The whole "well, it's already broken: what's the worst I can do?" is such a liberating position to be in.

I have learnt how to fix a whole lot of things after realising that

Or, I learnt other things that can go wrong, without consequences

However, there's: "it's not working right" and there's "it's not working"... It's usually important to recognise that difference

"it's not working right" is conversely a terrible position to be in, you can't leave it as it is but you also risk fucking it up further by trying to fix it

Intermittent faults are the absolute worst
