Damn, this is why I stopped fixing people’s computers, they act like they’re helping at first and then you wonder if it’s fear you’ll steal something… but then you realize it’s praying you don’t see all their porn. 🙄

Lol That’s true, but then you have to worry about the few that didn’t.

Most disturbing thing is Geordi's hand pushed up against a touch screen device
Sometimes I just pick up my phone and all of a sudden it's playing a youtube video because I somehow set it off

Can you save the pictures I uploaded? I would hate to lose them.
Data: There's a folder here labelled ... 'Dinner recipes' .. and its taking up 30% of the ships memory banks ... that is a large portion of the ships resources for cooking instructions.

Had to fix my MIL's laptop this week. All I did was clone the hdd to an SSD, disabled all the bloat on startup and took a spare ac adapter from work. I think I said "I fixed the file system, ran a virus scan and optimized the configuration." Somehow using TV tech lingo works better than saying what you actually did.
You should of just handed them the old hard drive and said you "removed the cancer"
bring a small prayer crucifix and tell them you've exorcised the demons and blessed the motherboard

Which button to choose when it says "press any button"?
4 hours later ..... hmmmm? ....
Factoid: people who fix computers rarely call them a PC.
