I finally got why some repairs take forever to diagnose
I was stuck on a weird network issue at a small office for hours. The internet kept dropping but all the cables and router tests came back fine. Then it hit me, I forgot to check the simple stuff like a loose power strip under a desk. Sure enough, one of the network switches was plugged into a strip that was half out. Now I always start with the physical connections before diving into software. It sounds basic, but it saves me from overcomplicating things. My work days are way less frustrating since I made that change.
