5 Reasons The Guy Fixing Your Computer Hates You

Never tell anyone you work in IT.

The wipe part is the absolute truth. I tell people what wiping a machine does and yet I'm always getting chewed out by them after it is done because their data or programs are gone.

3:08 My computers 10 years old and I\m playing new games like fortnite at high settings and scrap mechanic and unturned all on ultra settings.

I never help people fix computers anymore. They can learn like we did.

Reimage it. Lol

If you didnt know christian site are more likely to give you a virus then site like xvideos and pornhub

People, if you aren't being compensated, don't take the job.

Just because you're their friend doesn't mean they're entitled to your services. I'd give them a few free passes, but if you fuck up your computer again after everything I did to make sure you didn't, then tough shit, you're on your own.

As a person with a fair amount of knowledge on computers i can relate lol

Why do you make it seem like every time a computer need fixing its the stupid user? Not trying to be passive aggressive but you seem to be

Yeah, i do hate myself

Who the fuck still trusts Geek Squad? Their WORSE than even beginner IT techs

This is why you do not make their account the admin account. Then you rename and hide the admin account so they can't google their way into changing things. Then you disable their ability to turn off protections.
But hey, it still works and you can even install software from verified vendors. I am a benevolent god.

Oh you get to deal with stuff like this in IT; it is just sometimes you get to explain why a project has fallen behind, after you spent the last week reinstalling software and running security scans because someone decided to look at porn while at work.

Yes

Ha I have a computer that is around more than a decade old and runs on windows XP, it got to the point where everything would take 10 minutes to open and would crash after loading. I completely rebooted it without loosing all my apps/files, I just lost the data for them. Now it runs extremely smooth and just a great wonder. It took me around a day to fix the thing

Just as you talked about idiots selling old computers and how they try and sell for hundreds I looked up mine and the average was 70 but some dickweed on eBay wants 300 for it xD

Dat G1 prime tho....

PREACH!!

PCs don’t degrade like bananas fuckhead

Sometimes when the pc is broken to the point that it won't boot into safe mode, you can run Linux on a flash drive and save many files.

When people I don't even know finds out I can program

Americans love complaining about their jobs.
Someone has to work double time because his or her coworker’s mother is sick- “Do you honestly want me to take over?”
Doctors-“Why the fuck are you here? Cant you just take care of yourself so i dont have to deal with you anymore?”
Parents- “Why do i have to take care of you? Youre old enough to work, right?l

if i cant fix a probelm by 5 months it goes to some one else

Im not trying to start this old debate but a simple solution to all these issues is to just install linux. If they don't know how to Google the simplest errors they likely won't even notice a difference other than the look and feel and how you install software. Because most people just need chrome anyway. For the 4 people I've done this for the only they don't come back with issues only with issues they ask "how do I do [insert task here]" and all I do is link them to a "let me google that for you" search with the exact same text. Linux is no where near as complicated as people make it out to be.

My old potato was awful, I treated it awful too, downloading stuff that didn't give what it said it did, then I got this new computer after my old potato wouldn't even turn on, and I've treated this one amazingly, no viruses so far

Why is this so true for me in this situation also if you cant boot to the safe boot menu that means firmware software is corrupted and you need to buy a new operating system and do the repair there

that’s why i’m an apple user!

"Be careful of free porn"
*FUUUCK!!*

for some reason wired connection to my computer didn't work so we tried wireless, still didn't work for some reason, we had the guy up for about 2 hours trying new things on the computer. the only reason it didn't work is because the router was out of range. we did pay him for his troubles and gave him a cup of coffe. but i'm pretty sure he hates us now

Xvideos, that pervert, red tube,e621 and of course porbhub are ok

2:32 ACTUALLY, you can recover data!
it's only marked as "overwritable" when deleted. the files act llike they're not they're and they can't execute/be executed
just get a file restore program, it's easy and you can see some interesting stuff you downloaded and deleted when you were high.

Well my i5-2500k that is 7 years old runs like a beast still so no upgrades for me no need to buy a hole now pc just upgrade it for cheapper.

i am a computer technician and all of it is so true

god I feel ya

Why is Optimus Prime, butt raping this poor doll?

I am the guy who fixes my computer. I hate myself

Don't you love it when they say I never had computers in my time or nobody told me

Shit I'm this kind of person, they are totally wasting my time !!!

I hate my brother because he always helps my grandma with bullshit on the computer the laziest way possible. My grandma is a sweet old lady and he doesn't even puts any effort helping her with her PC. Mozzilla Firefox doesn't work and is displaying an error message that says that you should reinstall it (I didn't even have to Google it, it just straight up said it)? Install Chrome and let your little brother deal with the fact that grandma's now gotta learn every single difference between Mozzilla and Chrome or just let him solve the problem for you.

Not porn religious sites. That's why you have viruses

I feel better after watching this. I keep fixing my mum, dad and aunt's laptop. They think that I enjoy fixing but really not 😓

just stuff a sonic plush in ur computer to make it faster

Good tip for tech support is to search specifically and if they happen to have a dell and don't know if it's under warranty then you can go to the dell website and enter the serial code

gotta fix my sisters computer all the fucking time because she doesnt know how to operate a computer

All my friends are pc gamers and programmers, so I hardly ever get suckered into jobs like this, I ussually have spare hardware, like screws, hdds, gpus and cpus along with a small collection of ddr2/3 ram, and psu's, another one of my friends has every windows install cd's along with a lot of keys for them, so we have more of a community system where favours are the payment, whether it's helping with firewood for a day (ussually only lasts a couple hours then we start dicking around in field cars), or cutting grass, etc.

I really wish my dad could afford a new laptop, but sadly he can't, so I gotta use this shitty laptop

That sound is nostalgic to a degree. Drawing a blank on why though.

The “Issue Resolved” at the end of threads hits close to home

The person be like:

Hey there chum pal friend buddy pal chum bud friend fella brother amigo pal buddy friend chummy chum chum pal,I don’t mean to be rude my friend pal home slice bread slice dawg, but I gotta warn you if you take one more didly darn step right there, I’m gonna didily darn snap your neck, and wowza wouldn’t that be a crummy juncture,huh?

my story but i will do everything for my friends !!!!!!
P.S i am programer thought

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Never mind this, carry on with your current habits.... You don't need any security anymore everything is done for you on the updates. Trust in your operating system manufacturer....🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I build my pc from trash of 4 pc who were old 11 years...
I buyed new power supply, graphics, proccesor.
Now i can play Battlefield 4 on Ultra & GTA V on Medium 😍😃😃😃😃

Well I fix my own so I hate myself?

I thought the List was gonna be
1: Porn
2: Porn
3: Porn
4: Porn
5: You guessed it... More Porn.

So true.....if all PC incompetent people I know would pay me 10$ an hour is have about......~750$ darn.....I could buy my self a new processor..... On second thought....I'd be happy if some of them would clear their browsing history prior to me coming over to take a look at their pc. Their pack of computer knowledge I can Del with. Their browsing history.....things that ruin friendships...

But it is true.. Now i study computer science but when i was a geeky teen back then my friends know this and i become a free service that can fix anything and they will brag about why it takes so much time..

This is why I won't fix my father's internet cafe computers the hassle of installing and fixing that I don't know. I take COMPUTER SCIENCE much of the subject is about coding then fixing computers.

When a computer is well over that 5 year mark, so you explain that it won't get faster and is worthless, then you find out one or more people told them the same damn thing, but they were hoping for a different answer.

My brother is nerdist

Do you feel better?

great an video made by some one with half an brain becuase you CAN make an old pc faster with some linux distro

Probably better to just talk to your friend (or hit him with something heavy untill it sinks in) rather than making a youtube video and ranting to the world, have you considered just charging him for future services and see if a financial cost may make him pay more attention to the problem or just start listening?

Sorry but this is a terrible video

My computer is 7 years old and it's still working good, I'm surprised it isn't super slow or smth

My life as a nerd

Well it’s ME just looks like. I AM good at pc. I know those virus. And I have never download mellware (I guess I spell miss) cuz WHO NEED THAT? Want tool bar? Well I don’t care but. VIRUS word? Idk. If you like pc. Denver word is. Mailware ransomware. Some FREE something like free pay game you know. Ok I think it’s too long and if you read this (you is the guy who see this). May be you think (da hell is he saying). Yeah that’s right I’m fucking bad at TALKING and ENGLISH

exactly how i feel when im trying to help my friend on a computer issue. i was about 8 years old trying to teach my friend how to install a minecraft mod. took hours. Though this isn't hardware related, i had that same feeling when i was 8

True

I fix my own com. do I hate myself

Bruh this is me and my friend I always have to fix it.

Lol can relate, That friend that ask you everything and you will google it and then get annoyed say to him JUST GOOGLE IT

I feel bad i am good to certain extent on pc but then i go on discord and ask dayz see rollin

Pc master race my ass. Pc’s gaming cost a fortune while I can just buy a Switch and a capture card for 490.99

What computer? Hehe.

Non tech people, please go to your local bookstore, find Windows for dummies, and shove your head into it.

I don't know how many times I have fixed, wiped and deleted toolbars. Can't count them on my fingers and toes. At first it was me fixing my own computer, than I branched out to fixing other computers.

T-the.. the horrors... "father and son play ball" "my little pony diapers" I do not want to fix computers for other people anymore

Wow this means my dad hates me... i wouldnt doubt it though, they forgot to use protection for me.

I used to do internet tech support for Comcast and had to deal with customers who thought their computer problems were internet problems. They sometimes literally think their computer IS the internet.
Well on one call, I had a lady who asked me if we put pornography on her computer. I told her we don't put anything on your computer, we just supply a connection. That is all. She said she had porn ads and pop ups and web pages opening to porn sites while she tried to use her computer. I asked her if she had any teens in the house that use it. She said it was just her and her husband. I asked if she got the computer used. She said she got it from the store. I tried really hard to find reasonable explanations. Did she lend it to a friend. Any visitors or house guests but nope.
I told her "I'm not saying it was your husband but if you have porn on your computer, its because someone is actively looking for porn".

*reads title*
But my dad fixes my computer :(

I dont hate myself tho

I don’t rape him though

Computers devalue at aproximately the same speed as bananas SO TRUE

my dad says he loves me!

When you have 3 antivirus running

Boi what's the name of the music box at the beginning? My snow globe plays that song and I've been wondering what it is

As an IT specialist, this is funny because it's almost true

this is personal but it's so true.

My dad fixes my computer does that mean he hates me?

And then there is the possibility the virus can get past resetting and/or infect other computers on the net work your on.

I will only hate you if you don't listen to me and break it in the same way again. Pro tip: FUCKING LISTEN TO US, WE ARE TELLING YOU THINGS SO THAT YOU DON'T BREAK SHIT AGAIN

2 words, MY MUM

Very easy, wipe windows install linux. I installed ubuntu on a friend's machine in 2009 and he's been happy using it every day with no issues.

why is this so true

Literally my brother and me, he built a gaming computer, but instead of doing the research himself to figure out which part he needs to upgrade or what he needs to do, to fix his own damn computer he comes to me, the only TECHIE in the house who knows anything about technology because everyone else in my house is too lazy to get off their asses and do a little research, which I have to do on a daily basis to make sure I'm prepared for my computers problems if I ever run into any, and because of me doing so much research it has caused me to have to fix everything Tech related in my house because the idiots wont do their own damn research to fix their own damn problems! Sorry about the yelling but being the only tech guy in the family gets really annoying, the internet exists for a reason guys I'm not trying to be a dick, but please please do some research to fix your own tech problems it puts a lot of less stress on the tech guys who have to fix your technology problems.

I always thought pornhub was safe but fuck looks like im going to brazzers

im the freind and my parents are the person with the slow pc

Everyone at my school thinks I'm a master hacker because I can drag and drop files into a flash drive to get around an admin password.

that guy he's talking about that guy is my dad
