Sometimes, I do things that afterward, I sit back and go "What the fuck was I thinking!?" This weekend was on of those times. I was doing a bit of tweaking of my OS, and decided it would be a good idea to take ownership of the entire windows folder. It ended just as you would expect, with a totally borked operating system.

The worst I have done to an OS was mess with UXTheme stuff. Caused my OS to not boot up properly (I'd boot, but wouldn't get to the lock screen. Reinstalled Windows because fuck trying to find actual fix.

That and I also made C:\ as primary partition on my laptop once and when I rebooted, "BOOTMGR is missing". That I was able to recover from thanks to command prompt.

We all do things that're stupid. That's what makes us human. It's also how we learn.

It's a trade-off. If you are going to mess with that stuff, be sure you know what you are doing, and be keep backups.

I always have backups for editing shit with themes.

The trade-off is real tho, because even my backups didn't save me.

Well, if you severely damage the OS, yeah. But all my important stuff is automatically backed up via Crash Plan. Really helpful.

Oh boy, do I have a story. My friend sent in his computer tower to a company he had a warranty with to fix his CPU fan, they fixed it and replaced it, but when he got it back they dead ass just left the old CPU fan on top of his 760.

I would've laughed and cried at the same time if that happened to me.

I feel yah dude, one of the many stupid things I've done was delete the boot loader lol and worst part is that's probably not the worst thing I've done.
