Does 'have you tried restarting it' survive the next decade unchanged

Some tech advice feels permanently true regardless of how much the underlying technology changes, restarting a device fixes an absurd share of problems and probably always will

But a decade is a long time. Maybe self-healing systems make this advice genuinely obsolete, or maybe it just becomes even more universally true as everything gets more complicated underneath

What do people think, does this specific piece of advice survive completely unchanged, or does technology eventually outgrow needing it

Survives forever, this feels like one of the few genuinely timeless pieces of tech advice that exists
