Thank you to everyone who made a purchase on eBay via our affiliate link at rossmanngroup.com/ebay for helping support this type of content. Your viewership is appreciated and as always, I hope you learned something!
Louis, I really enjoy your videos, even though I'm older. ;) Your videos are full of great logical and practical info for ALL generation to take note of. When I was in my 20's I've struggled for many years to build up a successful business similar to yours, so I can really sympathize with the trials and tribulations of running daily operations you present on your channel.
You made a totally wrong answer here 22:28 Dick - known as a penis. Penis is the primary sexual organ that male animals use to inseminate sexually receptive mates (usually females and hermaphrodites) during copulation.
Thank you! Very well said. I grow tired of the generation that expects something for nothing. I have to laugh when kids leave school and expect a salary and office like mine. Never mind I’ve been busting my ass for 20 years to get there. Great work and I have learned so much watching your videos. Take care!
I enjoy your videos. I'm a tech for above ground hot tubs. I deal with similar people like you do. My question is, what do you say to people who says "your prices are too expensive" I get that once in a while, and at times I felt like giving a rude answer like " you called my to fix your spa because you don't know how, or you paying for the convenience of having me come to your home, diagnose the problem, come up with a solution to the problem, and fix the problem" How do you handle a situation like that. Thanks you are actually someone I look up too now.
I'm gonna be frank about this, I have almost no idea how to perform most of these things you perform, I find them really complicated to accomplish, but rather entertaining to watch. But most of all I watch you for the way you talk and your attitude in general. I think you're a stand-up guy and I like you for that. So thanks for everything. I hope you can see this comment even if this video is old, because I just found out.
I've been watching for a couple months now. If Apple ever won and videos get removed, I'll start downloading them as day as I can. You're doing great Louis, just get some sleep every once in a while.
Someone I went to school with, he decided to hack my Amazon account and commit insurance fraud, he used his card, but felt that because his monitor that was a b grade panel had a dead pixel that he would call up and say it wasn't even in the box, he felt that they owed him a perfect monitor and tried to get one free. He made the mistake of telling me and I decided to call up, all I know is that his card was banned, don't know if he was ever fined or taken to court over it
You can't possibly agree with everything he said here. The issue he framed his entire argument around was exactly the opposite of what he then goes on to rail against. He claims that people of a certain undefined age feel entitled to things they did not earn. Then he sites the letter written by the Oberlin student. ...But in the letter Louis goes on to read the student Louis declaims for feeling "entitled to something they didn't earn" that student doesn't ask for or seek to gain anything for themselves. That student says specifically they are perfectly happy to take the final. HELLO? How can this person be demonstrating a sense of being entitled to something, when they very specifically and repeatedly state they are not asking for anything for themselves? Did you just not think your comment through? Did Louis not? I'm honestly asking because you both seem completely ridiculous in citing this student as an example of entitlement. None of that means I think the students should have gotten out of their exam Lastly, I don't think the issue with people not utilizing the resources provided to them a millennial phenomenon. There are people who behave this way at all age ranges, I deal with 40-50 year olds like this all the time. I personally would say they are worse at least the ones I deal with, because they are less comfortable with technology and they're not likely read a forum or watch a youtube video or use deep google vodo track down the answer to a problem.
I know this video is old, but I actually fear the day you decide that the work required for these videos isn't worth it. What this channel has done for me is immeasurable, not just via tech knowledge either, but also life lessons. Despite growing up with a completely different background than you, you've somehow managed to make all of your videos relatable. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. I appreciate that you feel that the fraction of your audience that genuinely value what you do, are worth it.
djole94hns I was just helping you make your point. :-P I've always been quite intuitive and I am great in the process of investigation, so I guess Sherlock is a good name for me. (Obvious sarcasm.)
If you really want to see someone that's easily triggered, go to a place with a bunch of Linux fanboys and tell them why Ubuntu is better than Arch in every way possible. You'll get stabbed. LOL :) They may reconsider with the official change to the Gnome UI, instead of the much hated Unity.
Louis, I am in my late 40's. I have struggled for years to learn electronics. Since I was 14 I wanted to be an electronics technician but I couldn't understand the complicated electronics books. I felt like a complete and useless idiot. I have seen your videos and have learned more in the past few months than I have in my 47 years in existence. I was a horrible student and thought I was pretty much useless. I want to thank you for changing my life. I'm finally able to understand electronics. I never thought I would be able to actually understand and grasp the idea of board repair. You are undoubtedly one of the best instructors that I've had. I am very interested in attending the class, maybe in the next few months. Thank You so much for all your hard work and putting in the late hours to post and edit these videos!
Exactly! My engineer friend keeps throwing me formulas. Yeah - I get it - it's all based on formulas. But there are other ways to learn this stuff, and I find Louis' method a lot more helpful for getting the concepts! And the ranting? Shoot - it's entertaining because it's *real!* He's thinking out loud as he works, and that is what is super helpful for we bystanders. :)
Louise, I gave you call this past week concerning a dead 2010 MacBook Pro and I must say that your honesty and recommendation to my problem was greatly appreciated. Your the real deal, and I thank you and your team for that. Brian from Montreal.
After my motorcycle accident, I still took my law school finals with a catheter still in my urethra and a piss bag strapped to my leg. Pardon me if I don't cry about these kids "trauma", lol! :)
+Riaan de Beer Hmmm... I was ready to give another answer but yours brought a bigger perspective. I see your point. My original point was that in my country universities are state-run. If you work hard they're free, but you can also enroll by paying. However, I feel it's normal that even if you do pay they don't owe us anything. Now, were I incapacitated to take a test - parent died, broke up with girlfriend etc. - it's on me to simply fail the exam and be ready next time. But it's on me. I've had issues with my generation. When 3-4 exams were supposed to be scheduled, people were LIVID that someone dared schedule two of them in consecutive days. I mean, it's the professor's right to schedule it (by consulting with a head student) whenever he wants, as long as it's not at the exact time that another one was previously scheduled. It's not his concern that you have a minimum of two days between exams. But my colleagues felt entitled to their best comfort...
+theistus I hear that! I worked for 4 weeks as a petroleum technician with an PIC line up to my heart and IV antibiotics surging in to me. My daughter is 16. She's worked in our concession setup and managed it by her self....at 16. She applied at McDonalds and the only reason they didn't make her a manager was because she was 16. I refuse to raise a noodle-spined brat with this entitlement disease.
People don't even understand that conversing is a means of exchange. You are putting so much effort into sharing your knowledge and values, thanks dude.
Screw all of them.!!! Louis you're awesome.!!! You've taught me a lot !!! I'm 55 now & I've been a Techie since the mid 80s. I owe you a lot.!!! Thnx 👍
I don't fix computers but I watch your videos to learn how you think and get your perspective on misc things and it has taught me how to be a more confident and smarter person. Thanks man.
Agree. I've got 2 masters in electrical eng. and electronics eng. I don't know your techniques, equipment, etc. If I'd like to learn how to repair laptops thou, your channel would be a way to learn directly from a professional for free. Invaluable. This was not possible 20 years ago, when people had to bed for such occasion. Respect to you, Sir.
Here is one who appreciates what you do. I am trained in electronics but the job changed from component level repairs and recalibrating on high end test equipment and telecom equipment to just pull the box out and put in a new one instead of replacing a relay that allows an alarm when ac has failed or the battery isn’t charging. The job has lost its challenge. You have given me hope that my old skills can be re-energised. Thank you
Love the straight forward honesty Louis,your refreshing for a Millennial ! I enjoy and appreciate your channel ! I'm an ex New Yorker that went to school for electronics 38 years ago !
You are by far the most rational person doing this stuff with the possible exception of D. Jones doing this stuff. Thanks and fyi, you have inspired me to do repairs. Sometimes even succeeding! Thanks Louis.
You have best possible don't-give-shit-but-help-you-anyways attitude. First time i watched your videos i was shocked of your attitude, now i love that same attitude.
I totalled my car on the way to a lab meeting. My dad came right to the accident site, gave me his keys, and told me to go. I got there half an hour late, and stayed an extra hour to make up for it. The problem isn't necessarily the millenials themselves, but I think it has to do with the older generations who failed to instill discipline. As an immigrant child, I was raised by parents who worked their assess off day and night every single day to provide for me, which managed to rub off on me. We need more parents and role models who value hard work and striving for excellence over the pursuit for success/fame/fortune.
Had a sick car before i was due to go on holiday dad said use mine and run it in whilst your 'e at it came back with 3000 miles on the clock and he'd had mine fixed.
I really enjoy your channel. I have ... Nothing to complain about! And sincerely appreciate you showing these awesome tutorials . Quite honestly I don't understand people bitching you have a certain style I enjoy and I like how u have a no BS approach . What you show alone is priceless and I follow along passionately to learn as much as possible and im sure will really appreciate not just now but the future as well!
Honestly I'm really only here because the life lessons, watching people repairing boards is oddly satisfying and the personality you have. Those 3 things were enough to make me watch this for entertainment and learn some stuff from it, hope ye keep making videos for a long time.
I'm sorry that there's people out there that treat you this way. I am very grateful for the time and effort you put into these videos. You seem like a fair and honest man and have the right too be annoyed at these people. I appreciate the videos. Please keep up the good work.
I am offended by your reluctance to recognize my divine entitlement. You owe me for the privilege of daring to exist in my sight. I will look forward to receiving the check promptly. I must go now as I am late to my Gender-Studies College Course. At least they will recognize that I am entitled to be late once I explain how triggered your video made me.
I only recently discovered your channel but I am blown away by all the extremely good content you have. Eli made a "generous donation" of his whiny subscribers but I decided to check out what your content is. Eli makes sure to keep giving no matter what. Thank you so much for everything that you do Louis.
I for one really appreciate the willingness and effort you put in to making these vids. I haven't been following you long, but I've already gained a great deal of information. I've got a dead computer I've wanted to get fixed, and now that I'm learning what to look for, I'm about to start trying to figure it out my self.
Thank god someone said it. I have a lot of appreciation for this resource being available. I work full time, I have 4 kids, I do not have a lot of money available to buy the tools I want, but this channel has been motivating and empowering me to start building my toolkit and hopefully starting to make some more money with the knowledge that I have amassed over the years. I have started to piece together my own fx-951 soldering station based on your recommendations.I have asked you questions on your channel and received nothing but respect and good information in response. Keep doing what you do, I love your channel, and I appreciate the information that you are making available for free now that was impossible to find before.
I appreciate you mate. In fact i have been binge watching your channel for last two days. Highly educational and extremely entertaining at the same time. Please don't stop sharing.
Somewhere along the line the workforce turned from craftsmen to labor. That mentality, is a huge factor in why things are the way they are now. It is a training of a workforce, that will do exactly what you want, when you say "jump". "Well you should do what I want because I have money and you need my money". No. I need quality relationships. People forget that business, is a trade of needs. A client has something I want, and I have something they want. What should be cultivated is good relationships, not money. Money will come, through experience and quality of work. That's how you build a name. But, names don't mean very much any more. And that has some to do with the throw away culture with superficial attitudes.
I found your channel by accident searching for information on how to repair old video game consoles for fun. Now, I see someone 10 steps ahead of me and it has me intrigued me to learn more. I get free information and what do I owe you other than a simple "Thank You"? Screw these idiots. Keep doing what you're doing.
I an American. However, I teach at a university here in Thailand - because I don't have to put up with kids who are entitled jerks. You are a very good person and most generous. Thank you.
+PlayngThai2 Our grandparents stormed the beaches of Normandy. Our kids "like" their friends getting revenge-porned. (Fortunately, my nieces and nephews turned out okay. One was voted nicest person in her school.)
+rainmakerman71 Ack! I may have spoke too soon. My nephew -- "the smart one" -- hasn't been able to get a job in his field and has been hiding at his brother's apartment so as not to get nagged into being responsible and take a lesser job. Oh, well. At least he's still nice.
I want to say I appreciate you, I enjoy your videos, honestly I don't know why people would not like you, you say it how it is, and I enjoy learning from you. So thank you!
Its sad that most if not all college students believe they are entitled. You are awesome that you give freely your time to teach and help people. There needs to be more folks like you in the world. It would be a lot better place.. Im new watching your channel, I'm 62 years old, 90% of the time I have zero clues as to what you are talking about, but I am learning and it amazes me that I am.. Thank you for your time sir.
I don't think I'll be doing board repairs as a career but I still watch your videos, particularly your talks. I've learnt a lot. I quit my engineering job 2 years ago to attempt to make it own my own. Not successful at the moment. thank you for sharing your wisdom. Just wanted to share my appreciation.
Hey Louis. What temperature do you use your soldering iron at? I'm glad you made this video. God it is so true. And I get that it seemed like we were jumping up and down on that guy the other day, so this really puts that into context. I was watching Mark Shaffer's brand new UA-cam channel the other day, which I know will be fantastic over time. He posted a link on a forum of a video he made. A dozen or so questions pop right up. I can see the enthusiasm in his answers. And it made me sad because I know that he will undergo the inevitable metamorphosis from enthusiasm to fatigue. I have withdrawn from a lot of the forums I used to really enjoy. I will be interested to see what happens with a few paid videos. You're right---if you paid $5 to watch this content, then it better be good. My hope is that paid content will both motivate me to keep the video edited, on topic, and organized. While also weeding out bogus entitlement. If you've paid $5, you are in fact entitled to ask a question about the video and deserve an answer--no resentment required. It is my hope to turn the clock back and recapture Mark's enthusiasm. Plus, a paid video that answers the common questions is a great way to stop all the repetitive typing while answering them---just point to the video. If the asker really wants to know, then pay up, bro. If not, then feel free to go dig up the answer on your own, it's around here somewhere. I'm excited to see how this works out....
Jessa that's FANTASTIC idea I will be buying every single video and would do the same for louis...... I know he says it should be free but I disagree you guys deserve the money!
Louis Rossmann I have always suspected that by you offering these videos people would be annoyed. By doing so it makes it hard to get answers for your own questions which impacts your business so offering paid videos would at the very least compensate for that. Maybe like Jessa a free and paid list of videos? Just a thought...
I am with Louis. We have been doing this for many years and we are happy to point people to Louis Russmann's video's when we are doing the same or similar work. These videos inform people and the fact is most are going to be happy to pay when they see the knowledge, experience and work that goes into this kind of work. Transparency is quite a good idea and good people appreciate these videos. i am always open to new ways of doing things. Good work Louis.
I read in one of your videos a comment saying 'i like to just listen". Well, i really did it. Today while i was driving i did not have the time to watch thus i played the video and throw my phone on front passenger seat and kept listening while i was driving home. True stuff louis
major respect man, not pandering to the haters and sticking to your principals. Good on ya, not afraid to call out the viewers who don't really get it. I recently started watching your stuff and within just days I feel like I've learned so much already. I may be 22 but i feel like 9 year old Louis figuring it all out for the first time, and for this wonderful resource I commend and applaud you. Thanks Louis for making the videos you make and being so outspoken
Hey Louis, I recently found your channel and I would like to tell you that I completely agree with you regarding economics and business ethics. The millennial issue is something I always see first hand, being a college student. You do an amazing job with your videos, and I greatly appreciate it.
You have inspired me to learn how to run the hot-air rework station that nobody knows how to use at my work. I have no intent to pester you about temps, flow rates, tips, or techniques. I fully plan to just grab dead boards, slather them in flux, and ... learn. As you always recommend.
This is the only decent channel for repairing macbook logic boards. There are some videos on UA-cam which has videos for repairing logic boards but half of it is garbage. Your videos have helped me out i can't stand people who moan about people uploading videos to help other people. Don't take no notice of them idiots they just moan about everything. would like to say Thank you for your videos they helped me out repairing logic boards myself. Your videos are trust worthy unlike some of the videos which are on youtube. Thats all i got to say really but seriously louis don't let them piss you off. i enjoy watching your videos to repair a macbook logic board or just to watch your videos to pass the time. all the best bro.
23:30 This is the same with software development, you can learn to program overnight. BUT, to actually know what the hell you're doing (and do it properly) it takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Good channel, good video - you've got my respect my man.
Thank you for being one of the people who share knowledge for free. I honestly only watch your videos because I like your attitude and you're pretty damn funny most the time lol, and well... I like watching your craft- I personally am not doing this myself. But hey, it's nice to KNOW this stuff and I'm glad someone like you is sharing this for free for idiots like me, and those who actually who are gonna out this knowledge to practice. Thank you again and have a great day. I hope you keep doing what you do. My dad always said the quote "knowledge is power" so I appreciate you sharing that power.
I totally agree with your point of view, When your videos come out I think to myself "I get to watch this". I can't even wrap my head around the mentality of people who think anyone should do anything for them for free. I really like the point you put out where it's easier to deal with people just a little older or a little younger then our generation, it's a sentiment I can echo myself.
I really enjoy listening to your videos. Like, I'm over here doing my thing and you're over there doing your thing, just talking. Chilling and talking.
What temperature do you use on your Soldering iron? What microscope do you use? What Ultrasonic do you use? What kind of fluid do you use in your Ultrasonic? What temperature do you use on your Soldering iron? What temperature do you use on your Soldering iron? What temperature do you use on your Soldering iron?

As a 35 year old I completely agree that those ten years my junior have this arrogant attitude towards people. I suggest that this sense of entitlement may stem from a cultural change of attitude viz. content and distribution. All music, film, game content etc is viewed as free to download. Even hardware is dirt cheap through hand me downs and credit card culture. When I was a teenager I had to work and save for my stuff, sometimes for months if I wanted a new TV or monitor. Today many of this generation expect the world to owe them a living, and they should have a 'right' to the latest gear!
+JonnyInfinite As someone who is 38, I can tell you that fifteen to twenty years ago, people your age and mine had the same attitude towards me that you now have towards the youth of today. The previous generation got their University education for free in the UK, Millenials have to take out loans of £9000 per year, I guess when you're paying for your education, you want every break you can get. We live in a time when the youth of today actually do have it harder than previous generations and, at least in the UK, have a government that seems to want to make it harder, while keeping this current generation of pensioners, the ones who prattle on about how spoilt Millenials are, to the life to which they're accustomed, full of perks that they get purely because they're old. Mind you, the youth don't help themselves, they're the ones not voting. A young mother made the news because she didn't know who David Cameron, our Prime Minister, is.
+GeoNeilUK I can see your point but I see this attitude more and more, I think you can draw a direct link to the riots and looting a couple of years ago in the UK to this instant gratification culture engendered by hyper-commercialism and the extreme narcissistic tendencies exacerbated by social media and the base entertainment of celebrity worship. People have forgotten how to have fun and be human beings, without coming across as hyperbolic, I think many of those under 30 have a real issue, I kind of pity them..
+JonnyInfinite there goes that under 30 bullshit. more like 25 and under because the closer you get to 30, the more you grow and understand. "people under 30" you just condemned someone who is 29, like their is any difference between 29 and 30. like everything changes in a snap when it 30. that "under 30" or "over 30" is such baby boomer bullshit and needs to go
Donald Trump is a fucking dumb ass that should not be in office and should be takin out so we don't have to look at him or hears is stupid ass anymore ;)
You are the greatest philosopher of our generation. I'm the sole IT guy for my medium-sized company, and my office is across the hall from our HR manager. More than once I've had entitled "children" my age have their moms drop off applications at my door when HR is out. Holy crap! Grow up Nancy! ... I just write "NO!" on a post-it and slip it under HR's door.
As you were reading this, I was sitting here telling myself that if I were the professor, I'd have given him one of those arm flapping, "fuck you"s that you do all the time. Cracks me up every time you do it. lol I personally feel so many black Americans (not African Americans, AMERICAN Americans, just as American as you me and everyone else here) are poor and living in poverty because so many people are constantly telling them that this country is so racist that you'll never find a job, so don't even bother trying, just take the government handout and be happy. And then we also started this Affirmative Action crap, where we then say to them, look, since we are so racist here, and your people have been so mistreated for so long, you are entitled to get into this school for no reason other than your skin color, regardless of the fact that your grades aren't as good as the requirements, regardless of the fact that others who have a different skin color put in much more effort and time, and got better grades, you get in. The same ends up happening for jobs after college. We are basically telling a decent chunk of our population that hard work does nothing for them, and what are the results? The projects, plain and simple. This kind of crap ruins peoples lives, and keeps generations of people poor and struggling when in all honesty, if they went out and seriously tried to get a job, they would have one, and then they would be able to support themselves and their families, live in nicer houses in the suburbs instead of cramming a family or 4-6 in a one or two bedroom apartment, you can go to any school you want, and the list goes on. But instead of economic freedom, they end up rotting in government housing. I find it morally wrong to do this to people.
I love your content, even your rants. I often watch it just to chill and relax while learning more about a topic I'm interested in. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make videos.
Not enough people are saying this. I hire and supervised many people over the last 12 years and the younger they are the more pain in the ass they are. The older guys are willing to do the job right, they like the idea of working hard and getting payed for it and they take pride in what they do. The younger guys are always complaining and seem to want to just get done and get paid without any consideration to whether they did a good job and made the customer happy. If you ask them to do something it's always what do I get paid for it as if it isn't part of their job already. The last guy I started training with wanted me to call the owner so he could borrow money and he was with me for about 2 hours. What the hell fool, do you think he is your mom? Hard work is out the window and personal responsibility is fading fast. 2 generations of babies are being raised and I think the near future is bleak because of it. No wonder Bernie Sanders is so popular, they all think they are entitled so someone else's stuff.
Hey, Louis, I don‘t really plan on doing board level repair on my own but I like your attitude and your videos because I find them interesting. Continue doing what you do now and keep your attitude. Greetings from Austria
You are really only 27?? The way you hold yourself and your maturity does not reflect the typical 27 year old I'm accustomed to lol but hey btw I'm a millennial we are not all the same please do not group us all together some are different I like to think I'm rather humble well maybe not but hey we all have imaginations lol but please keep this great content coming you do great work
The problem with you is that you are a sensible capitalist. Those types of comments likely come from socialists or socialists-at-heart who think that you should give away your valuable time and money to people who won't appreciate it enough just because you are a fellow human being. There's nothing like building a business from the ground up to make a person understand that money is not an indication of greed, it's (in most cases) a representation of what you got out of your valuable time. More money can always be earned, but more time cannot, and these people, in many cases, just aren't capable of understanding this. You are young and wise, and while you may never be excessively rich (although you very well could be someday) you will never be poor for long enough to cause you significant grief. You are living the American Dream as it was meant to be lived, and that is AWESOME.
I disagree that this situation has anything to do with socialism. The current generation has grown up in the baby phases of the internet when most things can be acquired for free. And if it isn't, it's considered skillful to be able to find a way to get it for free.
***** tell me how I can get a free car, free house, a free 4k TV and a free smartphone with my free internet, and then maybe I'll think about taking back what I said. Until you tell me how to get all those things COMPLETELY FREE then I will just go on believing that there is a difference between physical property and knowledge.
***** I don't quite understand what argument you're fighting against here. All I said was that young people view digital assets differently than physical ones. I never said this is the right way to think.
I hate this entitlement i am currently been in high school and have had it very easy because of actual health issues but i have seen many classmates have it way easier over so many reasons like this shit and wish someone would just smack some of these people (also just kinda found your channel from linustechtips some very amazing stuff here!)
This is probably one of the best videos I think I have seen on UA-cam. You are 100% on the ball about todays generation. People no longer give a shit about the people who cohabit the environment about them. For example I work in the public sector and 90% of the people never give a shit about, 'the guy in a uniform' or the source of what they want. There is always some reason or unreasonable excuse as to why their needs always need to be placed ahead of everyone else. If more people communitised together and helped eachother then evolving goals and succeeding would be so much greater. Keep up the good work and be assured it is definitely appreciated.
If someone doesn't like your video and they give a reason, I don't think they are trying to get something from you, they just didn't like something about the video and are giving criticism. now when people call you up and act like brats then yeah of course.
Even if it's just whining/bitching/moaning where it wasn't asked for or necessary, those people just sound like overgrown children (who generally feel entitled to something/everything, because that's how children think).
I have learned more from you than i did from people that i paid to teach me. And not just in repairing macs, but repairing any electronics, understanding them better, and some life lessons. I repaired some motherboards, gpus and powersuplys, of which i did fuck some up, but i saved myself and my family a ton of money, because you have taught me. I have to thank you verry verry much and wish you the verry best for the future.
Louis you doing a great job. i am learning everyday from you something new either from life experience or how tackle a fix problem don't let this duchbags ,punks, mamas boys, waste your energy just keep flooding us with the knowledge you have
I'm just a scientific programmer and electronics hobbyist. I don't do repairs. I don't own any of the apple products. I just watch your videos for your comments! Keep it up. You are a hero.
Louis, This is one of the best rants you ever had. Maybe even the best on the tube. You hit all the right points, nailed it on the head. You have conveyed in a convincing way, everything that it wrong with the stupid world. Thanks for getting this out there. There are a lot of idiots that don't get this. Seriously, Thanks, Danny
I can relate to that so much, experiencing the same in mobile games. The average player pays you nothing and yet complaints about any content that is not unlocked for free immediately. Your channel is marvelous and I hope you continue on what you are doing :)
I really like your commentary on life. 😂 I’m no tech. I don’t do what you do at all, but your videos are so great. Really honest and so down to earth. Lol love it.
If I live near one of your shops Jessa or yours Louis I would be more than happy to learn how to become better. I’m no technician or computer savvy I just work on computers mostly windows related. I really respect people like you and Jessa. Thanks for the quality content.
Screw 'rite of passage'. It is an amazing opportunity when one can learn from the mistakes of others. Yeah, my comment is several years late, but I'm gonna make it anyways. I'm likely never going to do component-level repairs for a living, but I am still learning things by watching these videos, for which I am grateful.
Thank you to everyone who made a purchase on eBay via our affiliate link at rossmanngroup.com/ebay for helping support this type of content. Your viewership is appreciated and as always, I hope you learned something!
Louis, I really enjoy your videos, even though I'm older. ;) Your videos are full of great logical and practical info for ALL generation to take note of. When I was in my 20's I've struggled for many years to build up a successful business similar to yours, so I can really sympathize with the trials and tribulations of running daily operations you present on your channel.
LOL I really get what you are saying. especially Living in the manhattan
You made a totally wrong answer here 22:28
Dick - known as a penis. Penis is the primary sexual organ that male animals use to inseminate sexually receptive mates (usually females and hermaphrodites) during copulation.
Thank you! Very well said. I grow tired of the generation that expects something for nothing. I have to laugh when kids leave school and expect a salary and office like mine. Never mind I’ve been busting my ass for 20 years to get there. Great work and I have learned so much watching your videos. Take care!
I enjoy your videos. I'm a tech for above ground hot tubs. I deal with similar people like you do. My question is, what do you say to people who says "your prices are too expensive" I get that once in a while, and at times I felt like giving a rude answer like " you called my to fix your spa because you don't know how, or you paying for the convenience of having me come to your home, diagnose the problem, come up with a solution to the problem, and fix the problem"
How do you handle a situation like that. Thanks you are actually someone I look up too now.
I'm gonna be frank about this, I have almost no idea how to perform most of these things you perform, I find them really complicated to accomplish, but rather entertaining to watch.
But most of all I watch you for the way you talk and your attitude in general.
I think you're a stand-up guy and I like you for that.
So thanks for everything.
I hope you can see this comment even if this video is old, because I just found out.
Same really, idk how I even found this guy but he's like all I've been watching for the last 3 days. Just good quality and nice to watch
I've been watching for a couple months now. If Apple ever won and videos get removed, I'll start downloading them as day as I can. You're doing great Louis, just get some sleep every once in a while.
I 100% agree
I find your ranting rather entertaining.
+Daniel Schick Same here
Exactly!
50% that, 50% Repairing stuff is nice, so being able to do so as well.
@Listen and believe, no I will not! yeees please i´ll take your entire stock
The ranting is why I'm here!
I hate this sense of entitlement in some people, I absolutely agree with everything you said here.
Someone I went to school with, he decided to hack my Amazon account and commit insurance fraud, he used his card, but felt that because his monitor that was a b grade panel had a dead pixel that he would call up and say it wasn't even in the box, he felt that they owed him a perfect monitor and tried to get one free. He made the mistake of telling me and I decided to call up, all I know is that his card was banned, don't know if he was ever fined or taken to court over it
You can't possibly agree with everything he said here. The issue he framed his entire argument around was exactly the opposite of what he then goes on to rail against.
He claims that people of a certain undefined age feel entitled to things they did not earn. Then he sites the letter written by the Oberlin student. ...But in the letter Louis goes on to read the student Louis declaims for feeling "entitled to something they didn't earn" that student doesn't ask for or seek to gain anything for themselves. That student says specifically they are perfectly happy to take the final. HELLO? How can this person be demonstrating a sense of being entitled to something, when they very specifically and repeatedly state they are not asking for anything for themselves?
Did you just not think your comment through? Did Louis not? I'm honestly asking because you both seem completely ridiculous in citing this student as an example of entitlement.
None of that means I think the students should have gotten out of their exam
Lastly, I don't think the issue with people not utilizing the resources provided to them a millennial phenomenon. There are people who behave this way at all age ranges, I deal with 40-50 year olds like this all the time. I personally would say they are worse at least the ones I deal with, because they are less comfortable with technology and they're not likely read a forum or watch a youtube video or use deep google vodo track down the answer to a problem.
I know this video is old, but I actually fear the day you decide that the work required for these videos isn't worth it. What this channel has done for me is immeasurable, not just via tech knowledge either, but also life lessons. Despite growing up with a completely different background than you, you've somehow managed to make all of your videos relatable. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. I appreciate that you feel that the fraction of your audience that genuinely value what you do, are worth it.
This is.......requiem
"The x button is always in the upper-right corner"
You just emotionally triggered Apple fanboys :)
djole94hns On a Mac, it's actually up in the left hand corner. :-P LOL
SeanFromPVD No shit, Sherlock :) That's the point!
djole94hns I was just helping you make your point. :-P I've always been quite intuitive and I am great in the process of investigation, so I guess Sherlock is a good name for me. (Obvious sarcasm.)
+djole94hns Apple fanboys are always emotional triggered.
If you really want to see someone that's easily triggered, go to a place with a bunch of Linux fanboys and tell them why Ubuntu is better than Arch in every way possible. You'll get stabbed. LOL :)
They may reconsider with the official change to the Gnome UI, instead of the much hated Unity.
Louis, I am in my late 40's. I have struggled for years to learn electronics. Since I was 14 I wanted to be an electronics technician but I couldn't understand the complicated electronics books. I felt like a complete and useless idiot. I have seen your videos and have learned more in the past few months than I have in my 47 years in existence. I was a horrible student and thought I was pretty much useless. I want to thank you for changing my life. I'm finally able to understand electronics. I never thought I would be able to actually understand and grasp the idea of board repair. You are undoubtedly one of the best instructors that I've had.
I am very interested in attending the class, maybe in the next few months.
Thank You so much for all your hard work and putting in the late hours to post and edit these videos!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have learned so much !!!!!!
Exactly! My engineer friend keeps throwing me formulas. Yeah - I get it - it's all based on formulas. But there are other ways to learn this stuff, and I find Louis' method a lot more helpful for getting the concepts! And the ranting? Shoot - it's entertaining because it's *real!* He's thinking out loud as he works, and that is what is super helpful for we bystanders. :)
Some learn from books others learn by doing
Louise, I gave you call this past week concerning a dead 2010 MacBook Pro and I must say that your honesty and recommendation to my problem was greatly appreciated.
Your the real deal, and I thank you and your team for that.
Brian from Montreal.
Frosty Canada Thank you!
After my motorcycle accident, I still took my law school finals with a catheter still in my urethra and a piss bag strapped to my leg.
Pardon me if I don't cry about these kids "trauma", lol! :)
+theistus DAMN STRAIGHT!
+Riaan de Beer Hmmm... I was ready to give another answer but yours brought a bigger perspective. I see your point.
My original point was that in my country universities are state-run. If you work hard they're free, but you can also enroll by paying. However, I feel it's normal that even if you do pay they don't owe us anything. Now, were I incapacitated to take a test - parent died, broke up with girlfriend etc. - it's on me to simply fail the exam and be ready next time. But it's on me.
I've had issues with my generation. When 3-4 exams were supposed to be scheduled, people were LIVID that someone dared schedule two of them in consecutive days. I mean, it's the professor's right to schedule it (by consulting with a head student) whenever he wants, as long as it's not at the exact time that another one was previously scheduled. It's not his concern that you have a minimum of two days between exams. But my colleagues felt entitled to their best comfort...
That's bad ass!
+theistus champ! :)
+theistus I hear that! I worked for 4 weeks as a petroleum technician with an PIC line up to my heart and IV antibiotics surging in to me. My daughter is 16. She's worked in our concession setup and managed it by her self....at 16. She applied at McDonalds and the only reason they didn't make her a manager was because she was 16. I refuse to raise a noodle-spined brat with this entitlement disease.
People don't even understand that conversing is a means of exchange. You are putting so much effort into sharing your knowledge and values, thanks dude.
Thank you. Yup, I love finding channels like this that show and teach concepts. The content here is a gold mine.
I really appreciate someone that still has the balls to talk straight without bs.
Your content has nothing to do with anything I know and I like watching. Love the reality check. Keep up the great work!
Louis rossman the type of teacher who can say anything yet convince that all he teach us is all worth it. I salute you and I like it!
In summary..... "Louis helps those who help themselves."
Louis helps who he chooses to help, for whatever reason he chooses. As it should be.
Screw all of them.!!! Louis you're awesome.!!! You've taught me a lot !!! I'm 55 now & I've been a Techie since the mid 80s. I owe you a lot.!!! Thnx 👍
Everybody gets a trophy! We are all winners for showing up! Your videos are spot on Louis.
I don't fix computers but I watch your videos to learn how you think and get your perspective on misc things and it has taught me how to be a more confident and smarter person. Thanks man.
Agree. I've got 2 masters in electrical eng. and electronics eng. I don't know your techniques, equipment, etc. If I'd like to learn how to repair laptops thou, your channel would be a way to learn directly from a professional for free. Invaluable. This was not possible 20 years ago, when people had to bed for such occasion. Respect to you, Sir.
Thank you
Here is one who appreciates what you do. I am trained in electronics but the job changed from component level repairs and recalibrating on high end test equipment and telecom equipment to just pull the box out and put in a new one instead of replacing a relay that allows an alarm when ac has failed or the battery isn’t charging. The job has lost its challenge. You have given me hope that my old skills can be re-energised.
Thank you
THIS! Even more relevant 3+ yrs later !! Thanks man! - I don't do board level, but I enjoy your videos and commentary.
Your teaching generosity will never hurt your business, on the contrary.
Thank you
This is the best thing i've ever watched. My faith in the world has been restored.
He has a lot of other great videos! Check out his "Beware of self-destructing mindsets of self pity and envy" video too.
Love the straight forward honesty Louis,your refreshing for a Millennial ! I enjoy and appreciate your channel ! I'm an ex New Yorker that went to school for electronics 38 years ago !
You are by far the most rational person doing this stuff with the possible exception of D. Jones doing this stuff. Thanks and fyi, you have inspired me to do repairs. Sometimes even succeeding! Thanks Louis.
I should learn how to type. disclaimer: I'm Finnish.
i just want to say, you type better, and have better grammar then almost 50% of english speaking people.
Zaph Hood No...
You have best possible don't-give-shit-but-help-you-anyways attitude. First time i watched your videos i was shocked of your attitude, now i love that same attitude.
I totalled my car on the way to a lab meeting. My dad came right to the accident site, gave me his keys, and told me to go. I got there half an hour late, and stayed an extra hour to make up for it. The problem isn't necessarily the millenials themselves, but I think it has to do with the older generations who failed to instill discipline. As an immigrant child, I was raised by parents who worked their assess off day and night every single day to provide for me, which managed to rub off on me. We need more parents and role models who value hard work and striving for excellence over the pursuit for success/fame/fortune.
Akshay Patel props to your dad. sounds like a good guy.
J Bottero he's had a rough life, and he's an incredible dad. he's also hilarious, so that's cool too lol
***** Your dad sounds like a cool dude, too. Our dads would probably get along just fine haha
Had a sick car before i was due to go on holiday dad said use mine and run it in whilst your 'e at it came back with 3000 miles on the clock and he'd had mine fixed.
I really enjoy your channel. I have ... Nothing to complain about! And sincerely appreciate you showing these awesome tutorials . Quite honestly I don't understand people bitching you have a certain style I enjoy and I like how u have a no BS approach . What you show alone is priceless and I follow along passionately to learn as much as possible and im sure will really appreciate not just now but the future as well!
10:05 you are a great person. I really appreciate all the philosophy and business advice videos.
Honestly I'm really only here because the life lessons, watching people repairing boards is oddly satisfying and the personality you have. Those 3 things were enough to make me watch this for entertainment and learn some stuff from it, hope ye keep making videos for a long time.
I know this video is old but the only thing people are entitled to is what they pay for. I love these videos and I am glad you make them.
This is one of the best UA-cam videos I've ever seen. I'd love to see more people embrace this particular attitude.
+Louis Rossmann you are the KING, respect!
I'm sorry that there's people out there that treat you this way. I am very grateful for the time and effort you put into these videos. You seem like a fair and honest man and have the right too be annoyed at these people. I appreciate the videos. Please keep up the good work.
I am offended by your reluctance to recognize my divine entitlement. You owe me for the privilege of daring to exist in my sight. I will look forward to receiving the check promptly. I must go now as I am late to my Gender-Studies College Course. At least they will recognize that I am entitled to be late once I explain how triggered your video made me.
+TheBaconlaser I love it
Rub a lamp.
λάμδα >>>> the joke
>>>> Your head
*Whoooossshhhh....
And it was a year old joke at that. Still a good one tho
Yeah.
Woooooooooosh.
Same 😂😂
I only recently discovered your channel but I am blown away by all the extremely good content you have. Eli made a "generous donation" of his whiny subscribers but I decided to check out what your content is. Eli makes sure to keep giving no matter what. Thank you so much for everything that you do Louis.
AGREE 100% LOUIS. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO
I for one really appreciate the willingness and effort you put in to making these vids. I haven't been following you long, but I've already gained a great deal of information. I've got a dead computer I've wanted to get fixed, and now that I'm learning what to look for, I'm about to start trying to figure it out my self.
So many of these videos with the background make my brain first think "Is this a NASA video?"
Thank god someone said it. I have a lot of appreciation for this resource being available. I work full time, I have 4 kids, I do not have a lot of money available to buy the tools I want, but this channel has been motivating and empowering me to start building my toolkit and hopefully starting to make some more money with the knowledge that I have amassed over the years. I have started to piece together my own fx-951 soldering station based on your recommendations.I have asked you questions on your channel and received nothing but respect and good information in response. Keep doing what you do, I love your channel, and I appreciate the information that you are making available for free now that was impossible to find before.
Lol when u watch him for hrs renting
And internally agreeing with all his points 😂
I appreciate you mate. In fact i have been binge watching your channel for last two days. Highly educational and extremely entertaining at the same time. Please don't stop sharing.
Somewhere along the line the workforce turned from craftsmen to labor. That mentality, is a huge factor in why things are the way they are now. It is a training of a workforce, that will do exactly what you want, when you say "jump".
"Well you should do what I want because I have money and you need my money". No. I need quality relationships. People forget that business, is a trade of needs. A client has something I want, and I have something they want. What should be cultivated is good relationships, not money. Money will come, through experience and quality of work. That's how you build a name.
But, names don't mean very much any more. And that has some to do with the throw away culture with superficial attitudes.
I found your channel by accident searching for information on how to repair old video game consoles for fun. Now, I see someone 10 steps ahead of me and it has me intrigued me to learn more. I get free information and what do I owe you other than a simple "Thank You"? Screw these idiots. Keep doing what you're doing.
I an American. However, I teach at a university here in Thailand - because I don't have to put up with kids who are entitled jerks. You are a very good person and most generous. Thank you.
+PlayngThai2 Sounds like a great country!
+PlayngThai2 Our grandparents stormed the beaches of Normandy. Our kids "like" their friends getting revenge-porned. (Fortunately, my nieces and nephews turned out okay. One was voted nicest person in her school.)
+rainmakerman71 Ack! I may have spoke too soon. My nephew -- "the smart one" -- hasn't been able to get a job in his field and has been hiding at his brother's apartment so as not to get nagged into being responsible and take a lesser job. Oh, well. At least he's still nice.
+rainmakerman71 Well laudiefrikenda
I want to say I appreciate you, I enjoy your videos, honestly I don't know why people would not like you, you say it how it is, and I enjoy learning from you. So thank you!
hey, why the video suddenly stops? common, i paid for it! wait......no i didn't! :-)
Its sad that most if not all college students believe they are entitled. You are awesome that you give freely your time to teach and help people. There needs to be more folks like you in the world. It would be a lot better place.. Im new watching your channel, I'm 62 years old, 90% of the time I have zero clues as to what you are talking about, but I am learning and it amazes me that I am.. Thank you for your time sir.
What temperature lcd connector fluid you use in your ultrasonic cleaner?
RealationGames xD
I don't think I'll be doing board repairs as a career but I still watch your videos, particularly your talks. I've learnt a lot. I quit my engineering job 2 years ago to attempt to make it own my own. Not successful at the moment. thank you for sharing your wisdom. Just wanted to share my appreciation.
Hey Louis. What temperature do you use your soldering iron at?
I'm glad you made this video. God it is so true. And I get that it seemed like we were jumping up and down on that guy the other day, so this really puts that into context.
I was watching Mark Shaffer's brand new UA-cam channel the other day, which I know will be fantastic over time. He posted a link on a forum of a video he made. A dozen or so questions pop right up. I can see the enthusiasm in his answers. And it made me sad because I know that he will undergo the inevitable metamorphosis from enthusiasm to fatigue. I have withdrawn from a lot of the forums I used to really enjoy.
I will be interested to see what happens with a few paid videos. You're right---if you paid $5 to watch this content, then it better be good. My hope is that paid content will both motivate me to keep the video edited, on topic, and organized. While also weeding out bogus entitlement. If you've paid $5, you are in fact entitled to ask a question about the video and deserve an answer--no resentment required. It is my hope to turn the clock back and recapture Mark's enthusiasm.
Plus, a paid video that answers the common questions is a great way to stop all the repetitive typing while answering them---just point to the video. If the asker really wants to know, then pay up, bro. If not, then feel free to go dig up the answer on your own, it's around here somewhere.
I'm excited to see how this works out....
Jessa that's FANTASTIC idea I will be buying every single video and would do the same for louis...... I know he says it should be free but I disagree you guys deserve the money!
Louis Rossmann I have always suspected that by you offering these videos people would be annoyed. By doing so it makes it hard to get answers for your own questions which impacts your business so offering paid videos would at the very least compensate for that. Maybe like Jessa a free and paid list of videos? Just a thought...
450 celcius
I am with Louis. We have been doing this for many years and we are happy to point people to Louis Russmann's video's when we are doing the same or similar work. These videos inform people and the fact is most are going to be happy to pay when they see the knowledge, experience and work that goes into this kind of work. Transparency is quite a good idea and good people appreciate these videos. i am always open to new ways of doing things. Good work Louis.
You rich ass, you should feel lucky that you can afford to have a 3 cent potentiometer in your soldering iron
I read in one of your videos a comment saying 'i like to just listen". Well, i really did it. Today while i was driving i did not have the time to watch thus i played the video and throw my phone on front passenger seat and kept listening while i was driving home. True stuff louis
I allow ads for you. Thanks for the show!
+Brad Brundage wow, thank you!
major respect man, not pandering to the haters and sticking to your principals. Good on ya, not afraid to call out the viewers who don't really get it. I recently started watching your stuff and within just days I feel like I've learned so much already. I may be 22 but i feel like 9 year old Louis figuring it all out for the first time, and for this wonderful resource I commend and applaud you. Thanks Louis for making the videos you make and being so outspoken
Hey Louis, I recently found your channel and I would like to tell you that I completely agree with you regarding economics and business ethics. The millennial issue is something I always see first hand, being a college student. You do an amazing job with your videos, and I greatly appreciate it.
+kevin burkey Thank you!
You have inspired me to learn how to run the hot-air rework station that nobody knows how to use at my work.
I have no intent to pester you about temps, flow rates, tips, or techniques.
I fully plan to just grab dead boards, slather them in flux, and ... learn. As you always recommend.
This is the only decent channel for repairing macbook logic boards. There are some videos on UA-cam which has videos for repairing logic boards but half of it is garbage. Your videos have helped me out i can't stand people who moan about people uploading videos to help other people. Don't take no notice of them idiots they just moan about everything. would like to say Thank you for your videos they helped me out repairing logic boards myself. Your videos are trust worthy unlike some of the videos which are on youtube. Thats all i got to say really but seriously louis don't let them piss you off. i enjoy watching your videos to repair a macbook logic board or just to watch your videos to pass the time. all the best bro.
23:30 This is the same with software development, you can learn to program overnight. BUT, to actually know what the hell you're doing (and do it properly) it takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Good channel, good video - you've got my respect my man.
You are a beast. Fucking love these videos.
Thank you for being one of the people who share knowledge for free. I honestly only watch your videos because I like your attitude and you're pretty damn funny most the time lol, and well... I like watching your craft- I personally am not doing this myself. But hey, it's nice to KNOW this stuff and I'm glad someone like you is sharing this for free for idiots like me, and those who actually who are gonna out this knowledge to practice.
Thank you again and have a great day. I hope you keep doing what you do. My dad always said the quote "knowledge is power" so I appreciate you sharing that power.
OMG this is the worst free stuff I've never had to pay for! Pleasbro, send me a bill IMMEDIATELY so I can annoy you!!!
Thank you... for being you.
I totally agree with your point of view, When your videos come out I think to myself "I get to watch this". I can't even wrap my head around the mentality of people who think anyone should do anything for them for free. I really like the point you put out where it's easier to deal with people just a little older or a little younger then our generation, it's a sentiment I can echo myself.
You'd love r/ChoosingBeggars
I really enjoy listening to your videos. Like, I'm over here doing my thing and you're over there doing your thing, just talking. Chilling and talking.

As a 35 year old I completely agree that those ten years my junior have this arrogant attitude towards people. I suggest that this sense of entitlement may stem from a cultural change of attitude viz. content and distribution. All music, film, game content etc is viewed as free to download. Even hardware is dirt cheap through hand me downs and credit card culture. When I was a teenager I had to work and save for my stuff, sometimes for months if I wanted a new TV or monitor. Today many of this generation expect the world to owe them a living, and they should have a 'right' to the latest gear!
+JonnyInfinite It's bullshit!
+JonnyInfinite As someone who is 38, I can tell you that fifteen to twenty years ago, people your age and mine had the same attitude towards me that you now have towards the youth of today.
The previous generation got their University education for free in the UK, Millenials have to take out loans of £9000 per year, I guess when you're paying for your education, you want every break you can get.
We live in a time when the youth of today actually do have it harder than previous generations and, at least in the UK, have a government that seems to want to make it harder, while keeping this current generation of pensioners, the ones who prattle on about how spoilt Millenials are, to the life to which they're accustomed, full of perks that they get purely because they're old.
Mind you, the youth don't help themselves, they're the ones not voting. A young mother made the news because she didn't know who David Cameron, our Prime Minister, is.
+GeoNeilUK I can see your point but I see this attitude more and more, I think you can draw a direct link to the riots and looting a couple of years ago in the UK to this instant gratification culture engendered by hyper-commercialism and the extreme narcissistic tendencies exacerbated by social media and the base entertainment of celebrity worship. People have forgotten how to have fun and be human beings, without coming across as hyperbolic, I think many of those under 30 have a real issue, I kind of pity them..
+JonnyInfinite there goes that under 30 bullshit. more like 25 and under because the closer you get to 30, the more you grow and understand. "people under 30" you just condemned someone who is 29, like their is any difference between 29 and 30. like everything changes in a snap when it 30. that "under 30" or "over 30" is such baby boomer bullshit and needs to go
Donald Trump is a fucking dumb ass that should not be in office and should be takin out so we don't have to look at him or hears is stupid ass anymore ;)
Hey hey hey this cost me a whole 100MB - 2GB which amounts to $0.00003 to $0.20
You are the greatest philosopher of our generation. I'm the sole IT guy for my medium-sized company, and my office is across the hall from our HR manager. More than once I've had entitled "children" my age have their moms drop off applications at my door when HR is out. Holy crap! Grow up Nancy! ... I just write "NO!" on a post-it and slip it under HR's door.
As you were reading this, I was sitting here telling myself that if I were the professor, I'd have given him one of those arm flapping, "fuck you"s that you do all the time. Cracks me up every time you do it. lol I personally feel so many black Americans (not African Americans, AMERICAN Americans, just as American as you me and everyone else here) are poor and living in poverty because so many people are constantly telling them that this country is so racist that you'll never find a job, so don't even bother trying, just take the government handout and be happy. And then we also started this Affirmative Action crap, where we then say to them, look, since we are so racist here, and your people have been so mistreated for so long, you are entitled to get into this school for no reason other than your skin color, regardless of the fact that your grades aren't as good as the requirements, regardless of the fact that others who have a different skin color put in much more effort and time, and got better grades, you get in. The same ends up happening for jobs after college. We are basically telling a decent chunk of our population that hard work does nothing for them, and what are the results? The projects, plain and simple. This kind of crap ruins peoples lives, and keeps generations of people poor and struggling when in all honesty, if they went out and seriously tried to get a job, they would have one, and then they would be able to support themselves and their families, live in nicer houses in the suburbs instead of cramming a family or 4-6 in a one or two bedroom apartment, you can go to any school you want, and the list goes on. But instead of economic freedom, they end up rotting in government housing. I find it morally wrong to do this to people.
Thanks for the extra effort of the the videos Louis. All of them are much appreciated.
Every generation has this problem, framing it as "my generation" only shows a lack of context and a subsequent blindness to resolve.
I love your content, even your rants. I often watch it just to chill and relax while learning more about a topic I'm interested in. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make videos.
Not enough people are saying this. I hire and supervised many people over the last 12 years and the younger they are the more pain in the ass they are. The older guys are willing to do the job right, they like the idea of working hard and getting payed for it and they take pride in what they do. The younger guys are always complaining and seem to want to just get done and get paid without any consideration to whether they did a good job and made the customer happy. If you ask them to do something it's always what do I get paid for it as if it isn't part of their job already. The last guy I started training with wanted me to call the owner so he could borrow money and he was with me for about 2 hours. What the hell fool, do you think he is your mom? Hard work is out the window and personal responsibility is fading fast. 2 generations of babies are being raised and I think the near future is bleak because of it. No wonder Bernie Sanders is so popular, they all think they are entitled so someone else's stuff.

Hey, Louis, I don‘t really plan on doing board level repair on my own but I like your attitude and your videos because I find them interesting. Continue doing what you do now and keep your attitude. Greetings from Austria
You are really only 27?? The way you hold yourself and your maturity does not reflect the typical 27 year old I'm accustomed to lol but hey btw I'm a millennial we are not all the same please do not group us all together some are different I like to think I'm rather humble well maybe not but hey we all have imaginations lol but please keep this great content coming you do great work
M-T Minds that’s the difference between an entrepreneur and a “want”repreneur
It's a very nice to watch your videos 3am on the morning. Thank you very much
It's a great advantage in life to be an autodidact. If you ask what that means, you've lost the first battle in the war.
Watching your videos really help me out with my emotional well-being, thank you so much for making these videos.
The problem with you is that you are a sensible capitalist. Those types of comments likely come from socialists or socialists-at-heart who think that you should give away your valuable time and money to people who won't appreciate it enough just because you are a fellow human being. There's nothing like building a business from the ground up to make a person understand that money is not an indication of greed, it's (in most cases) a representation of what you got out of your valuable time. More money can always be earned, but more time cannot, and these people, in many cases, just aren't capable of understanding this.
You are young and wise, and while you may never be excessively rich (although you very well could be someday) you will never be poor for long enough to cause you significant grief. You are living the American Dream as it was meant to be lived, and that is AWESOME.
thank you!
I disagree that this situation has anything to do with socialism. The current generation has grown up in the baby phases of the internet when most things can be acquired for free. And if it isn't, it's considered skillful to be able to find a way to get it for free.
***** tell me how I can get a free car, free house, a free 4k TV and a free smartphone with my free internet, and then maybe I'll think about taking back what I said. Until you tell me how to get all those things COMPLETELY FREE then I will just go on believing that there is a difference between physical property and knowledge.
***** I don't quite understand what argument you're fighting against here. All I said was that young people view digital assets differently than physical ones. I never said this is the right way to think.
***** fair enough.
There are those who do appreciate your work on UA-cam. I say Thank You! Blessings!
The smartest people are the autodidacted ones..
+MrCheatreporter fucken sweet word spotted! good form sir
I'm really surprised on how those things happen, because people should be grateful when someone is freely giving such valuable information.
I hate this entitlement i am currently been in high school and have had it very easy because of actual health issues but i have seen many classmates have it way easier over so many reasons like this shit and wish someone would just smack some of these people (also just kinda found your channel from linustechtips some very amazing stuff here!)
This is probably one of the best videos I think I have seen on UA-cam. You are 100% on the ball about todays generation. People no longer give a shit about the people who cohabit the environment about them. For example I work in the public sector and 90% of the people never give a shit about, 'the guy in a uniform' or the source of what they want. There is always some reason or unreasonable excuse as to why their needs always need to be placed ahead of everyone else.
If more people communitised together and helped eachother then evolving goals and succeeding would be so much greater.
Keep up the good work and be assured it is definitely appreciated.
You're conflating unwanted criticism with entitlement, not the same thing
If the criticism is "i want more because i deserve it for free", that is entitlement
If someone doesn't like your video and they give a reason, I don't think they are trying to get something from you, they just didn't like something about the video and are giving criticism. now when people call you up and act like brats then yeah of course.
Even if it's just whining/bitching/moaning where it wasn't asked for or necessary, those people just sound like overgrown children (who generally feel entitled to something/everything, because that's how children think).
I have learned more from you than i did from people that i paid to teach me. And not just in repairing macs, but repairing any electronics, understanding them better, and some life lessons. I repaired some motherboards, gpus and powersuplys, of which i did fuck some up, but i saved myself and my family a ton of money, because you have taught me. I have to thank you verry verry much and wish you the verry best for the future.
Louis you doing a great job. i am learning everyday from you something new either from life experience or how tackle a fix problem don't let this duchbags ,punks, mamas boys, waste your energy just keep flooding us with the knowledge you have
Totally righteous and I hope you continue to help the people who deserve it.
I'm just a scientific programmer and electronics hobbyist. I don't do repairs. I don't own any of the apple products. I just watch your videos for your comments! Keep it up. You are a hero.
Loved how brutally honest your video was, thanks,
Louis, This is one of the best rants you ever had. Maybe even the best on the tube. You hit all the right points, nailed it on the head. You have conveyed in a convincing way, everything that it wrong with the stupid world. Thanks for getting this out there. There are a lot of idiots that don't get this. Seriously, Thanks, Danny
I can relate to that so much, experiencing the same in mobile games. The average player pays you nothing and yet complaints about any content that is not unlocked for free immediately. Your channel is marvelous and I hope you continue on what you are doing :)
This guy is really cool. I love all of his content and always walk away learning something!
I really like your commentary on life. 😂 I’m no tech. I don’t do what you do at all, but your videos are so great. Really honest and so down to earth. Lol love it.
A tech who's down to earth and socially aware, you have earned respect
If I live near one of your shops Jessa or yours Louis I would be more than happy to learn how to become better. I’m no technician or computer savvy I just work on computers mostly windows related. I really respect people like you and Jessa. Thanks for the quality content.
Screw 'rite of passage'. It is an amazing opportunity when one can learn from the mistakes of others.
Yeah, my comment is several years late, but I'm gonna make it anyways.
I'm likely never going to do component-level repairs for a living, but I am still learning things by watching these videos, for which I am grateful.
Thank you for stating this in such a straight foward and forthright way!!
