So I got a puncture and used fix-a-flat goop to limp home. Going to replace the tire and I'm here to ask:

How much tip do you gents (and perhaps ladies) appreciate for dealing with the goopy mess? US based in high COL area.

Think of a PC as a library.

The CPU is the librarian. The librarian does everything to manage the ongoing operations of the library. More librarians (more cores/threads) means more work can be done at once, but doesn't mean a specific task gets done faster. A faster librarian (faster core) can do tasks faster, but what makes a librarian faster? There's raw speed (GHz), so think of our poor librarian on a lot of caffeine. Then there's technique (IPC), so an experienced librarian knows a better way to do the task so it takes less time. Of course you can only rush so much before errors creep in.

In fact, our working relationship dramatically improved ever since I flat out told her I am here for her technical needs, not for moving her office furniture.

Pausing the livestream, I saunter over to check out her problem.

Her: "Also it's complaining about primary partition out of storage. What does that mean?"
Me: "It means you need to delete some things from your harddrive. It's full."
Her: "Ok, how do I check how much I've used?"
