You're a cuck

Don't disrespect farmer trump

What were the specs?

Never ever help normies with tech problems unless you are paid for it AND make sure that they know the following:
"The moment you start the computer and everything works, my work is done. Every problem from now on is not related to me and most likely your fault. If you run into problems and want me to fix it, you pay for it."

Also, never built for friends, unless they really know what they want.

Also, never work in germany... It's a pain. I had clients call me 2 years after I build their system just, telling me how I fucked everything up and that the stuff is much cheaper now.

Or that everything is so slow now and it must be my fault.

Or that they don't need that much power, if I can downgrade and give them some money back (as if i own the fucking hardware!).

Working in germany showed me one thing, if you do ANY service related job, they expect you to be their bitch. But that's a completely different story...

when Germans criticize you they are trying to bond with you thats how they make friends

It's your fault for not being clear.

>live in a nation full of race cucks
>someone acts like a cuck
>surprised

>working service jobs, ever

after doing that for 3 years i never want to go back
i'll sell everything i have before i do that again

>be confident
>be assertive
>provide reasonable prices for services
>explain details clearly and plainly
>expect push-back when dealing with strangers

If you know what the fuck you're doing and you explain that you're not a cheap whore they will either leave you alone or you get fucking money. I made $1k off a couple for backin up their data, telling them what new computer to buy, and setting up their new computer. I laid out the plan, and I expected to be compensated for my time and effort knowing what I know. This one was one of many success but I can you fags I've failed one hundred times over more than you have tried.

The only advice I have is to set up an adblocker and install any free software they might want before giving them the computer to minimize how badly the fuck it up.

>"friend" was using Vista and an ancient AMD driver
>updated it to the latest version
>youtube videos stopped working but I had to leave, turned off flash hw acceleration fixed it
>some days later he told me that I didnt know that you have to install multiple video drivers and that I dont know anything about technology at all

OP here I'm back,

>Friend buys a computer, he picks out the specs and everything
>He has me come over and build it and show him what I'm doing
>I do it
>Finish the build
>Can't set it up yet cause the monitor isn't shipped yet
>Couple days later
>"user wtf dude you messed something up it's running slow as shit"
>Alright lemme take a look at it
>Get to his house
>Take one look at the PC
>"Dude you plugged the monitor into the onboard graphics"
>Switch it to GPU
>Make him apologize
>Leave

cuck

i was once asked how to build laptops.

i once asked what they wanted their specs to be and they answered 'don't care as long as it's pink'

both were females

>if you do ANY service related job, they expect you to be their bitch

moral of the story here, folks

just say no

t. former servicefag

Same here, 3 years web host support waiting for my last 3 shifts.

very true. either let them feel like they know better and take the money or stand up for yourself and dont debase yoself for the cash there is no middleground

Never do tech help for free.
Always charge money.
Worst case scenario is that they give you money.
Although if they stop paying, stop helping.

>52 year old uncle tries to convince me my new build is his old computer
>tells me to give it back
>throws a shitfit and tells his mum (my grandma) on me when i dont
>grandma doesnt tolerate his shit and she apologises to me
>he sits in the car blasting ac/dc until they leave
