Honestly, I'm not even sure what he's doing here. Who just plugs in a power supply without even looking at the wires coming out of it?

u/Catsrules Specs/Imgur here 21h ago

Not me.

But to be fair it was good thing he did that, who knows what kind power power/voltage would have been sent to the devices plugged into it.

Might be a good idea going forward.

Honestly, he didn't look too bothered 😂 He grabbed that shit bare handed and unplugged it 😭

You can buy/make test equipment pretty cheap to prevent short circuits like this. Or at least check for a short beforehand. A basic dim bulb tester would be a start. Then maybe a variable transformer if it's suspect.

Nah bro. If you live through the worst you aint afraid anymore. Unless you are a pussy of course and we just saw he aint one.

TIL people with PTSD are just "pussies"

u/Powerhouse_pr_ 16h ago

If you have PTSD for doing computer work or its trigger by something then you shouldn’t work on that.

I can’t imagine the Geeksquad members with PTSD for too many faulty PC components and still be working there. The entire assumption is dumbfounded.

Imagine a mechanic flinching like a fool because he pinch his finger mounting or unmounting stuff around. Its straight up dumb to think people who do this for a living are not used to it. Only people who live in a basement with no grasp of real life think this way.

u/Forgedpickle 23h ago

No, your thought process is much more aligned with someone who lives in a basement and no grasp on real life.

Touch grass

u/Xineth240 23h ago

Absolutely right, eventually the flinch becomes a squint cus it doesn't matter if it blows up, it's your job to test it

u/Powerhouse_pr_ 16h ago

Yep. There are too many clueless kids on this sub who have never touched grass.

If you live through the worst you aint afraid anymore.

Bullshit. I had to replace a Meta Quest controller once after an update killed it. Since then I am nervous every damn time that thing wants to update.

u/Powerhouse_pr_ 16h ago

Cool story bro. This is his job, not some customer faulty lemon situation that he needs to deal with once a year.

So you’re saying that someone who’s lived through being raped as a child is a pussy if they’re still afraid of being raped?

-1

u/Powerhouse_pr_ 16h ago

Raped by a PSU? Is that the logic here… just trying to understand your dumba$$ comparison or you are just one of those genZ clueless kids from now at days who don’t know the meaning of common sense.

u/Forgedpickle 8h ago edited 8h ago

You seriously need help kid. Judging by the way you speak I’m going to assume you don’t meet the age requirement for Reddit’s TOS.

u/WhiteNyxx 23h ago edited 23h ago

I have a pussy and this happened to me at work. Also cut out the power for 30% of the building. Noticed grab the cable in 2 seconds and yell from my office " sorryyy it's my fault"

' almost died ' it's an exaggeration tho

u/Xineth240 23h ago

Haha fantastic. Whoops. I've definitely done this 👀
