  1. Thought I'd escaped #ITschristmas but ended up digging around a BT HomeHub router (god they're terrible) and battling a Canon printer to convince it to join the wifi today. I won.

  2. @ModernDayNTK Another one from me:

    Sorting out a Brazil-esque cable nightmare behind the family TV I was baffled by three HDMI connections plugged in, given they only have one device.

    Yes, a HDMI cable had both ends plugged into the TV. The TV input switcher was *very* angry about this. #ITschristmas

  3. From @ModernDayNTK on bsky:

    "Parents' Macbook had fallen behind on major OSX updates, with the result that many (/all?) Firefox pages looked like this" #ITschristmas

  4. From someone who is no longer on social media:

    "I'd supplied several months of phone support for a windows PC someone had thoughtlessly given my MiL. One sticking point was that she'd been unable to use the CD-ROM drive successfully. On visiting I retrieved about 10 discs that had been carefully pushed between two plastic blanking plates on the front of the case" #ITschristmas

    Along with #duvetknowitschrismas, time for a new yearly tradition:

    #ITschristmas, where we share IT support horror stories from helping family over Christmas.

    Here's mine to start:

  6. Just woke up to local radio playing a new cover of Merry Xmas Everybody and… what the hell has she done to poor Noddy's Christmas classic?!

    My wife said it's supposed to sound like kids running around and having fun on Christmas day, but she's turned it into the mum stuck in the kitchen making Christmas dinner and already on her second bottle of wine!
