By now, I lost 2 hours, and is something I can't charge the dude much for because he is dirt poor, and still could not fix it, I really thought it would take me 5 minutes and was a win.
I do ocassional work by myself to earn a few bucks, but hell it pisses me off sometimes when nothing works, fuck PC repair, I can't wait to get a stable job at something else and tell to go fuck themselfs at all the people that bring me completely broken shit.
Or even worse when I go to someone's house and they have a socket A Sempron with 256MB of RAM and want you to fix some problem, and the piece of shit takes literally 8 minutes to open the browser and freezes all the time meanwhile they are standing next to you with an impatient attitude.
FUCK. THIS. JOB.
Pic related is what I want to do in this situations.

You should be thankful for having a job.
No problem m8
you just need to get better at your job
You should have just connected that hdd to your laptop and ripped the password.

Isn't that the whole catch with troubleshooting?
You have different routine protocols you follow for a variety of problems working with the most likely solution to least likely, sometimes it's quick and other times it's long but on average you're good.
Get over it, faggot.
>try Spotify
>music constantly pauses
>always exists out of the app
>crashes many times
Why is Spotify shit?
>>54160366
Looks like the app is crashing due to poor hardware, like, you have a shitty outdated phone with too many apps running in the background and/or shitty/unstable internet connection.
>Streaming music
Why aren't you just carrying your favorite playlist in your phone though?

Bruh this is on my fucking Note 5.
>using normiefy
You get what you deserve
Hey /g/. Whats operating system is everybody running?
>>54160287
Gentoo
Fedora 23 on KDE
Windows 10 and Arch.
Take this from an arch user, just stick with Windows or something like Ubuntu or Mint.
It really isn't worth it at all and there's nothing I can do on arch that I wouldn't be able to do on a smaller distro.
>never fall for the arch meme again

Why...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Is it okay to put my x220t on my bedsheets? Will it overheat?
Anybody running Libreboot on a X200 here know if using 1333mhz and 1600mhz ram is possible?
There is any specific reason why it is used 1066mhz RAM, or is is just because it was the way libreboot was compiled?
>>54159657
I think most notebooks will overheat on bedsheets
>>54159657
as long as you dont block the back/left side it will be fine. My t420 only runs 5-7c warmer with bedposting use. I usually have it on a piece of wood though.
Surprised to not see a thread on this
Does this mean Opera is the best now?
