I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Great episode, only the story about GamersNexus Newegg is incorrect. The item was not brand new but was an Open Box item. Though GN never opened the item on there side and was still sealed in its full original shipping box that Newegg sent it in.
