    sandpiper131 reacted to dR.Ugz in How do deal with ze vibrationsss   
    i know im late to the party here but, i too own a 750D. the vibration noises have been driving me up the wall lately. i've narrowed it down to 2-3 locations in my build. 
    the side panel, but only once in a blue moon and it i touch it, it seems to fix it. The drive bay(s) the worst, but for some reason i couldn't pin point it until now. the PSU fan filter!​ ​take a look at #3 if you're still having a problem.

    They didn't just mimic the idea, they literally just recreated the same shirt with a different font and a different graphic. It's a shameless ripoff

    You seem to be one of the only people in this post that understands why I posted it. It is basically the exact same thing with the broken letters from the shovel on the exact same letters.

    Realistically there's nothing I can do about it, and even if there was, it has so little impact on our business that I wouldn't bother.
     
    It's a really crappy knock off though. Objectively speaking our design (by Berkel) is SOOOO much better...

    So, here's my experiences, that I can come to think of now:
     
    - After I've fixed a computer for a friend or relative, they always blame me for every future problem.
    - Two guys were talking in an MMORPG I used to play, and one of them said that he overclocked his hard drive and his computer is now more than twice as fast.
    - Whenever I tell someone that I like computers and technology, they always assume I just post stuff on Facebook and play Farmville all day long.
    - My mom freak out every time an email from someone she doesn't know, slips through the spam filter and end up in her inbox. Something worth mentioning is that she use hotmail, so she freaks out a lot.
     
    Edit: fixed the formatting.

    Most seem to have made an opinion on it at the very start based on looks entirely and just continue to follow that opinion, despite changes or other advantages.
     
    Personally, whilst not a fan of metro or whatever its called, and do have startisback installed, the other benefits are great. 
    My PC boots noticeably faster and occasionally some of the metro apps, not so much the start screen, are helpful.
    Its quickly becoming my favourite OS, after using XP for years, 7 for maybe 2, and now 8 for only a few months.

    if you right click the left bottom corner in win8 you get almost all the old functions from the start menu and more, only thing missing is the 10 most used apps, if you really need to use those 10, make a shortcut or pin it to the taskbar or something else.
    the lack of the old startbutton menu is not a problem at all since all the functions is pretty much still there
    and last if you dont like the metro interface, DONT use it, simple! in 8.1 you can set it to boot to desktop and then you just have to make sure you use the right programs to open files, pictures, music and the rest. Easy

    The new start menu isn't even bad. It does take a little bit getting used to, but complaining about it 24/7 isn't going to get Microsoft to change it. Look what they did in Windows 8.1. They added the start button as a big fuck you that just takes you to the metro screen. Which, I think they should have done.
     
    The search function is no harder to use. Simply press the windows key and start typing! Just like Windows fucking 7.
