The little praise and pat on the back you get for the easy fixes are never worth the 3-hours you have to babysit a dirty old laptop waiting for it to reformat.
The best part however is that if both your parents are over 60 you get to have the line all to yourself, and also no one dares **** with the router.
my dad is 60 in a few years and he knows so much more than me about computers...
And he spends most of his free time watching cat videos on the internet and showing me "funny" reposts he found on 9gag...
Or stepfather blames me for the internet being slow, claiming I'm downloading porn 24/7, while my little half-sister is playing Mincecraft online with her friends and watching Youtube videos all day.
Install DDWRT on your router, set it up so she can only use 1/4th of your internet connection. If she complains say "I guess [insert internet provider name] lowered our internet speed" depending on what you have for a router at least.
Nah, I don't live with them idiots anymore. Also, my stepfather would never actually listen to anything I have to say, that would be admitting I might know stuff.
Tell me about it. Ive been dealing with this **** where my computer loses connection. Funny thing is, if im logged into League of Legends, the game doesnt lose connection and I can keep playing.
I suspect league is doing it, but have had no luck trying to search for it.
Reminds me of my last time at work
>Get called to reinstall laptops
>It's actually a wifi problem
>Reposition the router and AP extenders
>Kick one extender off the network
>Wifi now works normally
>Tomorrow I'm gonna end up deploying an ESXI host with 2 VMs running pfSense with Squit and CentOS with FreeIPA and Kerberos auth because **** the students
I always have to help my grandmother with stupid things like searching for something on Google, she always thinks i am a computer genius just for bringing up the weather forecast. I like the little praise but it takes almost 45 minutes just to explain to her what I'm doing, i have tried to show her how but its a nightmare. Dont get me wrong i love my grandma to the sun and back but ******* hell she knows how to bust my balls.
First rule of computer maintenance: Never let anyone know you did anything. If they know you're the one who fixed it, you're getting blamed for every single issue in the future. If you're doing it right no one will notice you did anything at all.
