People Share Their Wonderful Fails From the Electronics World

According to some estimates, a quality IT professional working in my city is going to make, on average, nearly 100k per year.

That’s more than three times the national median income at the time of writing, putting it at quite a nice industry to get into.

And why are they paid so much? Well, mostly because we live in a world where computer systems are now vital to every single facet of society. And partially because they have to put up with a LOT of dumb crap. Like, a LOT.

It’s no wonder so many of them take to Reddit to complain about it.

10. Power to the people

That’s a USB cable plugged into a SATA power port.
Your drive is…not gonna work.

9. Just in case

I’m thinking you might have one or two heat issues there.

8. Biggest brother

You get what you pay for, but you also get what you set up.

7. Charging in

Come on y’all you had ONE job to do.

6. RAM it in

Building my first PC, this was my worst nightmare.

5. Monitor the situation

For those in the back, that’s an HDMI cable just awkwardly jammed into VGA port.
Cables aren’t magic.

4. My baby

I’ve got some very bad news about your child.

3. A quick look

Who in the actual WORLD is still using something like this?
And HOW?

2. Switch things up

Oh, cool, the stuff of nightmares.

1. Dirty jobs

Nature is healing.

I think I have a much better understanding now of why they make so much money.
