Biggest misconception in technology?

[caim1231]

What is the biggest misconception you have ever had in Technology? For me it was thinking that the monitor was what gave you good fps. What I said when I falsely learned that was "Oh so its the monitor I need, because all the tower does is send information but the monitor processes it all" Pretty big fail but I know better now. How about you?

Even Core i5 Higher model performs better than Core i7 Lower model, biggest misconception for me.

Nvidia Master Race

 

And performance of Apple products...

I've never used amd, and I dont think I ever will, i've heard really bad things about the heat. Now Apple, Ive never used a macbook, but I have the say, the iPhone 5 was the best phone I've ever had, until my sister stole it and lost it

Im on windows and I download tons of things without using my antivirus and Ive never gotten a virus.

anything more than 8GB is an overkill

1. nobody needs ssds (two years ago)

2. its a good idea to clock a q6600 to 4.3 ghz on a ws board (two years ago)

3. nvidia masterrace (two years ago)

4. more cpu cores mean better performance (five years ago)

5. you can work with sap if you just try to (4 month ago)

6. linux sucks (2years ago)

7. there will never be an usable android device (two years ago)

 

years are meant to show when i actually was convinced that i am wrong

ive learned my lessons you culd say

[caim1231]

this 

also 

amd gpu's and cpu's are bad and you cant play games on them,

you need a gpu to run chrome applications and flash games

ssd's dont have any effect

4gb ram works fine in games

intel cpu and amd gpu's dont go along

intel makes gpu's

only seagate makes external hdd's

after market cpu coolers are money making strategy

nvidia makes graphics card themselves(pcb) 

you need to know programming to use linux(to some extent yeah but still)

android isnt linux based 

Oh my lord, This seems like stuff one of my friends would say He thinks he knows a lot of computers but he really knows nothing, really annoying

[-TesseracT-]

Mistaking bits and bytes. So many people do it.

[caim1231]

same here,4 of my friends say this stuff and one of them is a pc wannabe,dosent know stuff still blurts out shit...... i tried explaining it to him once that why at some price points amd is better and there is nothing wrong and he was like how would i be able to run windows on amd ..... who even does that 

Best thing I've seen all day.

THIS IS THE STORY THAT MAKES ME WANT TO LEAVE EARTH AND GO TO LIVE ON THE SUN!

 

I know this really sad story about a mutual friend that bought an xbox one, put a picture of it up on facebook, nothing wrong with that, then this idiot puts up a picture of a 4k TV (Not even true 4k lol he got 3840x2160) that he bought and says he will love playing BF4 in 4k (ON A F*CKING XBOX ONE!!!)

 

I would not shoot this man because I would waste a bullet.

Didn't know this, thanks!

Maybe if you had a 360, or a "next gen" console, but the original Xbox did manage to play games better than computers of the time.

[caim1231]

One is when people call any form of an internet connection "WiFi"

FFS people, you piss me off so much sometimes

Oh god... oh..god.....OH GOD...THE HORROR. It saddens me that someone thinks a console can play on such high resolutions..
