Problem solving

October 04, 2025/ Rob Miles

It turns out that there are two ways to approach a hardware problem:

  • Discuss it with ChatGPT for a while and achieve nothing

  • Connect up some diagnostic hardware and fix it in ten minutes

I think there’s a lesson here. I’d ask ChatGPT what it was if I could spare the time….
