Yes and no! It’s a difficult initial process if you have no idea but becomes extremely easy once you know how PCs work.
Knowing how to diagnose problems is I feel a more difficult part. It’s more complicated than knowing “These parts go there and have cables that connect to the CPU switch, main power and hard drives” because cables and parts, to a huge degree, can only fit where they belong.
I imagine in the line of PC repair work you’ll encounter much more complicated issues and often multi-part damage. Also probably a lot of filth, I heard most normal people NEVER clean their PCs, change Thermal Paste or even let some nasty bugs accumulate in their PC.
Bonus points for if it’s a laptop instead of a PC. Their tight compact nature makes repairing them hell I’d imagine. BONUS bonus points if you’re working on an outdated PC who’s parts you can’t just easily swap out.
Recently took apart and repaired a broken clothes washer that I couldn’t afford to replace at the moment so I feel this same sense of dopamine hitting.
Something called a chimichanga in my neck of the woods. You can get one smothered or dry. You can even get one stuffed with fruit and covered with sweet and spicy sauces
My life goal was to live in a house in the woods, support myself on 30 hours of work per week at the most, have 2 cats and a wood stove.
I mean the house is small (60 square meters of living space), I rent it, I have to use the wood stove for heating cause I can’t afford gas, and my retirement plan is to die in the climate wars, but hey, I made it.
They tell you that the sky might fall They’ll say that you might lose it all So I run until I hit that wall Yeah I learned my lesson, count my blessings Look to the rising sun and run run run
To keep your sanity you just have to lower your expectations.
I, for example, am really stoked for the burrito I ordered. Fuck, it’s good to be alive.
I’m stoked about having learned how to repair PCs in my last 6 hour hyperfixation, and then actually fixing two PCs.
Is it hard? I’ve built several PCs and repair seems like a good line of work for me, but I know nothing about the individual components of the parts

Oh man, that’s the good shit right there! Ride that dopamine wave.
I am! I am also sleep deprived lmaooo.
First time in years though I felt genuinely content with my life and it’s over something as insignificant as this!

Feels good lol
You ever had a deep fried burrito? That shit is life changing and good enough reason for me to keep going.
Ever had a wet burrito with melted cheese on top and inside?
If you had written “hot burrito with melted cheese on top and inside”, i would be craving it now.
I was eating one while typing it, lol. Thanks taqueria de anda for providing me with my wet burritos when I get the munchies.
Ok now i want a wet one too

Did health insurance figure into your life plan or do you live somewhere where the government functions properly?
The latter. Health insurance is something I simply don’t need to worry about.
Considering they said “60 square meters of living space,” I’m going with option b
As someone who ate a burrito a few hours ago, I am no longer stoked
They tell you that the sky might fall
They’ll say that you might lose it all
