MTP USB Device Driver - Phone stops being recognized

Useless nonsense for the 99%.

So this is something that I have to go through twice a year, and I *always* forget the exact details and googling for it is a frustrating pain in the ass and therefore I hereby notify my future self of the main points









Yours truly

So You Want To Be A Writer - Bukowski



if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or fame,
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want women in your bed,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody else,
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-love.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is burning your gut,
don't do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.
