I don't know why, but I just randomly started doing things on my own instead of paying for services to fix them. My pops never taught me how to do stuff like this.

I started opening up my computer more and learning how to solve problems out of necessity through youtube videos and just using searching google for any problems that i had. I replaced my hard drive on my own which is extremely easy. I used to get intimidated by things like this, but I'm starting to learn. I just built a few dressers and a closet too. I always get fukkin heated and frustrated because I always run into a problem that irks the hell outta me. I eventually find a solution and ask a professional as a last resort. The feeling of accomplishment is great though.

Just did a job today with the closet that a video said takes two hours. took me a whole fukkin 24 :mjlol: i'm still kinda pissed about it because it is not completely done. I had to stop by home depot 4 times in a span of 6 hours due to unforeseen circumstances.

Now my fukkin wifi connection is HORRIBLE and PISSING ME THE fukk OFF and i suspect it's the wifi-card in my computer that needs to be replaced. My next goal is to open that bytch up and replace it myself :birdman:

Word little projects like this are fun. Getting ya hands dirty and being like ā€œI built thatā€ rather than ā€œI paid someone to do thatā€.

Building a computer is easy, I thought growing up it was some hard azz shyt. A 10 year old could build a PC.

You can just buy a USB wireless antenna and disable the other one. No need to go through opening laptop. Unless you wanto.

You might want to check for the latest drivers.

Op thinking that fixing WiFi is a big deal lol
the wifi CARD aka airplane card inside your computer dumbass

I learned how to change my brakepads back in 04-05 using instructions from the internet, when you realize how easy it is compared to how much shops charge you will never look at mechanics the same.
I haven't even moved onto my car yet :lupe:
