I’ve saved a few dozen kids (that I know of) from genital mutilation. I’m pretty happy with that, but it’s not exactly watercooler conversation.
A Playboy Playmate of the Month once asked ME out on a date.
I repainted the kitchen wall, fixed the stove, removed soot marks from everything and even got the burned pot cleaned after setting an accidental fire. My parents still don’t know. I was 14 :)
You saved the day for yourself there
I was able to reassemble my own pc, and get it working nicely after it messed up. I was so stressed I would break something. But I didn’t, and the difference in speed was crazy. I figured out that there were airflow problems, and there was so much dust.
Nice, that feels so good when you solve your own problem like that. I’ve opened my laptop many times before but I haven’t dealt with an actual desktop - I’d have the same fears as you
I feel like I’d be more scared with a laptop, because everything is smaller and more delicate. I don’t trust my hands with things that are too intricate.
I flashed ROMs every week for 5 years and never hardbricked a phone
Can you explain what this means?
Android phones have the Android OS from Google(or a modified version by the manufacturer of the phone).
We can install other unofficial versions of Android(modified by other people).Thid link maybe useful for understanding the term Flashing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmware#FlashingBut it is risky, as there is a chance that it can go wrong ‘brick’ your phone. It’s named so, because on failure, your phone may become unresponsive and would only be as useful as a brick or paper-weight.
There’s hard-bricking and soft-bricking, where the latter is used when the bricking can be fixed/reversed.This link maybe better at explaining than I am:
