    The other day some IT loser nerd called for a plumber because he couldn’t replace the fill valve on his toilet. Fucking idiot tool didn’t even know how to shut off the water. The fucker makes more money than I do and he just sends emails all day.

      Do you pay people to change your car’s oil? Do you call in an HVAC tech when your air conditioner’s capacitor dies? Do you bring your computer into a shop to have the storage upgraded?

      These are all fairly easy things to do. I make good money replacing and upgrading storage in laptops, desktops, and other devices like Steam Decks, a few hundred a month from that alone. It’s nearly trivial in difficulty, like replacing the fill valve or the chain that connects it to the handle, but people pay and I’m not about to tell them not to.
