I went to go disable my nic.
It needed a reboot to take effect.
The fuck? I only want to turn it off because I’m testing something and I need a change of ip to test an application and I’m feeling lazy, so I turn off the nic to go to wifi. Good enough? Nope.
So stand up and unplug the cord.
Cool. Switched over. Test didn’t work as expected. Plug cord back in.
Next day computer reboots for updates and I’ve got no internet. Go crazy trying to figure out what it was then remember it needed a reboot to disable the nic.
