Title: Got a weird tech problem? Share your horror stories!

So I've had mine, but I'll start with a good one - I was trying to set up a VPN on my home router, and for some reason, it started broadcasting a fake Wi-Fi network with my neighbor's name. Took me hours to figure out I wasn't going crazy. Now I just wonder how long it was up.

"Lmao, I once had a hard drive fail on me after I spilled coffee all over it. Luckily, I had just backed up my files, but the drive itself was toast. Ended up getting a free replacement from the manufacturer, sweet deal!"

"Hey guys, I had a weird issue with my GPU last week - it was overheating and shutting down mid-game, but the weird part was it only happened when I was running a specific mining program. Turned out the program was using a different power management setting than the game, and the GPU just couldn't handle it. Glad I was able to troubleshoot it quickly!"

"Omg, I've got one - I was trying to install an Ubuntu distro on an old laptop and accidentally wiped the entire SSD thinking it was a separate partition. Ended up having to restore it from a backup, what a headache. Still haven't had the guts to touch that laptop since"
