At that point, as silly as it sounds, run it through a locally hosted LLM
they got trained on the documentation for a lot of these softwares, they’re shockingly good at error code lookup and providing correct solutions because they basically print out the help page that’s now hidden by search engines
I still sanity check every answer I ever get, but it helps narrow shit down when Google or others aren’t fucking behaving themselves
Also, people don’t seem interesting in figuring tech stuff out, its so easy to just google an error message, and read what it says.

Sure, but google an error message + one or two tiny details still will 70% of the time return something useful.
Its gotten worse, but not that bad yet.
