kradeelavhad a funny-in-hindsight-annoying-in-the-present moment where BOTH my ear (implant) and laptop keyboard didn't work there for a hot minute and it was like all of my devices were playing a bad prank on me on monday morning.
thankfully it got sorted quickly with mom's help and both of us debugging swiftly; imagine two people with the personalities of ER techs triaging All The Things calmly in my bedroom first thing XD
or if you prefer the greentext version:
> be me, groggy af on a monday because i stayed up way too late drawing
> ear doesn't work
>> ahfuckherewegoagain.gif [wide awake now, a RARITY lol]
> [mom's helping me by this point] 'ok let's try the other battery' doesn't work
> hmm parts issue, so mom takes out the implant box where i have five million backups in and starts switching in a backup cord
> 'maybe it's the cord' doesn't work
> 'hm ...guess it's time to call the audiologist and get a speed dial appointment for further debugging'
> try to bang in an email while she's switching in the next part on our mental list
> LAPTOP KEYBOARD doesn't work
>> mentally: (╯'□')╯︵ ┻━┻
> 'this is why you have backups i guess..' grab the new laptop i literally just backed up three days ago lol
> mom's switched out the magnet disk/(coil)
> THANKFULLY THAT WORKS
> laptop reboot is also finishing and it works too.
;;;orz
thankfully i was not like, full five alarm Worried because things had been humid recently and if it does go out, 90% of the time it's a humidity issue playing havoc on the individual lil' parts. (that said that's still pretty rare; i'd say the coil/cable part goes out maybe once every three-six years? and those are by far the usual culprits.)
anyway, a moment in the life of krad XD
