TIL to always check the tool offset after a power outage. Machine lost its zero and scraped a $500 part.

Ugh, that's the worst... feels like anything with a computer brain forgets its whole job after the power blinks. My smart thermostat did the same thing last week, just reset to factory defaults for no reason.

It's like they have zero memory without constant power, which is pretty wild for smart tech.

Honestly drives me nuts how much basic stuff just forgets itself now. My car radio loses all its presets if the battery gets low. The smart lock on my front door forgets its codes after a storm. Feels like we traded simple, reliable things for gadgets that have the memory of a goldfish the second the power flickers.
