I occasionally recount how once, at a very modern company, we had trouble with an HDMI cable.
Several "hardware" people came to assist and finally the expert was called.
Upon entering the room he asked: "have you turned the cable around?"
I looked at him with that particular look I reserve for total idiots and asked him whether he were joking.
They turned the cable around, and I could begin my presentation.
I fail to understand what y'all are doing to this world.
