So one day my DSLR stopped working, it doesn’t turn on anymore. I removed battery, recharged it to make sure it has juice but camera still doesn’t turn on.

I found a YouTube video suggesting to remove sd card, battery, lens overnight and should work the next day. But it didn’t happen for me. So i just let it sit there on its bag for 2 weeks. I completely forgot about it and today it started working again after putting the battery in and sd card.

What happened there?

    That’s one of the concerning parts:
    It’s a 15 year old Škoda, probably one of the cars depending on the fewest lines of code by now…

      Well, by 2010 that would be a Volkswagen though wouldn’t it? Either way, it’s new enough to be mostly software control, though not entirely drive-by-wire.

        Yes, has one of the infamous engines that came with the fraud motor control…

        But comparing it to modern cars… Crazy what has changed in the time since then…
        E.g. we had a water bottle crashing against the main display some years ago, since then it only shows colored smears.
        Only downside is, that you now don’t know any more, which radio station is currently playing.
        In a new car, you probably wouldn’t even be able to control AC and heating any more.

        I guess I will try to cling to that car as long as possible,…
