too bad it was only a temp thing because i was just filling for someone else they were already training

i found out though that the company was actually paying closer to $200/hr because i was goign through like two sub-contracting agencies lol

and it was easy as shit work mainly just flashing laptops and fixing printer problems

sometimes working with some CISCO people on router shit

huh that's pretty cool

i worked through OnForce a lot and Barrister

Right now computers are a hobby for me and I do help people on a discord with all sorts of computer problems for free.

OnForce was insane because a contract would become available and like within the first 30 seconds people would already have bids up

Damn

and of course people would drive the bids down as much as they could

so unless you already have like really good equipment and training and such it wasn't hard to basically just get fucked but i got some good shit on there before with like Wachovia before they lol went bankrupt

setting up hardware in rackmounts and running cables

Yeah I need to learn a lot more with server computers mostly, also running programs on servers

But as I had stated with hardware I am golden

I know almost every modern cpu on the market

but do you know how to unstick a stuck platter on a spinny disk harddrive

I don't do harddrive repair

i once literally got paid $50 to show up at a person's house and just give their hard-drive a wack

Lol

it blew their fucking mind

That's hilarious

yea but then there'd be times where i'd show up for some shit that should be easy and it turns out it was some super insane shit that was absolutely ridiculous and took like 5 hours of work that i couldn't really charge more than 2 hours for

Eh

there were some contracts i'd get where i'd have to read like a 100 page manual before going in the next day lol

but that's all contractor-related shit which i'm guessing you're not thinking aboutg etting into

Well I mainly do troubleshooting with peoples hardware besides drives. So lets say no video is displaying or their system isn't powering on I give them steps to tell them what might be wrong and what they have to do get said system to display said picture, most of the time it is the wrong ram speed for the system or it is just bad ram

yea one of my friends is currently having an issue with his monitor turning black once in a while and he has to put the computer in hibernate and back out for it to come back on

Sound like a driver issue or maybe not enough power

Mainly software I presume

yea he's going to swap out PSU and see if it keeps happening

But it could be power spikes

Yeah

need to get the GPUZ running or someswatch

Most of the time the powersupply isn't bad it is just getting way to much heat from the system

But it could be going bad

I had this problem where my gpu would only shutoff not my system just the gpu, and it was mainly because of a stupid dust cover stopping air flow coming in

i would hope it's not overheating he's got like fucking 6 fans running in that thing lol

but he IS in a super dusty house so probably a good idea to check that too

No I mean the PSU overheating

Because if air is being sucked from the inside that is most likely the problem

yea
