Experiences with non-techies

I had a conversation with a person named Ryan.

Me: What are you getting for Christmas?

Ryan: A PS4!

Me: Cool.

Ryan: What are you getting?

Me: A gaming PC!

Ryan: Alienware?

Me: Hell no.

Ryan: What else could you get?

Me: A custom PC built by me.

Ryan: That sounds hard. Just get a PS4.

After that, I had and still have problems making friends.

 

 

Now ask him how many mega/gigabytes his phones camera have.

 

Next time, please consolidate your posts into one. You're post farming and notification molesting by posting like that.

Sorry. I dont mean to nofication molest because im not a fourm asshole that tests people. Anyways, I have a story. This kid named Zach has issues. We have a sworn hatrid against each other and I do nothing, he just acts like a jerk. What happened is I told everyone in the "computer expert teachers class" is that I am going to build my own PC. He likes to think hes better than me despite everyone else belives in me. Anyways, he got all like OMG, HES A LIAR IN MY FACE. So he starts putting his inner dick, which pisses me off. Every day, he would come and say "How is your PC going". I would be like getting my parts. He says my gpu never existed, which made me cringe inside. He told me he wanted proof that i actually built, it, so I come back with proof, and guess what? Hes like who the f*ck cares? Lets just say I slapped him in the face and he didnt tell because he knew it was coming. Now he really hates me, but slapping him felt very good. :)

I thought I had some money... Oh wait... I spent it all ;(

I always say Kingpin, dunno why

It's easier.  Who really wants to reach for that weird "|" key instead of an "i"?

My life is consumed by CS:GO, even though I'm not exceptionally good at it.

But don't you know? Macs are immune to everything that can go wrong with a PC! Everything!

Of course! Macs never have problems! Ever! 

*serious note though* never actually had a component of an Apple computer fail on me nor have I had to reinstall the OS because of viruses etc but I know damn well that OSX does not kill-proof a hard drive xD

I swear if someone has a HDD from like a macbook today and he barely uses the computer and in like 2040 or something like that and it still boots those future Apple fanboys are going to say and believe OSX extends a HDDs life.

I don't think so... as far as I heard, iOS9 will make it shatterproof but not to the degree of a .50 BMG... more like .50 ACP (the pistol round) at 3m fired from underwater...

 

Then there's the iPhone 32S which will feature a 32" IPS retina screen...

I work at Staples and cater to the questions of old people (most are really nice, just a bit ignorant of this stuff), and general business douchebags 24/7.

 

You'd be surprised at the questions you get from working at the Tech department. lol an older woman who brought in her computer for repair was still using Limewire and Windows Vista.. Go figure lol

I bet that the iPhone 7 will be able to pop out of your pocket and attack potential murderers.

My parents bought "Finally fast", and then they slowly realized it was never going to be fast.

My parents said that a prebuilt PC is better than one on parts, because a G3258 on a Z97 @ 4.8 ghz + 270 will not work and will not be better than an i5 650 + 750 Ti that fails the drivers twice a day. Also, they said a Full HD Intel is better than a BenQ, because it's a noname.

This isn't really non techie stuff, but my schools ICT guys blocked bing.

They tried to block YouTube but if you go to google.co.uk and select YouTube from the apps in the top right, you can watch as many dank memes as you want. Then copy and paste from wikipedia to show you did your work. Done
