    They needed me to help them because the Flash drive “wasn’t working”. They ended up shoving it in backwards and completely destroying the port. I asked why they did it and they said it wouldn’t go in.

      I had a boss who once told me that there are two things you should never force: love and machines. If you have to try that hard, you’re doing it wrong.

          The power cable of my nightmares… Everytime I feel like they want you to brake it, just so you need to buy a new one

          I remember the old days, before RAM had little hydraulic presses to keep them in the motherboard… If you looked at the case wrong, the RAM would jump a mm so it was disconnected but still looked fine, or worse had an intermittent connection and would cause all sorts of issues.
