1. My friend started gloating to me about his "SUPER HARDCORE PC IT KILLS YOURS", he doesn't know the PC I built when he was watching was just for light gaming and surfing the web..
Right, so he was like. OMFG I HAVE 16GB RAM SO FAST SPEED, I said " 1333mhz, seriously? And he said, yeah I have 2666 because it's doubled! (at that point i died.) And then he said he has an i7 4771, I was actually impressed by that... H81 motherboard, that's right. Not even H87, H81. Then he said it's faster because he has a 3TB HDD.. I facepalmed so hard I think I broke my nose. After this I see he has a generic PSU, and he replies with ELECTRICKZ NO MATTER BITCH. The worst part is, he said it was an "Excellent Gaming PC"... 650TI. 'Nuff said.
 
2. Everyone thinks i'm Space Jesus because I built a PC, when i'm actually Athiest. They ask me to "Install More CPU", or "Download more Gigahertz", or the worst part, Make my RAM bigger.
 
3. Every single time I give advice, they ignore it, and go buy what their "Tech-Savvy" friend says, who says if you turn off your PC it will need to have Windows reinstalled, so they buy A MAC. A BLOODY MAC. Then they ask me for help, and I just put a virus on it, which they are confused at because "Macs don't get viruses".

._. Well i'm an idiot then.. *shoots self*

Thanks, that fixed it. Can't believe I forgot to do that

Looks nice. Better than my build that I'm doing (sig)

When I initially put my first rig together, I just plugged everything in and let it run like that for about a day or so, and everything was just fine. However the next day, when I got around to doing some cable management, and I routed everything to where I wanted it, whenever I would turn on my machine, my monitor would turn on for a split second and turn right back off. I spent a good half-hour trying to figure out what the hell I did wrong. After taking a more careful look in my machine however, I realized that my CPU power cable was inserted backwards... *facepalm*

Is it just me or is this empty?

Is it just me or is this empty?

So, quite recently, I got the Samsung Galaxy S5 after my valiant S2 died after years of service (lest we forget), and I felt like sharing random stuff with you people about it.
 
Basic Overview: I got the 16GB model with 4G, this comes with a Quad Core processor at 2.5GHZ, and the Snapdragon 801 chipset, and with 2GB of RAM. I cried because this phone is faster than my Surface... Anyway, the phone is IP67 Water Resistant, and comes with a 1080x1920 Super AMOLED screen. And, I got a 64GB microsd card from Kogan to put in it. woop woop
 
Aesthetics and Build Quality: The phone is quite nice to look at, with the odd perforated back, which I have a love/hate relationship with, it's nice and grippy to hold, but horrible looking. The phone is built very solidly, however, the back falls off quite easily when dropped, which breaks the rubber seal that makes it water resistant. The phone has a chromey plastic around the sides, which a flap on the bottom covering the microUSB 3.0 port.
 
Buttons/Ports/Connectivity: The phone has a volume rocker on the right and a lock/power button on the right, both of which are very clicky, it has a home button on the front of the phone, at the bottom, which Samsung has become known for, to the left of the home button, there is a multitasking button, which has replaced the menu button, but if you hold it down it still acts as a menu button, and to the right of the home button, a back button, which does what you expect. Both the back and multitasking buttons are backlit and are on the touch screen, and not physical. The phone has a microUSB 3.0 port on the bottom, but for some unknown reason, Samsung only provides a microUSB 2.0 cable in the box. There is an audio port at the top, and Samsung provides some excellent in-ear headphones with the phone as well. The phone has a STUPID ***** BUCKET FULL OF ****** ON THE ********* BACK *****.. Yes, I meant the phone has a speaker on the back. OH MY GOD SAMSUNG GOD DAMN IT PUT IT IN USEFUL PLACE ARGGHGHHGHGHGHG! The phone has an IR blaster on the top, and the smart remote app does work, and the heart beat sensor is right under the camera, but it's a bit iffy.
 
Internet/4G/Call Quality: The phone has excellent reception, with crystal clear audio when in a call, the wi-fi works fine,  but is a bit slow for my tastes, the 4G however... GOD DAMN THAT IS FAST.
 
Everyday Usage: TouchWiz WAS horrible, but they've toned it down alot now, and with enough settings done... like DISABLING MY MAGAZINE DEAR GOD DOES ANYONE USE THAT CRAP!? It provides quite a nice android experience, and is very zippy. Android 4.4.2 KitKat still has Holo Blue, which I hate, even though they said that they'd remove it... oh well. The keyboard that comes with the phone... god damn. It's amazing, with the dedicated number row, and always registers correctly, and comes with Swype functionality, but I STILL DOWNLOADED SWIFTKEY LEL. The phone has a 2800MaH battery, and lasts for a good 2-3 days with normal usage, and probably 1 day with POWER USAAAGE. The screen on this phone... oh... oh yees.... words can not explain how good it is, it may not be 4K like the LG G3, but god damn, this screen just POPS, the screen has great color depth, and is crystal clear, and you can view it at any angle, and the brightness only needs to be at about halfway even in direct sunlight, but at full brightness.... DEAR GOD, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE AT FULL BRIGHTNESS. The heart rate sensor does work, but you need to be very still, and it's quite useless to me. The fingerprint reader is a two edged sword, when it works, it works pretty damn well, but when it doesn't... GOD DAMN IT PHONE RECOGNIZE MY FINGER! This can usually be rectified with a damp cloth though, and just a slight wipe then dry on the screen. Oh yeah, it is actually waterproof, very waterproof, i'm completely confident swimming with this phone.
 
Camera: Amazing, just freaking amazing, this phone's camera is 16 Megapixels, and can shoot videos in 4K, and my god, the pictures it takes are AMAZING, and the selective focus works 90% of the time, and comes out beautifully, so this camera is extremely recommended, and proves you don't need some weird 41MP camera on some Windows Phone.
 
Good Phone, 10/10 would steal again.
