Reply to comment by SirWigglesVonWoogly in ELI5: Why does "turning it off and on again" work so well for troubleshooting? by WillShelbyOBE
I've been a computer geek my whole life - like, I learned the alphabet using the keyboard of my family's 1989 Dell and a passion for them just continued to grow from there.
Not only can I not fathom that they work consistently, I can't fathom how we ever figured out how to get semiconductors to perform logic equations. I've probably spent days worth of time trying to wrap my head around it and I just can't.

It drives me crazy that I can understand the HOW, but not the WHY of the thing. As an engineer I love knowing the how and the why, but with computers its just....static and frustration.

See, there's your problem. You mixed static with your computer.
