Sorry, who's the /b/tard here? Again I say, god help your child if you are the "mature" adult in her life..

> I got a virus and have to re-install, how do I know my USB isnt infected also.
The format that is performed by your ISO ripper would solve that problem.
> my sister wants to reinstall Windows but now I gotta phone that idiot for 20 minutes just to set the laptop to boot from USB
So, not only do you go onsite unprepared without a laptop and a phone (for tethered internet) you're also too stupid to google "select boot source [machine type]". I think I see a pattern forming here.
> my computer crapped out, so I gotta download the Win7 ISO, then burn the ISO to a USB. how do I do that without a working computer?
You keep a USB stick or external tub with a macrium/ghost snapshot of your current machine build in your desk drawer like I have been doing for years.
> that cute girl wants me to come to her house to fix her Windows, but she doesn't know which version, or which edition of Windows her serial # is good for. so now I gotta spend $120 to buy 10 USB sticks, instead of $5 to get 10 DVDs. or lose face.
Or of course, you just rip an image immediately on the spot with your laptop (which i'm guessing you're too pleb to have, again, why go onsite if you are unprepared for all contingencies?)

I think you need to find a new career dude, you appear patently unprepared to perform onsite support.

You pair as well. Dump them all on an external drive, rip them as you need you fucking muppets.

You are aware that a lot of machines have acrylic panels so you can see the gubbins, right?

It's like the worst of /g/ has come to visit. I hope none of you idiots charge for what you do.

> I don't know how to select the right TPI blade for my job, and I am too limpwristed to operate a hand tool.

Sorry anon, that's all I read. If you don't know how to competently use a hand tool for a job, you should not be using it's powered equivalent. Also, if you need to "sand and correct the cut", then you didn't do it properly in the first place. Considering your apparent level of skill and knowledge, this is no surprise..

Holy shit. Are you genuinely comparing a depreciated port connected to a fucking computer to an SBC with I/O out the wazoo..? Are you an old man who's too far gone to learn something new or do you legitimately have no fucking clue what you are talking about?
