I was the first kid with a computer in my neighborhood and was tech support from the age of basically 7.

I remember when I was like 9 years old I figured out how to hook our n64 up to our old ass tv that didn't have a component input but at this very old like y-fram screw in thing because I found an old adapter of that type from some old video camera we had in the garage and my mom thought I was a genius.

We've literally just been plugging things into the things where it fits or matches the color for decades now.

A younger Ryan made a lot of side cash hooking up DVD players and home theater systems he sold at an electronics store after work. People who were wealthy, and very smart in their own domain couldn't come to grips with matching the coloured wires to the correct coloured port. It always amazed me, but I was also happy to get a days wage for a couple hours work. Everyone wins I guess.

Some people would rather spend money than figure something out that they don't understand.

Enterprising young bucks we were. I managed to make a few bills "fixing" computers for people in my grandfather's florida condo. It was a gold mine, once per year Id clear out all the spam shit they had going on and run lowkey virus scans and clear caches, shit like that. People love peeling off 20s for that kind of stuff.

I used to have a USB with all the tools for that purpose 😂👍
