Layer 8 Issue, ID-10-T error, but that last one is becoming to common to safely use.

Faulty carbon unit
PICNIC (Problem In Chair, Not In Computer) or PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

I really like faulty carbon unit, I haven't heard that one before XD

[-] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

Sounds like something an AI would say.

[-] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 9 points 7 months ago

I think I might start having to use PICNIC.

[-] DABDA@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

It sounds innocuous when used conversationally too so it's less likely to be picked up as derogatory.

B: "Nah, that was a PICNIC to troubleshoot."
