I have a project coming out for public beta test soon and I thought that now would probably be a good time to share 10 RULES of TECH SUPPORT!

MY PERSONAL TECH SUPPORT RULES ANYWAY.

(Please Read Before Speaking)

Rule one: the computer did exactly what you told it to do, not what you meant. It is not psychic. It is not creative. It is aggressively literal and has no emotional attachments to you..

Rule two: the documentation exists for a reason. Skipping it and asking for help is like ignoring the map, driving into a lake, and calling to complain about the water.

Rule three: “It doesn’t work” is not useful information. That is a feeling. Feelings are valid. They are not diagnostic.

Rule four: when I am explaining something, this is not a discussion. This is the part where you stop talking and listen. Questions are welcome after the explanation, not during the sentence you interrupted.

Rule five: something changed. It always does. The system did not wake up this morning and choose chaos. You, time, or physics touched it. Figure out which.

Rule six: support cannot fix what you refuse to describe. If you changed something “small” and didn’t mention it, congratulations—you have just doubled the troubleshooting time.

Rule seven: urgency does not make you right. Saying “this is critical” does not rewrite reality; it just raises everyone’s blood pressure.

Rule eight: software does not include common sense. That must be provided by the user. If a warning says “don’t do this” and you do it anyway, the outcome is not mysterious.

Rule nine: if you ignore instructions, you own the result. This is not punishment. This is cause and effect.

Rule ten: If the source code tells you not to do something, there is a valid reason. Disobey at your own peril.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Please RTFM again.

Hi everyone,

Great workshop today at Cool School! We were so glad to see those “aha!” moments happening throughout the session. We missed a few of our regulars who couldn’t make it, whether feeling under the weather or helping out family members, but no worries!

We’ve put together a two-part video recap that walks through exactly what we covered today. It’s always great to join a workshop live, but these videos are a perfect way to catch up (and you don’t even have to take notes!).

Thanks again for your participation and enthusiasm. We really appreciate it!

🔥 MORNING BREAKFAST SHOW – THURSDAY-22 JANUARY ’26

🔥 BANANA STAGE
• AMV GRID • 6 AM GRID TIME

Wake up the grid with noise, nostalgia, and zero apologies.

At 6 AM sharp, DJ Yana Dakota storms the Banana Stage with a playlist that refuses to behave, oldies that punch, classics that bite, and a final half hour that kicks the morning door wide open.
This isn’t your grandma’s breakfast music.
This is coffee with attitude, sunshine with swagger, and a soundtrack that refuses to let you start the day half‑asleep.

If you want safe and quiet, stay in bed.
If you want energy, rebellion, and a blast of pure retro power, get your pixels to the Banana Stage.

🍌 AMV Grid – Main Landing Point → Banana Stage
⏰ 6 AM Grid Time

Rückkehr der Rock-Giganten: Die Hollywood Vampires touren 2026 durch Deutschland

Die Supergroup, bestehend aus den Rock-Ikonen Alice Cooper und Joe Perry sowie dem Hollywood-Star Johnny Depp, wird im Rahmen ihrer kommenden Europa-Tournee auch drei exklusive Arena-Shows in Deutschland absolvieren.

Tin Machine

Ende der 1980er Jahre befand sich David Bowie an einem künstlerischen Wendepunkt.
Nach dem massiven kommerziellen Erfolg von „Let’s Dance“ und den eher zwiespältig aufgenommenen Nachfolgealben verspürte er den Drang,
die glitzernde Welt des Pop hinter sich zu lassen.
Er suchte nach einer Möglichkeit, sich wieder als Teil eines Kollektivs zu fühlen,
anstatt als einsame Ikone im Rampenlicht zu stehen. ...
