression they end up with by the end
I play the numbers… When this happens to me I assume I’m asking the wrong question
That’s actually good advice
Sometimes asking the right question is the hard part
My favorite is when you Google a problem and many, many people have the same problem but the company has never provided a solution.
When you search*
Or: Plenty of people have the problem, but nobody has figured it out.
And: Stack Overflow agrees that this is a dumb thing to want to do, anyway.
Or it’s a bug that was reported 5 years ago with 165 votes and somehow still not fixed
time to learn assembly *cracks knuckles*
You just need to spend a few hours trying weirder and unique ways to frame the issue and you might find the answer.
More like when you Google and half the solutions you find contradict themselves, with some of the responses to the solutions discussing the dangers.
They had the answer on Yahoo! Answers. 😢
I find it more frustrating when someone has already had the issue and received an answer, but unfortunately the solution is a link to a Microsoft forum that no longer exists.
