What technical issues did you ignore for an extended period of time? (leminal.space)

On my old phone I had an issue with the proximity sensor and front facing camera. This led me to holding my phone backwards to take photos and being unable to hang up phone calls.

I think I put up with this for a year and a half.

I did end up figuring out the issue with the proximity sensor but opening up my phone to reconnect the camera module was too much effort for me.

Years ago I got a second hand Sega Saturn - it was fine for a while then stopped working because it couldn't read the disks.

But then I discovered (not sure how) that if I turned it upside down it would work fine. So I did that for a couple of years.

...how did you work that out?!

They probably got frustrated and kicked it across the room and it landed upside and started loading.

That's my head canon anyways.

Yeah, let's go with that, why not? :-)

I wish I could remember - it makes absolutely no sense at all, but it worked :-)
