#but he didn't and i was sadly never able to figure it out 😔

[love-fireflysong]

I am a technology genius.

Is this about getting my ps4 hdd fixed and getting all my save data back? Unfortunately no (that is still I lost cause I suspect). Is this about taking apart my computer mouse entirely cause the scroll wheel was scrolling erratically? Why yes it is!

And guess who’s scrolling smoothly once again 😎

#did i just follow a youtube tutorial for literally all of it? #um obviously #but the fact of the matter is that i fixed it #god i love doing stuff like that #the software and hardware components of tech is so fun to me #had a unit in highschool once where we were taught to build our own motherboard and solder all the pieces on #and i loved every second of it #was so fucking cool #learning the software portion in uni and how the computer calls to the motherboard and how to draw that was also super interesting #and don't even get me started on the math classes #boolean algebra was the first time i really struggled understanding math in a very long time #so when i finally figured it out after doing some extra practice questions i was so proud of myself #only unit i hated was probability but that wasn't a surprise #i know its important and useful to know but ive hated it ever since middle school lol #sql and java were fun to learn and i probably would have like c if the instructor had actually known how to teach #but he didn't and i was sadly never able to figure it out 😔 #and even though i will def def def never get into website development cause css and html and javascript were my least fav languages #the knowledge i retained from that course did at least help me when i had to create my own little texting thing in ao3 #only classes i legitimately hated was communications and business #god i wanna go back to university for computer science again so bad #i wanna program video games baby! #make those physics engines and tear my hair out over bugs and errors so bad #one day #one day ill go back and live my computer nerd dreams #am i chris hartley irl? #absolutely not #i just share his fascination with tech and programming and its a big reason why he's one of my fav characters obvs
