Follow-up on the Short I made regarding Gemini. I ended up manually making the form in MS Paint. Now if the problem was me not wording the prompt correctly, please prove me wrong by getting Gemini to make something like this. This form is meant to be filled out by hand, the empty spaces are needed for writing info in.
I’m not anti-AI, in fact I just gave my father a device that transcribes his doctor’s appointments and uses AI to create a summary that I can look at. THAT is a good use of AI.

Hypothetically, if I were to have a 84" first gen Microsoft Surface Hub, what should I do with it besides LS swap it?
Keep in mind the original motherboard is firmware locked so it can't be repurposed, but you CAN put it into "Replacement PC Mode" to use the 4K 120Hz display and the speakers...

Out of every video I've made, this one has the most potential to make an actual difference. Even though Right to Repair affects everyone, the average person hasn't been burned as much as technicians have. Right to OWN, however, has burned EVERYONE. Documenting this BS is the first step in actually getting something done.

8/31 UPDATE 2: Razer said the ticket response below was a mistake, they assigned me a dedicated support rep, and they DO have the battery. I will know the cost once I give them my info. Still ignoring all of my questions. WHAT IS GOING ON OVER THERE? All this wasted time when all they need to do is make replacement parts as easily purchasable as their overpriced USB-C cables.

8/30 UPDATE: Razer now says they actually DON'T have the battery, and are again saying to CONTACT A REPAIR SHOP. They ignored my question on why my "legacy" device is not listed under their "legacy device" page, but repeated their same talking point that it's a "legacy device". You can't make this shit up.


So let's break it down

8/18 - I ask for a battery
8/18 - They say we don't have one, ticket closed
8/28 - They open a new ticket unprompted, (10 days after I left my comment on Gamers Nexus channel), saying they actually DO have a battery
8/30 - I reply saying I will take the battery, and I AM A REPAIR SHOP.
8/30 - They respond saying "OOPS" they actually DON'T have the battery and to go to A REPAIR SHOP.
8/31 - They send ANOTHER email (unprompted) saying "Don't listen to the previous rep, we DO have the battery" and they assign me a dedicated rep for this case.

LAPTOPS AVAILABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

www.ebay.com/itm/127016178309

As a pilot program, we are currently listing a few Elitebooks on eBay to ship internationally.
This picture is what the shipping is going to cost you.
And yes, it's ridiculous, which is EXACTLY why we don't offer this service.

But I'm doing this to simply PROVE it so I can just copy and paste this post to the hundreds of people that don't understand economics but still DM me and comment about how I'm a bad person because I don't ship to their country where the import fees cost 90x the laptop.

We are using eBay shipping options because it handles all the Customs BS for us and clears us of liability if something goes wrong in transit, BUT it takes 13.6% of the final sale price, which, even accounting for "free labor" (me) to refurbish each device, puts us at a net loss for each laptop sold here.

So for everyone bugging me in the comments to ship to your country, here's your chance.

If it doesn't workout and these end up sitting, we're going to ditch International Shipping entirely.
If it does work and people actually purchase these, we will be putting up more laptops going forward.


Either way, it's worth a try to get some good laptops in the hands of people that need them.

If you've ever wondered how I ended up opening a computer repair shop inside a Subway Restaurant, what qualifications I have, and how I started this all, this is the video. Thank you guys so much for an amazing 2024. Hoping to make 2025 even better.

I honestly believe this is the funniest video I've ever made, while also being the most accurate representation of what an average day is like in the shop. I hope you guys enjoy it!
