Or when you’re having a problem with a piece of accounting software that nobody has ever had, so you call in for phone support, and they’ve never had it, but they can reproduce it on their side, find a solution, and thank you very much for letting them know.
Ohh I had a similar experience with a quite big open source project (~10k stars on GitHub). Posted an issue, it’s obscure enough even the lead maintainer comes in to help and still got stuck unable to fix the issue.
Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ
Hate it when I search an issue and the only other person with the same problem is me 5 years ago and I didn’t figure it out then either.
This issue has been closed as off topic

The other issue was closed as off topic.
They were both closed as duplicate
“I’ll upload a patch later this week” 12 years ago
The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.
aww you beat me to it.
Is it the denvercoder one?
checks
That’s it.
I think it’s worse when they say they found a solution and include a link which is now dead.
With Google dropping its archive I feel like dead links are going to be more and more common.
Even worse in my opinion is when you find someone who had the same problem as you and the only person who replies says “use google.” It’s like that’s how I got to this page!
The worst is when they say they’ve found a solution, without adding any information or elaborating further. Makes me want to flip my desk.
I hate the ones that are just “open a case” and then they close the thread without saying what the fix ended up being, looking at you Veeam forums.
So many of my searches lead to Microsoft forums where my exact issue is posted, MS asks for more information, then some auto-mod closes the issue because there wasn’t any further follow up and they can’t replicate it.
And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”
Every. Damn. Time.
Or all the documentation/answers conflict with each other so now you have to play Russian Roulette with your project/system. Yes I am still salty about the hyprland nvidia page that kept me up between 2-6am EDT and confused for 13hrs. I trust the Arch and EndeavourOS wikis more for general OS stuff now tbh. For programming I like the specific documentation by the devs of their respective programming languages. If I need help: Google, Discord, Reddit, Forums or StackOverflow
For context go read: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Nvidia/
Im finding this more prevalent now as ai can answer a lot of the questions hence other people are getting solutions without the need to ask. Then my ai has problems cos it googles the answer and has to make shit up and idk if its hallucinating or not.
Somebody has to be the first one.

User error
I find if I’m the only one on the internet having a problem unless it’s a very specific niche application I’m probably doing something fundamentally wrong in my approach and should try figure out how other people normally do it
It is usually this for me as well. I’m misunderstanding something or I completely looked over a basic thing.
Neiche application like old industrial equipment. Sure 90% of it is well documented and properly sourced. Still there’s always that one piece of equipment purchasing got because it was cheap with no documentation and just a safety placard from the 90s. Regardless it needs to be integrated and you bet your ass no one has ever searched that. Then you’re back to basics, sometimes even BASIC.
You are not the only one, trust me. Google just went to shit in the last years, so it’s harder to find what you are looking for.
Kagi is a payed search engine service that has worked well for me so far
Yes that is what I thought too. Google is still good for looking up movies and games and such, but for tech stuff and shopping it has noticably declined.
I’m currently trying out the first 300 free searches with Kagi. It’s only been a day but it’s already looking like I’m going to subscribe.
Remember when you got good at Google and you started to notice that you could find what you needed better than most other people? It’s a bit like that and it’s refreshing.
How does it compare to other meta search engines that are free?
You’ve just made me realize I haven’t really evaluated any others.
IIRC Startpage is one of them? I might have used that once a long while ago but I can’t say I’ve given the others a fair shake yet.
I like SearXNG
For testing, do you just use one of the listed public instances? I guess ultimately it would be best to self-host.
Yes and yes!
I find it more frustrating when someone has already had the issue and received an answer, but unfortunately the solution is a link to a Microsoft forum that no longer exists.
I never noticed the body pillow in the corner.
Common misconception, you actually did.
I have this exact problem.
Edit: nvm, found the solution
You’re just the worst, you know that?
Found the answer to this here
I am so tempted to buy the domain just to make it redirect to a rick roll

The moment I find something even remotely useful for a problem I faced and solved, I am saving it on the Internet Archive.
And I try to not be DenverCoder9Thank you for your service o7
I rely on Internet archive a hell of a lot
Trying my best.
If you want to help save anything, maybe participate with the rest of us: http://warrior.archiveteam.org/
If you have a spare PC/docker container you only require an internet connection and electricity. And it may save some picture or reddit post/guide/advice for the folks in the future. :)

What if the answer is there but google refused to include it in your search results until you saw enough ads?
Stfu! Don’t give them ideas!
Someone patent this so we can sue anyone who tries this shit
‘Drink verification can’
I have a strong suspicion that’s already happening.
Just post that the answer is simple:
can (root; split) for - 1 =sam if (all “null”) then (n = n+1)
Watch the rage answers roll in.
