    Inexplicable has a range from “I can’t explain that” to “that is not in the realm of possibility”. Windows failures especially have been steadily moving from A (already pretty sad) to B in the past years and I’ve been thinking about how utterly unempowering that is. Tools stop being tools if they have a secret life of their own.

    Excellent post!
