Everyone’s saying their age , I’m 11 , I’m a huge tech nerd , and this was great for listening to sleep !
I'm going to use this to teach my mum. I hope it goes well as she's not an English speaker and I have to translate terms that may not exist in my language. Thank you so much.
27:23 When doing this make sure the fans don't spin while spraying. It can cause the fan to generate electricity into the electronics and fry them if they are poorly shielded. Make sure they stay still when spraying.
This teaching style is next level!
No matter how long you've been using computers or anything for that matter, ignoring the basics is just pride. Even though I've used computers since the VIC-20 in 1984 at 7, I always come away with new info I may have needed by listening to the basics again.
