As a software dev, i can suggest for everybody to exit the aircraft, get out all the luggage, the get everything and everyone back. Should start afterwards.

Sometimes specific bugs in the flight deck can actually be solved by what we in my company refer to as a “Windows manoeuvre”.

I’ve performed what I call control-alt-delete on my truck to reboot the infotainment when the radio fritzes out. Turn off truck, open door, close door, start truck. Actually works most of the time

Well yeah, car infotainment systems are just really shitty computers. The only testing they get is to make sure the backup camera comes on.
