SWEET MOTHER OF RUBE GOLDBERG! This is what happens when desperation meets ingenuity and they have an unholy child! Some poor soul created a PHYSICAL SERVER REBOOT MACHINE using a CD tray as a mechanical finger to poke the reset button! 😱

Imagine explaining this to your boss: "Yes, our mission-critical infrastructure relies on an ancient PC with a CD drive that acts like a digital defibrillator whenever the server flatlines." The beautiful disaster of it all is that IT ACTUALLY WORKED!

This is the programming equivalent of fixing your car with duct tape and a paper clip. Pure chaos magic that somehow passes as a "solution." The blurry line between genius and insanity isn't a line at all—it's this entire contraption!
