just go buy another one, my dude

Fixing computers. Won't get you laid, won't get you paid.

Even though this is about something to do with an old Garmin nuvi, that totally qualifies as a computer because it's an electronic thing that calculates stuff.

Got a request to do something that I promptly ignored and decided to write this instead since that was a better use of my time.

The request was this:

I have an old nuvi. Take time out of your life to make a video to fix my nuvi problem, solely for my benefit even though you have no idea who I am since this is my first time communicating with you. Make absolutely certain to instruct very slowly, going through each step like leading along a little lost puppy dog, and be sure not to use any complicated words at all. And if I have any questions demands after that (and I sure will!), answer all those too, also very slowly and carefully. Yeah, I already asked AI before asking you, but that didn't help. Make my video now for free, and quick! KTHXBYE.

It's almost always the way when someone makes a request like the above is that it's for a screen that can be bought cheap on eBay right now.

In my mind, I'm thinking, "DUDE. If that nuvi screen you have doesn't work anymore and it's cheap to get a replacement, buy another one."

The screen that guy asked demanded me to make a video about could literally be replaced for under 30 bucks, shipped. I checked. Did he? Obviously not.

No, I will not fix your computer.
