"Like a one man human centipede"

Is this what he's seeing?

Has anyone seen that movie where society gets dumber and dumber, until they don't know how to fix things anymore.
I believe we can now confirm patient zero.
 
This is what tech support has to go through, ladies and gentlemen. This is real life. The next time you feel like yelling at the other person on the phone, just remember they've had to deal with people like THIS Hell, they probably dealt with five of them that day before they got to you.

Pay your respects to customer service. Always.
 
"I can't believe we have 6000 people in here watching me fix a broken Playstation 4."

Oh man, there are so many inaccuracies in that statement.
 
It was just working, I leave for 5 mins and he's back to this haha

This dude should separate himself from every tech possible or maybe stream every piece of new tech he gets.
 
(Hey IGN, He fixed it!)

No he didn't. Thread title needs to be updated because he broke it AGAIN.

He isn't looking at the chat where the admin of Twitch has come in to help him.

Guy is streaming his broken PS4(He broke it by unplugging his ps4 while installing something), complains to customer support for 4 hours whilst simultaneously being trolled by the people in his stream(Internet and all that), Ign decides that this is worth posting an article about. Finally through the troubleshooting in that 99% troll comments section he takes his HDD out, tries to turn on his PS4, gets an error, but at least it boots. He then puts the HDD back in and everything work. Guy then proceeds to pat himself on the back for being better than Sony Customer Support.... Then proceeds to once again break the ps4 by trying to download DCUO again. He is currently trying to fix it again, doing things such as turning on the PS4 while the hardrive isn't screwed in, plugging in the hard drive while the system is running, failing at holding the power button the amount of time necessary to boot in safe mode, and much much more, all while ignoring the Twitch admin's good advice. Then he finally listens to good advice, gets it working again, turns it off(to standby) and now it's broken again. He's now in hissy fit mode. Thar's your summary, have fun.

Your first line is wrong. DCOU stalled while he was downloading it and the only way for him to turn off the unit was by unplugging it.

There was a legit problem that caused the system to brick. Just like the guy in the OP.

Damn, I ain't reading through 90 pages.
Is this another legit break or did he purposefully sabotaged the system?
Is the cause faulty HDDs?

One more time:

You're right, sorry, shoulda explained that detail better. edited.
 
This is just as bad as when my cousin thought his Vita was broken because it all of a sudden stopped in the middle of a download and wouldn't turn back on. He called me and after being on the phone for 20 minutes in turned out his battery was just empty...
 
If you have ever wondered why some companies like Nintendo have insane dont do this notices on their products its because of shit like this. I love it.

guy doesn't understand process of elimination. so painful to watch from someone that used to work helpdesk in a past life.

Yeah, it's really strange watching someone who simply doesn't understand the process of troubleshooting. He has the mentality of "Fuck steps 1-5, lets just skip right to step 6! That'll be faster!"
