Thinks
March 25, 2011
Me: Why the hell has my computer spontaneously changed its power saving options?
Wife: I would imagine it’s just part of its general power problems.
Me: The only power problem it has is that it thinks it can’t recognize the battery.
Wife: Well, if it can’t recognize the battery, it’s eventually going to shut itself down.
Me: No, I said it thinks it can’t recognize the battery. Whenever it first gets plugged in, it says, “What the hell is this?!” then charges normally.
