The classic "have you tried turning it off and on again" advice gets a Windows makeover. Dad's suggesting running DISM and SFC commands—the digital equivalent of "walk it off" for your computer. These commands repair system files and check for corruption, basically telling your PC to stop whining about its problems and fix itself. Just like real dad advice, it's both annoyingly simple and surprisingly effective.

Windows just can't help itself. While macOS and Linux civilized OSes use a simple \n for line endings, Windows insists on the verbose \r\n combo (carriage return + line feed, a relic from typewriter days). This makes cross-platform text parsing a nightmare—your regex breaks, your file diffs look like chaos, and Git constantly warns you about line ending conversions. It's like Windows showed up to a minimalist party wearing a full Victorian outfit. The extra \r serves literally no purpose in modern computing except to remind us that backwards compatibility is both a blessing and a curse.
