You know when you need a bit of new tech and you spend ages researching what you want and reading all the fine print to ensure that everything looks good before finally hitting the Buy button, only to have it arrive and (fill in the blank).
Maybe the module doesn’t sync with the old system, even though it absolutely should. Maybe the form factor was altered in non-obvious ways that keep the new thing from matching the old thing. Maybe the cable that looks perfect mysteriously does not work.

It should fit. It should match. It should connect.
It should work, dammit, but it just doesn’t.
Does it make me feel better to know that this type of problem is super common?
No. And yes.
A little:)
