So whenever my computer starts acting weird I usually don’t apply the same critical thinking skills to my personal machine that I do to a client or customer.Īnyway, over the past few weeks my browser would continually say, “Resolving Host” in the status bar.
It’s like I’m blaming God saying, “Hey, this can happen to everyone else but not me! It’s not fair!” wha wha wha! And then I start whining like a baby. It’s like I have this innate believe that tech guys should be immune to computer problems. I know how this stuff works.īut what really pisses me off is when I need to use Help Desk skills on my personal computer. I used to work the Help Desk in college and I did Tier 2 and Tier 3 technical support at IBM as my first job. Now before I get into my issue and how I fixed it I need you to know something about me. Sometimes rebooting my computer would temporarily speed things up but it didn’t always fix things. I have Microsoft Edge and Firefox Quantum but I still use Chrome because I’m used to it and all my extensions live there. And to be more exact: it wasn’t the computer itself but rather my browsers. I pay attention to what I click.īut here’s the thing: for the past month or so my computer has been slugging along and I never really took the time to figure out why. I know how malware works (heck, I even reverse engineer it in my spare time using IDA PRO and gdb). I’m not one of those stupid click-happy users who downloads spyware, malware and potentially unwanted programs. The internet service we have at home is blazing. Today I met my match with a “Resolving Host” issue… let me explain. 32GB of RAM… Intel i7 Processor… 1TB SSD… it isn’t new but it’s a top of the line system and I take better care of my laptop than I do my own body (okay, that’s not entirely true… well maybe).
My laptop is a vertitable Porsche of a system. Ok so for about a week my computer has been royally pissing me off in the worst way possible.
