It’s so frustrating when you Google your problem and you read some Google or Apple or Microsoft product support page and see people like this responding. They absolutely never have the solution and it will still be marked as problem solved.

The worst are the Apple forums where some ding a ling will chastise the person with the question for some supposed failure to follow whatever Apple wants you to do.
I didn’t want to say it…but yes. Every time I google something like that I end up on some Apple page with the borg asking “Well why would you want to do that?” to something completely obvious that people should be able to do.

and they're still telling people to "Reset the PRAM" in 2023 to solve some software level issue.

This exactly, it's the most frustrating thing ever as a user, and makes me wonder what the point of these forums even is.
To teach us to stay away from these companies?
Gathering data so when some PM wants to empire build and justify a project, or when a UX researcher person needs evidence to support their initiatives. All of this is self-serving towards their careers.
