I have just been reading an article about a network connectivity issue following the latest Windows 10 upgrade.
Microsoft's advice...
Try restarting the PC and if that doesn't work visit their website.
Der.....

Playing devil's advocate here, they probably are referring to the fact that most people have more than one device that can access the internet.
However, back when the internet was still new and before smart phones you would sometimes see that error and definitely shake your head.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

My boss was catched by that last friday here at work. Came to me claiming about "no internet, no connection to the local network".
Took me less than 5 minutes to get it working again (checking the port light at the switch, opening a console to type "ipconfig", recognising that there was wrong a IP, trying "ipconfig /renew", problem solved).
At the weekend I read the first articles about the problem. They suggested various solutions including mine. But Microsoft still suggested to restart on their web site ...
Awkward issue:
The systems did not always connected to the DHCP server at startup. I checked the server logs here and there was no request from the affected system. So restarting might help or even not.

By "their" did they mean apple's or ubuntu's web-site?

I was sent a job spec that seemed right up my street. It's an old vb6 application that does what it should and they don't really want to replace it yet. What they do want is a link out to a reporting engine.
Generate data sets I think, maybe XML or even populate an external db. Sadly no, the Eejit running the project wants to use a certain product that I will not speak of - lets call it Chrystal Meths. I have politely said I would gladly build the interface to any third party tool they choose, but I will not go near that product.
But surely after you've built the interface it'll be easy to create the reports? "Fnufff!" was my muffled reply.

Did you ever play one of the SpaceQuest games? They had a character named Roger Wilco.

Wasn't the main character Roger Wilco? Plus it also had two guys from Andromeda!
Series is still one of my favorites, kind of lost its way after number three though.

Right. Roger Wilco was the main character. I might pull my old Atari ST out of the shelf tonight and look for one of the Space Quests in my disk box.

I'm waiting for Space Venture to finish development (I went in on the kickstarter).
The Two Guys from Andromeda are still around, even though Sierra isn't

I hunted high and low for the full version of "Space Quest X: Latex Babes of Estros", but no ...
