    Azy got a reaction from Fatih19 in Thread for Linus Tech Tips Video Suggestions   
    Hi Everyone! First time poster here, please forgive any mistakes. I was thinking earlier today how much I love finding problems and fixing them. Sure its frustrating sometimes if you just want to build your new rig and it doesn't boot but when I help friends and family and they describe their issue to me with their computer/phone/electronics I find it interesting, especially if it is a weird fault that I don't know how to fix straightaway. I would love to see a video where two guys from the LTT team are given a faulty computer each with a known fault and they have to find and resolve it before each other. It would be even better if you don't tell the viewer what the problem is so that we can play along at home.
    I dunno about anyone else but tech issues peak my curiosity and I just want to get in there and find the resolution. I especially like it when a problem stumps me and I have to maybe ask a colleague for help, they may tell me something I didn't know. The feeling I get when I fix a problem for someone is amazing. I used to work in a telephone tech support role so maybe its just me. I used to love it when a customer would come on the phone and for example their website was down, they would tell me that they've tried everything and no one has been able to help. I loved taking on the problem, listening to them describing the weird behaviour, then sitting and thinking, frowning at the screen and trying one thing after another, eliminating the variables until I found the issue. The feeling I got when I got things working again was pure elation. I loved going back and telling the customer it was all fixed. Their reaction made it all worth it. They would be so so grateful and tell me how they had spoken to so many of my colleagues but I was the only one who managed to help them. 
    As it turns out the downside of my job was that I would speak to alot of customers who were really unpleasant, swearing, shouting and making personal comments. After 7 years in the role I developed severe anxiety. Just thinking about work would make my heart race and my mouth go dry. After I developed full blown panic attacks I couldn't work anymore. Some days its really bad and I cant even leave my house. Thats when I re-found LTT on Youtube. I still love computers and technology and LTT lets me still enjoy it even when I'm at home. I would love to see them diagnosing a faulty computer so I can live vicariously. Setting two of the LTT against each other would be pretty exciting. Or maybe even against the clock. Its seems such a big part of owning a computer is fixing problems with it, even if youre not a computer tech.
    Sorry for the long post, lol. What do you guys think? Linus mentioned once before that sometimes an idea on paper doesn't actually film well but I would be interested what everyone else thinks.
