That 4K livestream to his other phone is wild, like who is even watching that all day. Had almost the same thing happen at a spot in Chiang Mai, guy was uploading drone footage on a loop and tanked the whole place. What worked was grabbing coffee and just asking him "hey man, is your stream running ok, cause the rest of us are crawling" like it was a shared problem, not an accusation. He had no clue he was the cause and cut it down to 1080 on the spot. Key is doing it one on one and not in front of everyone, cause calling someone out in the room makes them dig in. If he blows you off, then you go to whoever runs the place, since it's their wifi and their problem to fix.

Cheap ones last forever if you oil them right.

That Tuesday night reflow hits different when you know the switch cost more than the whole board should have. Once you go bare board you never go back, because now you're picking the switch and the jack and the wire gauge yourself instead of paying someone to make that call for you. Same deal with the enclosure, buy plain and drill it yourself, and suddenly the kit markup looks like straight up robbery.
