    Interconnected hardware and software systems do affect each other. It’s not magic, it’s physics.

    And yes, your graphics card spewing garbage onto the pci bus can affect the rest of your system.

    It actually does work like that.

      If I have offended you, that wasn’t my intent. You seem defensive about what I said but I wasn’t trying to upset you.

      I said broken monitors don’t necessarily affect the rest of the system. Just like, you know, broken infotainment systems don’t necessarily affect the rest of the car. Can happen sometimes, doesn’t seem to have happened this time. So yes what you are implying is that magic is happening when it clearly didn’t and to sit here and say it will definitely affect other systems misleading.

      People make mistakes, it’s unavoidable but the fact that they are willing to admit it was their fault, shows an attitude of learning and growth and is a welcome change from norm, where companies sweep it under the rug and it costs people lives.

      Will they probably grow to a point where they are too big to give a shit, probably. At least for now they are being open and honest instead of blaming the user or a third party.

      We don’t live in a vacuum, the world isn’t black and white. Come live in the grey and cut people some slack.
