When Tech Constantly Fails You – How Do You Mentally Reset?-Forum-Culture Informatique

Sometimes, no matter how much you research or spend, tech just keeps letting you down. I recently had a terrible run with an electric scooter — multiple controller failures, constant returns, and more time dealing with shipping than actually using the product. Super frustrating.

It got me thinking: how do you reset your brain after these kinds of tech headaches?

For me, oddly enough, it’s jumping into something equally frustrating but weirdly meditative — like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy. Even better with a Getting Over It Hack, where the added challenges or tweaks actually help me let go of the real-life stuff. It’s ironic, but it works.

What about you? When your tech fails, what helps you not throw it all out the window?
