He should speak to the guy who froze the water, together they could have everything.
I can't figure out how he did it. I mean, it's not hard but it is so different to opening a fridge.

Dementia is one of those things where you want so bad to find their antics funny but you know on the inside that it's terribly sad. When I heard him say that I wasn't sure whether to laugh or feel pity. My grandpa devolved slowly into dementia. Watching someone you love slowly lose their sense of reality, time and self is crushing.
A repair guy once told me that 90% of the things people bring their computers in for could be fixed by themselves in five minutes if they knew what they were doing.
my friend thought his pc was dnf so he asked me for help and turns out the switch on the psu was off.
You can't expect people to learn, this is the 21st century after all!
sounds about right , i had so many issues with my self built pc in the 3 years i had it , but most of them are so minor , like ac revelation not running until i fix one small file or something , minecraft not auto detecting the proper java install due to me having my stuff scattered across 2 hdds and 2 ssds ( mc literally crashed back to the launcher menu once or twice bc of simple things like that , another time a game was crashing because of a systemdetection.dll in the games folder that just couldnt deal with modern hardware out of the 1500 games i have on steam , probably like 40 have had minor issues , sometimes windows 7 or xp compatibility mode was enough , sometimes manual adjusting , sometimes start commands to start in fullscreen / windowed were enough but figuring out what to do sometimes took time , the fixing itself always was fast

I've seen your standard weird web searches, personal pics and videos, etc. But one really stuck with me and I think about it a lot. This rather quiet and partially disabled middle aged man in my office asked me how to import bookmarks from IE to Chrome one day. I went to his office to show him and I noticed a bookmark came over for Yahoo Answers "My ex-wife won't let me see my kids anymore, what can I do?" I knew he had kids he really loved from past conversations and the pics on his desk, but he also lived completely alone. It made me feel especially bad for the guy. I always took time to make small talk with him, knowing I was probably his kids same age. He was such a nice polite guy, I have no doubt his ex just used him for his very very well paying job.

I was a PC repairman once, and the weirdest (but also coolest) thing I found was over 2 terabytes of Bob Ross related videos and photos. Every episode of The Joy of Painting, documentaries, photos of art he made watching TJOP and even Bob Ross ASMR parodies. When he came to pick it up when we'd repaired it, I simply handed it to him and said "be sure not to beat the devil out of it", winked and then he went pale and left.

Worked as a repairguy as a college side job. One day, a mother comes in with her son's gaming desktop PC. He complained that it was smoking and not turning on. I place the PC on the counter and pop it open for a quick look and what did I find? A small plastic bag filled with weed. Plenty of words were spoken.
It was smoking alright!

Speaking of cockroaches reminded me I sell motorcycle gear, and occasionally we have to install bluetooth units for customers into their helmets for talking on the phone/music while you ride. This guy came in with a helmet model I could identify had to be over 10 years old (helmet lifespan is 5 years on the head) and recommended he perhaps look for a new helmet He said "no this one still fits good and I like it" and just to install the bluetooth unit inside I took the left cheek pad out to start installing the unit and a cockroach comes jumping out and crawling across my floor I stomped it and the guy jokingly said "oh geez i cant believe i didnt notice that" and I very worriedly kept taking the pads out You all every hear how "if you see one cockroach theres probably a bunch more nearby"? Took out the crown pad I estimate 5-6 cockroaches before I threw the thing straight in a bin to quarantine it (god help us if one of those end up in one of my brand new helmets on the shelf) to which he replies... "ok maybe it's time to get a new helmet"
its definitely time to buy a new helmet
this is hilarious
Imagine crashing, not that fatal but enough for you to have you hit your head and crush the helmet. Yeahh cockroach juice all around.
Am I the only guy that simply has a folder simply labeled “pornography” on their computer? I’m an adult. I can have whatever I want on my computer. You go in a folder labeled “porn” and get surprised that you find pornography on it, that’s your problem. I don’t want to be the guy that dies and has their family innocently going through my computer to find anything worth saving and opening “beach pictures” to find my spank bank. They see a folder labeled porn, they quietly move it to the recycling bin and delete it, mind unscathed. No point in being cute about it.
That's actually a pretty straightforward way to go about it.
I just use the initials of the websites I get the content from. PH for pornhub bookmarks, NH for nHentai, HATV for Hanime(dot)tv and so forth. I could use full domain names but I had to code in college and got used to compressing names of variables into small groups of syllables or initials.
As do I. However we're talking about people who have *illegal* shit. Of course they hide it. The rest are just kind of retarded.

I work in IT, I decided long ago to not poke around client's pcs after getting a very old fat man who demanded we fix his pc so he could watch his asian school girls bang dogs porno without the computer "hitching" during video playback. I actually had to let him watch some of the most repulsive shit I've ever seen as he "inspected" my work. I would have reported him had those "school girls" looked young enough to have been in college, probably should have just for the animal abuse. But by far the most disgusting thing I've seen was when I was asked to look into a pc which wouldn't start, some client' sson brought it back with him from college and as a present they were going to get it working again for him (he wanted a new computer). Arrived, it's a moderately old computer (4 yo) sitting on the floor, no real sign of issues. I hit the power button, nothing happened. So I disconnect it from everything and set it on a desk, pop the side to see what's failed. The inside of the case was packed with dust, dirt, nearly mud, filling half the case, cat hair, flees and ticks, I could swear it smelled like cat piss. the smell was so offensive I had to step outside. Nearly noped out of there. I had learned long ago to keep some latex kitchen gloves in my tools, almost NEVER needed them. Very rare do you see something filthy enough, first started carrying them when I came into a house with insulin needles everywhere you looked. (I did nope out of that one) Anyway cleaned out the inside of the computer, used a few cans of compressed air. Still smelled something "wrong" so I took off the "other" case door (you know the one that grants access to the back of the motherboard), there was an honest to god colony of thousands of cockroaches living back there, live, and they went everywhere. when I popped the side off. All over me, the floor, the desk. the client is sitting there ran screaming from the room, I nearly noped out. The client was really apologetic. I was flat out disgusted. the client paid me 200 under the table (on top of the above table time we were charging) to clean the computer anyway, so I went to the store, grabbed some raid, a bottle of rubbing alchol, qtips and some lint free towles. Came back and sanitized the f- out of that thing. tore the whole thing down, cleaned it from top to bottom, put it back together, and bam started on the spot. Of course the computer itself was jammed up with porno popups. Ah, that was just miserable. just typing this is making my skin crawl again.
You poor soul, I'm sorry you had to suffer so much for one dude who clearly did not give a damn about his computer's sanitary and how to take proper care of it.

I have great friend who works in a electronics repair store. When I lived near that place I often spent time observing his work and what he does, just chilling and trying to learn more about computers. Well, anyway there was a rather odd fellow visiting this place, a guy in seemingly Russian military surplus clothes. Had an old laptop with him. He told my friend about the problem, something about it being slower than usual, which had gotten quite annoying to him. Sooo, my friend proceeds to work on it after the guy had left. The hard drive wasn't too full. The desktop had tons of folders, all labelled with odd numerals. He took a look in to them and had a puzzled look on his face so I asked whats up, because that was rare. Well, he motioned me to come take a look. The folders, each and every single of them had pictures of old buildings, with question marks drawn to certain spots. Well, pictures was nothing weird, but then there were hand drawn maps of the place. Well more like aerial view of the places, the guy had drawn on top of. That's when it got a bit more weird. Symbols drawn at some points, with the explanation for them on the side. Like a crude drawing of a small shield was referred to as a hardpoint on the "map". Drawing of a sword was strikepoint. Et cetera. The laptop also had some weird programs, probably used for actual map making, or that's what I thought they were for, saw a similar program in school a while ago anyway. None of these were the issue. My friend opened up the computer, and its internals had small twigs, dirt, crusted mud. It was a miracle the thing was even working. He cleaned it up carefully but rather quickly. The dude came back a few hours later, still wearing the same clothes but now knee deep damp and dirty. He paid and left. My friend and I never figured out what was the deal with all that, and occasionally talk about it still when we meet.

One of my friends had a all in 1 monitor computer. He told me it was overheating and turning off and rebooting randomly. I took the back off that sucker and there were all sorts of roaches, bugs, eggs, everywhere.

Bro, after reading your post I decided to look on Google how roaches eggs look like. They look like rice. A while ago I bought a synthesizer from a lady on the internet, when I received it it was so fucking dirty and it smelled like crap. I had decided to clean this thing by taking it apart and wash everything I can wash. When I opened there was some shit in the synthesizer which looked like rice, I tough first that she had spilled rice on it. But after reading your post I realized that it wasn't rice but cockroach eggs. It gives me the fucking creeps despite the synthesizer look like all brand new and all the parts I cleaned with soap and alcohol.

Just hide your porn folder inside your memes folder then nobody will question why you have 100terrabytes of “memes” Or hide it in the %appdata% folder so it’s hidden entirely from normal searches
Or the Steam folder since that's already bloated by games
@@Lightscribe225 Teamfortress' tf folder or spray folder but to cowcannon , can you just save stuff in appdata ( roaming , or local / local low ) i thought those are kinda protected folders
@@deaththekid922 If you are an admin on your computer (You should be) you can add files there.
Bunch of amateurs. Steganography. I hide my porn movies inside porn pics, which I then hide inside .odt docs of gay batman/joker fanfics. And those I then hide inside randomly downloaded installers of PC cleaning programs. Being the neighborhood PC fixer guy, nobody bats an eye at me having all these maintenance program installers on my drives.

Worked for a E-disposal facility for Good Will, had a pallet of computers to go through and see which were good enough to resell, and which ones needed to be deposed of. Opened one up and found a dozen of Fruit by the Foot, had co-worker who was actually ballsy enough to try one. They were actually fresh, probably a week or two old. So it seemed that whoever was donating his computer thought he would leave a nice gift to whoever had to examine his computer.
oh gosh. this brought back memories from my fourth grade teacher. always thought he was super strange and hated going to school because of him. all the parents loved him, including mine. long story short, we moved from arizona to utah after that year because of my dad’s work and found out from our friends that still went to school there that somebody came to fix my fourth grade teacher’s computer and found child porn. he’s in jail.
Damn.
I fix computers and make a solid effort not to find/look at private files. I find it disturbing and invasive that some people who fix computers do look. Your work is to repair a computer and snooping is very out-of-line even when the location of private data is obvious. It's like having a plumber in your house to fix the toilet and having him look through the closet in your bedroom.
ゆい714 yes and no, in most cases yes but if said computer contains child pornography it would be much better to find that than let it go undetected
Illegal search and seizure would be my concern, no warrant and the evidence was poisoned
Thank you. These mfers looking through personal files while fixing a computer should be against the law or something lol
Well, IT workers and tech companies aren’t government agents or bound to their system. They would be in no violation of that amendment. Arguments can be made about the legitimacy of the evidence but not the nature of being discovered.
No no, it's like having a plumber in your house to fix the toilet and him finding a dead body under the sink. They weren't supposed to be snooping around, but it was still within their job description to do what they did.
I had a pretty bad sound coming from my computer a while back. A deep, low, grinding noise from a cooling fan in the power bank. Myself and my cousin tried to see if it was fixable at all, and that was a hard no. The fan was embedded DEEP into the machine. So I decided to try something dense: I unbolted the power bank, turned it on its side, and just didn't bolt it back in. Worked like a charm, and it's super quiet now. I'll still probably need a new power bank down the road if this one develops a heating problem from that fan, but that was my proudest computer moment. I'm a mechanical type of guy, not a software engineer. If I can fix it with a socket wrench, I will fight that thing to the death to get it working again.

Whoever owned that computer must have been in some deep shit.
If that much crap is on a computer from smoking I can only imagine what's going on inside the person's body ughh.
Oh the same basics you expect in non smokers, lungs, spleen, liver et cetera Insides are just nasty regardless of smoking. XD
Bodies are gross but smoking definitely covers your lungs in some really, really nasty shit. Not that I can talk, with my diet I'm sure I've got a thick layer of grease covering just about everything in there.
People aren't computers. Organs have this thing where a contaminant doesn't stay there until externally removed. Otherwise your wind pipe would have a really thick layer of smog shit and your lungs would stop working after a year, regardless of smoking.
Windows Vista... Nothing else. LEGEND.
I never understand why parents think kicking out = problem solved. I hope OP's sister is ok because obviously she needed help and guidance.
Fixed computers for other students as a favor. One time a girl claimed I hacked her and she threatened to kill me. Up until that point, we were part of the same club at university, but after that she got kicked out. Later found out she had been in psych ward and heavy drug problems in the past.
That's unfortunate for both parties involved.
@NurturingTalents I wish you would be joking, but damn how shit like that turns out sometimes.

As an IT tech for many years, back in the early 00's. I started my career at a community college. Same machine over and over made it quite easy to fix problems. I was told by one of my bosses that people at the school will probably ask me to fix their home machines. DON"T DO IT! were his exact words and boy was he right. I listened to him but others didn't. The stories were great. Here's a quick one from me. I was upgrading my fathers PC (way back when) and ran a virus scan before I backed up his data and transferred it. The scan came back with 4 of the WORST viruses of the day. Thankfully, my dad did not like Microsoft so he used Corel Word perfect instead of MS Word, An old third party Email that I can't even remember the name of instead of windows email. ETC. . . All of the MS programs that ALL viruses of the time were built to exploit and install themselves from were not installed so these viruses just sat there on his hard drive doing noting. Easiest virus removal I've ever done.
Bwahaha!! Linux and open source software for the win!!
7:35 that might have been disgusting... but it was also pretty damned romantic. Imagine being that old and out of shape... and your spouse still looks at you as if you're the hottest thing they've ever seen.
that's just low standards
Stav Galon no?
Marriage goals, right there.
@@vooshmoozik6185 Low standards is being faithful to your partner and loving them, and god forbid, finding them attractive? what a sad life you must lead.
@@McSquiddles sad, but at least honest, we live in a lie out of comfort, we all want our partner to be supermodel type of attractive, but settle for mediocracy because we know our chances are slim to none unless either money or some type of skill/feature is involved (not sure if this applies to women, but i'll generalize for equality). our world is built on societies, where generally the pretty will want to go for pretty, rich will go for rich, high societies are closed within themselves... exceptions are special cases but not common... anyway.... the fact that he took those pics might make him look like he intentionally took them out of unconditional love, IF fhat's true, then i agree it is romantic... but you don't know the backstory behind them... maybe she extorted/forced him to do it or threatened him, maybe he did it to emotionally satisfy her... nobody knows. me saying low standards is actually thinking better of him than being judgemental... which makes you judging me pretty sad
10:52 “he always wore sweat pants with jean shorts over top...” id have altered the authorities just seeing that. Anyone wearing such a thing is obviously criminal.

Heard of a guy who had like 13 folders inside a folder and the last folder said steak. It was mandatory that the campus or whatever inspects the computers each month for inappropriate stuff. The folder had hundreds of pictures of steak, just steak. I found it hilarious when I heard about it.

After hearing "cow orker" I'll never read "coworker" the same.
My dad never let me go to a repair shop and said you can do it if you look it up. I would spend hours fixing simple mistakes that a professional could probably fix in 10 minutes. But now I can do it as a side gig for some simple problems like most of these.
My Biology Teacher plugged the Speaker Cable into the Microphone Slot and complained why it doesnt work. I said i could fix it and she said:" Hm sure you can" in an arrogant voice . I fixed it. I mean... if you can call this fixing and not just correcting stupid People.
honestly my teachers always doubted I could fix their computer when I offered so I gave up and when they asked I just basically ignored them.
i dont know how often i didnt even bother sitting down in class when i noticed the teacher wanted to show us something on the pc , me and the one boy who always was the best in most classes already stood behind the teacher , either to turn up the volume , to locate the vlc media player or other things , he usually did the audio stuff as well as properly turning on the projector , i did the rest ( locate the player , move the coursor out of the bottom part of the screen so it doesnt stay visible )

Worked in computer sales and repair at a local "Mom-and-Pop" computer store for the last few years. When I was about 6 months in, we got a home desktop in from an elderly lady, clearly a heavy smoker. But that alone didn't explain the stench coming from the computer. I took it to the back after she checked it in for our free general diagnostic (wouldn't power on). The exterior was dusty, but nothing out of the ordinary. But for the life of me I could not get any of the case panels off. After the other technician and I spent about 20 minutes trying to get the computer open, we finally got it. The side panels had been completely rusted shut. The stench was horrendous. Every surface, every nook and cranny; inside the various expansion slots, clogging the heat sinks and blocking the intake and exhaust vents, was an ungodly amount of cigarette smoke stained dust that had been soaked, dried and re-soaked, over and over again in cat piss. Neither of us could breath, it was so bad. We immediately set it out the back door and called the lady to come pick it up, we were not working on this thing. To this day, we still tell horror stories of "Cat Piss". Also, for some reason it has become all too common in my area, Alienware laptops that come in for repair tend to be full of bedbugs (alive and dead). Looks just fine at first, but the moment you go to clean the heat sinks, they go flying everywhere. So whenever we get any Alienware laptops in anymore, we take them outside before we start opening them up, just in case.
I don’t understand how people can let bugs build up in the computer I open my laptop every month or so to check that everything is working fine not broken or clean out the dust
I found about 100 hi res pictures of people flattened by tanks. Was the first thing I found on the computer after getting it booted. After a bit of shock and a little more looking, it seems the customer was either a journalist or doing some legitimate research on the subject for a book. But a heads up would have been nice.
Seriously, I used to work in IT for 3 years. Saw all of this shit. I'd blackmail every single one of these people for money now. Easily too.

A company I had worked for back around 2000 had computers running legacy software. Had to work on one and the 5.25 floppy drive had a CD firmly wedged inside.
…how…did they manage that?
@@rokr0001imagine a CD the size of a GameCube disc...
Oh yeah, I agree with the guy who dealt with a heavy smoker. There was so much dust and tar in the heatsink, I got a contact high from it after a half an hour of cleaning it. Not to mention the PC's exterior was white, I had to use rubbing alcohol to be able to get rid of the tar that stained it. Now, I got Vista to work. You guys have never tried to work with Windows ME. God, I just want to forget about that shit.
This is why you keep your NSFW stuff on a separate disk. Even if your main system fails, you don't have to worry about it being discovered. Alternatively, PW-protect it as a rar file since that can't be breached.
Lol I think I found the bad guy
External drive. AKA "Porn Drive".
Rei yeh they’ll know that 90% of the time if they see a locked rar file it’ll be porn but at least if it’s weird stuff they can’t arrest yoy

We-hell, it's a good thing my computer's in fine condition. Ehehe... Heh... *pats forehead with towel*
I have a similar story: I'm not a computer repair man but I am the neifhborhoods go to guy for pc repairs. I don't as a hobby and for extra cash. A new family ( husband, wife, 3 daughters) that moved from California came to me one day to clean and tune up their PC. Needless to say I found malware, and virus. However I found one file that was 80GB large labeled "Super Exiting Xtrimities" ( not very suttle is it). I didn't think much of because come on who doesn't have porn of some kind on their computers in 2018. I noticed it had alot duplicate files so I went in to clean and back it up. And I found hours of footage of underage girls showing and using the toilet. If that's not messed up enough it was his daughter's and one acted as if she knew she was being filmed and enjoyed. 🤯 and they seemed like such a nice family.
Once I was working on a friend's then girlfriend's computer. She was a successful freelance graphics designer, when I opened the case I found the amount of dust in it was enough to mold itself into the negative shape of the inside of the computer, filling every space inside. Apparently she did not know it's a good idea to clean the computer.

@@AzzRushman I could only imagine she probably gonna keep doing this more often because no one would stop her and she need money after being kicked out. And you may not see your sister as super hot, but probably understand someone would consider her as super hot.
I remember a long time ago I saw something similar: a Mexican customer came in to the shop asking to fix the computer, he doesn't speak much English (important for later). The guy opened it up and there was lots of roaches, so he immediately close the case. When the customer came back, the only thing the repair guy was able to say was "fuego"(fire)
Burn that shit
I like how the guy went into someones search history and didnt expect for porn!
Most of these stories are ' i was curious so i checked his files' for no reason what so ever, imagine a room cleaner that checks through your stuff or a surgeon looks at your junk during an operation.
Anytime I’ve had a laptop break I just throw it out. Nobody is looking in there lmao
There are people who go for the parts of the laptops, such as screen, hard drive, and RAM, even if the laptop is kind of old. You can still sell or give away the laptops, even if they just plain won't turn on at all. Data still exists or the hard drive, or whatever storage device the laptops have, such as web browser sessions that contain login information for any sensitive sites. You never know if whoever has your discarded laptop that still has the storage device will be willing to screw with your digital life.
@@MMSCBF You can always take a hard drive out and punch a few holes in it with a hammer and a screwdriver.
@@Irene-gq4jr Or if you want to go more extreme, a few strikes of a sledgehammer! 😀
If you don't destroy the hard drive, drive hoarders at junk yards and mass shipments of used drives to China/Russia end up in sweatshops where they crawl through the data looking for credit card numbers and account details to sell on and use faudulently. Identity fraud is a billion dollar international business, don't be a victim - destroy your hard drives.

Almost every company has that one exec that keeps all their personal stuff on the company server where they think nobody can see it. lulz. The interesting things you find in those folders.

A guy brought me a computer to repair. The complaint was it was very slow, initial checks showed the hard drive was almost completely full. Whilst working on it, I found folders full of of videos. Turns out the guy was a janitor at the local high school and he'd set up hidden cameras in various 'strategic' places like the girls' restrooms and locker room. Contacted the authorities, of course, but the worst part of this was the heartbreak of having to tell the part-timer we had that there was a good chance this guy had video of her, because she was a junior at that high school. Another customer brought me a computer that wouldn't power up. I opened it up and dozens of bugs came scurrying out. Immediately plastic-bagged that thing up and called the customer to notify him that I wouldn't be repairing his machine, exactly WHY, and that he should come get this thing out of my shop. His reply? "Nah, just throw it back in the dumpster." Wait... BACK in the dumpster? You dug this out of a dumpster?! Ugh. I should have guessed, the guy was not exactly the model of personal hygiene anyway. Worked on a computer which, it turned out, was infected with a malware that changed the default dial-up connection (yes, the days of dial up) to an ISP in Sweden - at a rate of like $10/hr, plus international telco rates, all conveniently added to your local phone bill. Customer had NO idea, but that collection of file-shared porn and music (not to mention all her other internet activities) was gonna cost her plenty. Yes, HER. The culprit, though was actually her teenage son, who had, unbeknownst to here, installed like a half-dozen file sharing services. Not a stupid kid, either - he'd hidden his download directories fairly well so mama-san wouldn't know. Never a good day when you have to tell someone news like that.
