now, the reps at Micro Center are actually smart and understand computers. the sales associate was doing everything right helping him find a new computer. he figured out his needs (typical old person usage, just web browsing) and brought him to a computer with an i5 (maybe even an i3, can't remember) - overall a very reasonable computer for his needs
 
he complained about the price and how he was being suckered into another slow computer - he wondered why not the bigger one (larger case, i7, 16gb ram, ssd and HDD, more work and power user oriented PC). the rep was smart and talked about he would 100% not be needing the power of an i7
 
the customer kept being stubborn saying he's sick of webpages being so slow to load
 
the sales rep remained civil and explained to him that it was probably his router and/or ISP
 
the customer kept being a total uncooperative PITA and argued he wanted the bigger one so his webpages weren't so slow

Well the time is here folks! 1080 Ti hype train! This was tweeted out by the NVIDIA GeForce Twitter Link:
If you watch slowly you can see the "Ti" in Time is faded last, also the link in the tweet which leads to http://www.geforce.com/ has a countdown with the "Ti" in Time clearly bolded. The hype train is here and I am well aboard and ready to some some 1080 Ti goodness! What about you guys, are you going to pick up a 1080 Ti?

You know, you could just:
Obtain said code Install GFE (use a burner email if you need to) Redeem code Uninstall GFE And that would be the end of that.

I found it hilariously hypocritical when people would be on the net neutrality, "service providers are evil" bandwagon, yet they cheered when they started offering this "free data" for said services
 
net neutrality goes both ways people. equal is equal. so many hypocrites out there that think net neutrality is just about internet speeds

The problem is that people do take PCMR seriously. Many PCMR "members" take it seriously too. It might have started out as a funny joke, ha ha. But the reality is that there is a large subset of the "PCMR" community that in fact, totally, 100% believes their own bullshit propaganda. These people really do attack console users, call them dumb, or say that console users are the reason for all that is horrible in PC Gaming, etc.
 
They're a minority of the group - to be sure. But they're very loud, and they exist.
 
So saying "lol if you take PCMR seriously ur an idiot" is disingenuous, and is equivalent to sticking your head in the sand.

How forum members here choose "NEWS" these days...
 
1. Will this one dramatically interpreted sentence/statement stir up drama?

Do young tech enthusiasts ever bother asking themselves what they're watching?...this is a perfect example to me on why I just /eyeroll on tech youtubers and their associated fanbase
 
I stopped watching Tek Syndicate years ago because it was obvious there was no substantial, interesting content. The Tek shows were nothing more than Logan reading headlines and skimming sparse articles and spouting an opinion. No research on any of the topics nor any actual discussion or insight. Net neutrality topics used to be interesting, but he would never research how the legal process or guidelines work - he would just call everyone idiots. Wendell was the only one providing interesting insight, but that started to fade out as Logan's ego increased and I realized this just wasn't worth my time to watch
 
And for months (back when I watched, years ago), he never bothered to improve in any area. He just grew in ego as being the "correct opinion" as his channel grew. The Tek started turning into soapboxing to his own fanbase (further feeding his ego), and spouting "I don't have time for haters" at any form of criticism. The last word I would ever use to describe him would be "professional". So it's absolutely no surprise it all blew up now. Some people just aren't leadership material - it doesn't matter if you have the fanbase/followers.
 
Again - what does he actually provide? Does anybody ever stop to ask what is interesting about his content? Or do they just blindly watch because it's tech related? There are so many tech youtubers out there that have completely shallow content to me, but people keep watching and I just don't understand why. PcPer provides the best technical discussion, Linus provides the best variety and interesting tech, and Hardware Canucks provides the best critical yet informative reviews on any non-cpu/gpu review. What does TekSyndicate provide?

right, and when that started dwindling, I started questioning why I was even bothering to let this channel spam my newsfeed with junk (last straw was when they started those gaming discussion "shows" that was nothing more than just some non-experienced, non-critic (as in they don't play that many games) ramble on games as if they were stoned/high)
 
seriously people, just because it's tech and you like tech, doesn't make the content any good. don't complain that people who watch TV are just braindead drones watching content when it's clear that youtube audiences are doing the same thing
 
See, I'm not a big fan of TTL/OC3D's youtube (I don't mind his written content) - but at least his videos provide depth. I dislike his content because it's filled with a lot of clutter and seems to lack focus (but haven't watched in over 2 years), There's something there. My last memory of his videos was the 290x review and how he would take the time to show you every step of the card thermal throttling and heat soaking, and it cooling back down. To me, I'm just not interested in watching that whole process - but I can see why some do.
 
Joanne Tech Lover? She actually goes through the software on keyboard reviews. There is still not a SINGLE outlet out there that actually goes over WHAT EXACT CUSTOMIZATION FEATURES I get on an RGB Keyboard from _____ brand. They all say "customization is great and limitless" when it's total crap (for instance, using profile switching on Logitech RGB keyboards limits what lighting features you can use - nobody seems to go into that detail on a $150++ keyboard)
 
Paul's Hardware seems to have taken a vlog'er/casual "build it for the enjoyment of tech" kind of approach, which I can respect (but have little interest in following)
 
JayzTwoCents I still do not understand why everybody watches. He's not a professional speaker or builder or...anything - I don't see what he provides. He just puts up an expensive camera (video quality is good, admittedly) and rambles. I remember when he was building skunkworks and failed to measure radiator clearances - that was it for me. I just didn't see what he was good at or interesting in providing me.
 
I could go on, but now I'm rambling...(ironically)

Post by Wendell on the forums:
The picture I posted earlier (the one where Logan says he is Steve Jobs from now on) is from that Google Drive link.
 
 
Pistol has also made some interesting posts on the official Discord channel.
Pistol is saying that:
1) Qain got fired because he didn't do his job. (source 1 and 2)
2) Claims that Wendell has been taking money from Tek Syndicate to fund his own company. (source 1, 2, 3 and 4)
3) Claims that Wendell doesn't actually own 30% of Tek Syndicate and that Logan owns 100% of the company. (source 1)
4) Claims that Logan has not used any Tek Syndicate money for personal things. (source 1)
5) Qain and Wendell are lying about a bunch of things. (source 1)
6) Pistol removes the ability to look at chat history on the Discord server and when asked why, Pistol replied with "I dont have to explain myself to anyone.". (Source 1, 2)

Exactly, but for me the Wendell portion of the channel was already too small years ago for me to bother wasting time and being spammed with the clutter. They would be benefiting more from me (in subscriber count and Logan's ego feeding) than I am benefiting from content I actually enjoy from them (Wendell). To me, it's not enough, so I went elsewhere (but props to those that stuck it out just for his content)
 
it was like being subbed to an e-sports channel that spammed your feed with uploads of every. single. match. from. every. single. team. when all I really wanted where the popular matchups/games from ___ tournament that I wanted to see

Talk about gross over simplification. One effect in all of Ansel does not equate to Ansel being stolen.

last time at Micro Center there was a middle-eastern guy being a stereotypical asshole, unfriendly, person
 
now, the reps at Micro Center are actually smart and understand computers. the sales associate was doing everything right helping him find a new computer. he figured out his needs (typical old person usage, just web browsing) and brought him to a computer with an i5 (maybe even an i3, can't remember) - overall a very reasonable computer for his needs
 
he complained about the price and how he was being suckered into another slow computer - he wondered why not the bigger one (larger case, i7, 16gb ram, ssd and HDD, more work and power user oriented PC). the rep was smart and talked about he would 100% not be needing the power of an i7
 
the customer kept being stubborn saying he's sick of webpages being so slow to load
 
the sales rep remained civil and explained to him that it was probably his router and/or ISP
 
the customer kept being a total uncooperative PITA and argued he wanted the bigger one so his webpages weren't so slow
 
felt bad for the sales rep, he was being helpful in every way possible - some people just need to be slapped
