Shoutout to the guy who brought in a PC that smelled like a wet dog

Last Thursday, this client walks in with a tower that was making a weird buzzing sound. I opened it up and found about a pound of cat hair and dust bunnies clogging the fan and heatsink, plus a dead roach. The smell was unreal. I spent over an hour just cleaning it before I could even start the actual diagnostic. Has anyone else had a machine so dirty it became a biohazard?

That "throwaway culture" thing is so real. My neighbor just tossed a perfectly good microwave because the door latch was sticky.

Man, that's just how people treat everything they own now. It's like we're in a throwaway culture where no one fixes or cleans anything. They just use stuff until it breaks and then buy a new one. That mindset is why we see computers full of bugs and pet hair. It's a little sad, honestly.
