25, 🇬🇧 🇭🇺, gaming on new/old hardware, I lost access to my old acc and I can't recall the hecking email or password for it. Yes that's me in the picture.
Figured I'd write it out into the void. 👍

This dude used to paint the house I live in and was the janitor for some time until he got into an accident with the stairs when painting he's walking with a stick & alcoholism later. He luckily survived and he got cleaned in the end and is a working member of society again.

"I'm gonna have it checked by a professional just saying."
The world almost spun around me.
"Motherfucker I am the professional, know who you're talking to, did all these favors and you give me a bad rep?"
We both started laughing.
"Alright man whatever you say."

"It's not faster."
"Yes it is faster"
"Stop lying to me it's not fas-"
"Remember when loading into the desktop took like 5 minutes tops? Yeah. It's was faster it's not immediate-fast but it's fast enough."
"Alright..."
"I left the old HDD in just in case there's ever a failure."

Gave it back to him the next day since I did everything overnight. Set everything up for him. However for some unknown reason the 5GHz network was not visible from his phone only 2.4GHz, but any other 5GHz network was visible. I made sure that I installed the driver & it's still the case.

Took his PC home, swapped the HDD over to the SSD, cleaned the ever living hell out of it, I left the HDD in, just in case there ever was a failure. Then went ahead and install Windows 10 on it. Should've installed Linux Mint to be fair it's an old HP Compaq DX SATA2 system.

So 125€ down the drain I brought him a 1TB Crucial SATA SSD and a new faster dongle. (The HDD was really small)
"I gotta take your PC however to do all this."
"Why you can't do it here?"
"I don't have the tools with me if I'm here and don't wanna turn 3 times."
"Alright come at 8, take the PC."

"Again? What now?"
"You know how it starts loading when I start it? It keeps spinning That "Welcome" shit or whatever it's called"
"I'll fix it, but we gotta swap that HDD out to an SSD and I don't have money on me."
*went on to explain that hdd is slower than ssd*
"Okay we'll do it sometime."
