No one’s commenting about how golden your post title is, so I wanted to.
Thank you, I was wondering if it would land.
See the PC cases in the background? That’s still the case I use to this day. It’s my fifth PC in it. I don’t know why I should change a case.
Dont. Its a hunk of metal to pretect the internal, standardized parts. As long as ATX doesnt change, im keeping my case
I was once hired to fix a computer. I told them that the fix would just be a simple reformat, and asked if they wanted me to back up any files.
they said no, they had backed everything up already. I asked if they wanted to take one last look through the system to make sure. They got huffy and told me to just take care of it already.
So I did.
then they asked me to restore their files.
it was a CD-R of hundreds of desktop links to programs, and even photos. no actual data. just links.
They were not happy when I explained it to them.
i can totally believe the story in Op’s picture to be one that actually happened.
Reminds me of my grandfather who thought the relative location of icons on the desktop would be reflected in the file manager. It was quite a struggle to explain to them that wasn’t one of the sorting options.
Sounds sensible to be honest. If you can rearrange icons on the desktop, and then you open the desktop folder, surely they should be arranged the same way unless chosen otherwise.
Why would you assume someone who required professional help to reformat a PC would have properly backed everything up?
You should have backed it up for them and then ransomed it back to them.
because they double checked and the customer got huffy about it
customer did this to themselves, OP tried to help them and was punished for it
