OK..news from the "involuntary admin" front.
Infos I had from my partners mother:
"I can do nothing on my laptop any more. There's always a message 'no permission' when I try X or Y. And it said deleting cookies may help so I tried. But something went wrong and I was afraid to continue"
What I saw when I checked the laptop:
- Firefox icon in task bar and desktop blank
- Chrome icon in task bar and desktop blank
- Virus scanner icon in task bar and desktop blank
- All 3 programs didn't start although OS said they are installed
What they saw in my face:
"How the bloody hell..... wtf.. ??"
It took me 50 minutes to reinstall the 3 programs on her 2 core 4GB Win8.1 machine while the 5400rpm HDD swapped for its life.
And another 20 minutes to make her Gmail account accessible again without her remembering the password and not having a recovery mail set.
You know.. Time is my most precious resource. And just because someone doesn't care about how long a laptop needs to start a webbrowser because he/she can do the dishes in the meantime and therefore don't wants to buy new hardware doesn't mean that I feel the same while fixing other peoples problems.
So..to all customers of FamilyAdmin Inc. who might read this:
From this moment on my willingness to help you out depends on your hardware.
>= 16cores 64GB RAM: buy me a coffee
< 4 cores 8GB RAM: you better sell your house to compensate my pain
