samiscool51 got a reaction from WhitetailAni in Experiences with non-techies
http://www.livescience.com/50643-watch-lithium-battery-explode.html
it's a really good read
------------------------------------- Break
my friend is a dumbass when it comes to tech, she asked me the fundamental way a PCB works (she's still in univeristy doing a report for English and she had to pick a topic of her choosing), i told her and this was the final product
____
my explanation
PCB is an acronym for printed circuit board. It is a board that has lines and pads that connect various points together.on it there are traces that electrically connect the various connectors and components to each other. A PCB allows signals and power to be routed between physical devices. Solder is the metal that makes the electrical connections between the surface of the PCB and the electronic components. Being metal, solder also serves as a strong mechanical adhesive.
______
her explanation (simplified)
it stands for printed circuit board, it's something that has lines that power conections and componets, it's filled with metal called solder, that holds the board together.
some of it is wrong but given her limited attention span, she probely can't do better than this
she failed enlish because the teacher she had was on Holiday and they got a substitute to fill in, he worked as a electrician before this and failed her because what she said was wrong

samiscool51 got a reaction from VioletGiraffe in HDMI THIEVES!!
use linus's preferred method to try and stop the thieves:
zip-ties!
tie them to the wall port and your problem should be solved
(unless people cut the tie off, then get metal ones (if they exist))

samiscool51 got a reaction from VerticalDiscussions in Asus PG35VQ (and Acer X35) - 35" ultrawide 1440p, HDR, 200Hz, G-sync
i will get excited when a 4K ultra wide 240hz HDR G-sync OLED RGB gaming monitor comes to market
i have looked for so long for something like that so my in-planning stage build DOMINATION-GENERATION-GENESIS (might rename it); can take advantage of said screens
maybe asus can make one....

you don't have a choice for having bloatware

leadeater: again, some of the info is wrong

samiscool51 got a reaction from Beskamir in Anti AI AI
an AI to beat an AI
AI's are just neural networks trying to copy others (a computerised version of a baby but it knows how to calculate PI to the 1000th decimal) and it can learn how to improve itself to beat it's competitor
wait....
thats been done already...
many times...
that chess robot that beat that chess master guy, is an example of a robot learning how to beat it's component....
these people aren't doing anything new, this is crap, i want my money and time back!

samiscool51 got a reaction from 8uhbbhu8 in LGBT community
almost no one tolerates same sex marriage. it's unfair and completely stupid that two people who are in love with each other can't get married because they are the same sex, the problem is people who don't like gay people and want to stop them from being happy (pun not intended).
yet another rant... f**k... i should stay away from topics that i have strong feelings for....

samiscool51 got a reaction from leadeater in Cheaper File Server Challenge
@leadeater yea, all of our work servers are custom made, my other tech friends say it's a stupid idea to custom build a server due to no-one testing the hardware config, i backup my statement saying it's cheaper and more customizable in the long run as the system can be upgraded without much effort and an OEM server with custom MB's and stuff.
