What I really hate is when I search for a problem I’ve seen off and on for a few years and the search results is exactly the issue im experiencing.

Great!

Only to find out after chasing that link that it was me who posted that question, 4 years ago, and it’s still unanswered.

What would be even more wild is if you edited/replied to yourself and said, "nvm figured it out"...only to later discover it and not remember what you did

I had an issue years ago with a tv and a dvd player. For whatever reason, whenever the dvd player was connected, the tv would blank out every few seconds. At some point I posted on the tv manufacturer forums. I did eventually figured out that I leave a thumb drive connected to the tv, the problem disappeared. I wanted to let people know about my work around. I got 1 result -- the forum post I had made quite a while back.

I'm pretty sure it was an HDCP issue.

This person, nay, this legend, has reached across language barriers and opened up entire new worlds to people who suffer from lacking or outdated documentation.

If you or your loved ones are afflicted by bad documentation, please voice your grievances to whatever ticket or email chain deserves to be told their documentation is absolute ass.

Yes, I can read the code API, now delete that old ass mess. If you don't want to communicate it, let someone else have those search engine results.

Ffs.
