Love this fella. He rocks straight into the content, he doesn't NEED crappy intro/logo/music, he doesn't waffle, he doesn't push crappy VPN/sports drinks/etc, he stays on topic and ends once he gets the message across. Awesome man.

We have learned, through experience, to never judge a book by its cover. Customers that leave tips like this should be embraced as small companies are fighting to stay above water. To jump the line and get something fixed instantly is worth a lot to the person that needs it. Sometimes a device with sensitive information stops working and needs to be recovered to get wiped and remove the sensitive data. Everything has a price and giving a tip this large and carrying around that much money, makes one question. Now we need to remember to never judge a book by its cover.

Big Bo’s is an awesome guy to disassemble and reassemble all the devices that need soldering work. That’s one part of the soldering job I find “painful” at times: so having a guy like big boss take care of that side of “repair” is pretty awesome! Also, do like looking at monitor for soldering now compared to looking thru microscope, like used to do. Enter on neck and other issues it caused, and as was learning curve; not going back anytime soon. THX NRF for that awesome tip, and not for everyone, but I like it👍🏻

wow , your microscope truly is super GOOD! ..NO MOTION Blur! Always see components clear when shaking..not only clear but it also seems to 'recognise' and display the flat board (background) and every element ,dust even, 'height' ..ontop as TWO seperate super clear layers!.. when screen jiggles its awesomeness is truly revealed . .its a beauty!. thanks i now know what im gonna buy myself for xmas. 🤩

The guy with the bag of cash, sounds like there was some extremely important info on that laptop he needed "obviously it was for the data as he clearly could have easily bought a new laptop" and by this "friend," how quickly he wanted to get out of there, and how much he paid. Probably a man who has more money than he can spend and for whatever reason you want to imagine doesn't want a lot of questions and keeps contact to a minimum. Not even going to speculate on his line of work, but it must have been nice to get such a good payday.

I had a customer once who asked me how much would it be to replace the battery for an electic scooter that he would pay me for taking a look inside and get the battery details and measurements because he was going to order one from China. He already was expecting to pay about £300. When I told him maybe it's the charger's fault, I'll take a look and test if you need a new battery or a charger. Then, once I tested and saw he only needed a new charger for £30, he gave me £100 total so 3x times the price of the product.

What an amazing story about the $2000. As another poster said, you have a great sense of humour. I thoroughly enjoy your educational videos along with your commentary. I recently bought some merchandise from you, which I am delighted with but because it was shipped to the UK my thieving govt put a tax on it of £54. This isn't a criticism of you in any way, just a heads up to other UK customers. Another great fix and as much as I'm astonished by your skills, Big Boss makes putting devices back together look very easy when it isn't.
