I work for an IT company, and we have both business and public clients. Today I got a callout from a new business client who was saying that their PCs were shutting down all the time and wanted the problem fixed. Unfortunately I can't post actual photos for legal reasons, but pic related is essentially what I found in one of them.

Tell me about your IT horror stories or just post tech gore.

Also seen pic related quite a few times. And crickets the size of my hand, i didn't even know they get this big in slavlands. Laptop that cats peed on.

As for business clients, i think everywhere's the same. Someone fucks with cables, someone gives out passwords they're weren't supposed to, someone performs a heimlich maneuver to get rid of a paper jam and acts surprised if you tell them how fucked the printer is.

Best business based one I had was when they were having server issues. Turned out one of the new guys thought one of the server boxes was running too hot and poured water into it.

people like you are the only people that clean them. normies working in those places do not touch them and usually they will call someone else and tell its broken when its just not turned on.

Usually through the fan grating. They get in, then get electrocuted and burn the thing out. It leaves a huge mess. Also had a nest if cockroaches so bad that they had started eating away at the motherboard.

I have something similar, and its my personal computer
Clenaning means nothing

I blame people who leave their machines on the floor.
It's called a DESKtop people. Desk TOP. The optimal placement is in the name!

Work at an aggregate processing yard. Got a half dozen of Optiplexes still running well with a good quarter of an inch of dust on all the internals, about once a year we hook the air gun to the compressor and blow them clean.

Helped a small business with their internet connectivity issues. Huge wasp nest was in one of the network switches causing it to overheat and shut off and I wasn't in the business of getting stung so I told them it was faulty, stuck it in a travel bag to take home. Forgot about it on the train but luckily nothing else was in the bag. Someone got themselves a nice $50 bag and a $300 switch... and about 15 angry wasps.

We've had few desktops from some construction company in similar condition. You'd expect them to at least short circuit, yet they were fine.
Makes me wonder how much of a meme all the "mil-spec" hardware really is.
