@kaia @cell
You didn't see last weeks post ? :harold:
TL;DR
Someone I maintained their hardware for the past 15 years, 2 times, first obvious common repair/maintenance, second was two year ago just because of they kids or windows 10 tried to mess the thing and libreoffice didn't launch itself.
After telling me two years ago that the non lucrative was a banger solution, they now told me no "I almost don't use the computer but only my phone" even I told them it for all devices of a housing.
And wanted to pay me 80ø for a whole week worth of work.
80ø for:
-LCD screen replacement (kids broke it)
-Full paper report/diagnostic/software-configuration
-4 BD-R containing the original image system plus data and extract CRC
-1 BD-R containing the new dual boot system
-1 BD-R containing the raw data
-1 win install BD-R
-1 DVD with win drivers
-1 Trisquel install DVD
-1 DVD containing all the free/libre software for windows
-2 DVDd for her childrens with "il etait une fois la vie" and "il était une fois l'homme"
What can I give more ?!
Is it because I'm fuck ugly ? Because I don't wear a suit and tie ?
I give everything for them to have peace and tools that aren't destroying their lives and I get no ?!
Idk what to do anymore this is the sixth time that happens.
Still less worse than the previous on as I was able to fully migrated on Trisquel for that user and they didn't have to pay for the scam that is Norton, and like this one they were ok for this new model but after I did all this they didn't understand why they'd contribute monthly for all these services while they were paying for fucking Norton previously ?!
And that was a family member (in law) that has known me since I migrated in France.
Idk if people are doing it on purpose, if they believe me or not when I tell them the actual time I pass or cost of software maintenance or if they're genuinely don't have enough cognition.
I refuse their 80ø, not because of pride, but because it's fucking useless. Might as well give me scrap food, I'll just disappear and they'll get wrecked by the next so called tech and FANGMAN in the future.
Told them it's the last time I do anything for them.
But still I'm depressed by these people.

@mangeurdenuage did you tell them how much it would be in advance? did they agree for it to be X? LCD screen alone without work costs that much, doesn't it?

>Works perfectly, boots in 2:30 minutes in windows
That is impressive considering it's running on an HDD.

@mangeurdenuage @kaia @cell 4gb ddr3-1333
This is some pretty aged hardware then >10 years

@ooignignoktoo @cell @kaia Look at the cpu.
>This is some pretty aged hardware then >10 years
Works perfectly, boots in 2:30 minutes in windows
1 minute under GNU/linux.
All runs except modern gaymes.
But they didn't have any and the kids tried to install malware so I installed them Luanty with voxellibre, hedgewars and teeworlds.

soldered ram is an abomination.

@ooignignoktoo @cell @kaia Read more, you can see there's already 4GB of embedded/soldered RAM.
The 4GB are an extra RAM I added, Totaling 8GB. You can't add more, the shitty bios/UEFI doesn't compute all of it anyway, that or it gives absurd amount of it as shared memory for the GPU.

@mangeurdenuage @cell @kaia Even then it's only 4GB of DDR3-1333 16GB of DDR3 SODIMM ram should be cheap enough and it'd probably make windows run a lot better.
I upgraded my brother to 16GB of DDR3L SO-Dimm for his birthday last year on his aging thinkpad T420 and got the kit for $25.

>soldered ram
I forgot they started with that bs back then. I had someone with a shitty Acer laptop that did that and i was pissed then and still pissed that the industry is going with that. Ram is a part that can fail at any point and soldered ram is just anti-consumer. I don't care if it's theoretically faster if soldered than socketed either 99.9% of people aren't going to need the speed benefits of soldered ram over socketed and it's just anti-consumer fuckery to make devices prematurely fail or make you pay out the ass when you buy the system to get more ram than you think you may need for "future proofing".

@phnt @kaia @cell @ooignignoktoo 7200rpm. On the 5000 rpm dying original HDD it took over 10 minutes to boot the first time I did maintenance on it.
