This is currently happening to me and I hate it.
Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.
Same, started having issue with a docking station on my laptop with 6.7. It’s so niche to my configuration that finding an answer has proven impossible. Now I need to reboot every time I plug in my dock or else I have no external monitors.
THAT is very shitty. My problem is that after using it for a bit apps start freezing for a split second all the time. Most notable is firefox. The frequency and duration of them increase steadily. Then opening a new program might freeze the system fully (or wait minutes/hours until it unfreezes). It has something to do with memory allocation “according to” dmesg.
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.
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.

Closed as a duplicate of another issue.
The other issue was closed as off topic.
They were both closed as duplicate
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!
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.
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.

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.
Don’t worry, this just means your job is safe from being replaced by AI. No search results means no training data.
So so so much worse when the comment is deleted and OP replies “thanks!”
OP: “Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks anyway.” and doesn’t share what they did drives me up the wall.
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
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.
It is usually this for me as well. I’m misunderstanding something or I completely looked over a basic thing.
Anime source?
Edit: nvm, found it.
Actual edit: Apparently I’m slow with the joke. K-On! Manga about high school music club.
I never noticed the body pillow in the corner.
Common misconception, you actually did.
When you search*
Usually it means you’re doing something terribly wrong.
Or the only person who phrases your issue this way) so many times I’ve found out that I just state my problem in an unusual way
That’s one area where LLMs can come in handy. If you describe something, they can usually come out with what you were thinking about in another, maybe more correct way, then you search what they gave you
But have you tried askjeeves?
I play the numbers… When this happens to me I assume I’m asking the wrong question
Sometimes asking the right question is the hard part
That’s actually good advice
You describe your problem in the forum.
Moderator: “use Google, there is an answer to your question”
Google only gives you a link to your own thread in the forum.
for me when that happens, it usually turns out to be a simple but stupid mistake on my end
