That's not the least of what makes me unhappy about the Google search experience lately. The thing I don't like is how much it sucks. Like, really really sucks. It was the paradigm of mind-boggling usefulness at one point. Now it's an ad server with occasionally marginally relevant results.

I haven't been able to find anything good on there in years. Everything is some company claiming to have a fix and it's just stupid crap that isn't helpful. 'Here's 10 tips to fix your issue that are worthless.'

How to fix your tech problem:

  1. restart
  2. the same generic fix you already saw on the last 10 websites that didn’t work
  3. download our totally legit software that’s specially designed to fix this exact issue
