    jerk? sure (cause i have heard that "advice just as often as things havent worked, to me its about the same as "have you tried turning it off and on again?", could i have been nicer about it? sure but at this point im so over it) but cocky? i know a dumb bitch and run of the mill advise, while good intentioned doesn’t make it helpful, granted i also havent shared more than it just not working (which is really all there is to it)

    no, my hardware is fine, it works perfectly and doesnt have any issues anywhere else

    no, my config is fine, cause im not stupid enough to go anywhere near any kind of config that could break anything, i dont touch that stuff, cause there is no reason
