unplug it, then pulg it back in
Everyone agrees that manufacturers suck at manufacturing reliable products. They primarily produce equipment that constantly needs attention. If one were to buy enough products, they would spend most their day reseting all of the things. Thankfully we only use a small fraction of what we buy, unused products will happily wait to be reset, no worry about them catching fire or exploding, probably. Top scientists have recently discovered that 16% of our lives is spent turning things off then on again. While this is not a majority of our lives, one might possibly be able to recover this somewhat unproductive time, for free.
