    Alec Harpers reacted to ShadowCaptain in Apple's Tim Cook declares the end of the PC   
    I don't think all Apple devices are overpriced, but still this is not ONLY related to apple, this applies to Android too, an Android tablet will do what most people need to do
     
    For the average joe, a PC is quite unnecessary, its really only gamers, and high end performance customers that need PCs
       
    its a BIG portion of the market, what are you talking about? enthusiasts are the small portion
     
    The ipad pro comes with  a keyboard, most android tablets can use a bluetooth keyboard - and hook up to a display
     
    EDIT - no but I mean at HOME,they probably dont need a PC, my parents dont, and most of my friends parents really dont use computers much, maybe if they work in an office, not every job requires a PC

    But they already are, for the average user, a student, a parent, a kid,  an iPad or similar device does everything they need, they can browse the web, do basic documents, play basic games, listen to music, watch films, they can stream to their TV using their apple TV, watch netflix, buy movies, edit photos and movies, share to social media
     
    id say 90% of what 90% of people do, is doable on an iPad (or similar)
     
     
    Except for the gaming I do, (which arguably could be feasibly streamed like Nvidia Grid) I dont really need a PC - sure i use adobe suite, but if that comes out for iPad pro - it would do the job just fine, im no pro
     
    my parents ONLY use an iPad, my brother uses his most of the time, my sister does not have a single computer or laptop in the house, just her and her boyfriend use ipads
     
     
    Only me and my brother in my family use PCs, and he really only uses his macbook for work stuff

    Alec Harpers reacted to Caleb_Low in SilverStone Headphone Stand Design Contest   
    I don't have much money to spend on headphones, or things to hang them on, but I wanted something to hang my headphones on after watching this video.
    I went to Home Depot
    found these for $6.99, basically it's a rubber covered bendy wire that you can mount on your wall, I'm guessing that's why there isn't a huge market for headphone stands, so many cheap and easy options. I guess if you have 500-1500 dollars to spend on a set of headphones you'd probably want something better.


    Hopefully this picture uploads properly

    Alec Harpers got a reaction from oThatsEric in need a bit of advice, chrome is too cray   
    The problem is not with your CPU, it's with Chrome. It has turned into a massive resource hog lately. It's gluttony is a well documented issue, Google says it's looking into it but I wouldn't hold my breath.
     
    - First thing you can do is switch to Firefox and use Chrome as your secondary browser. Right now, Firefox is much faster and you can export all your bookmarks from Chrome to it.
    - Second thing you can do, If you really don't want to switch to Firefox, is close some of your Chrome extensions. That's gonna help a bit but it will still run slowly.
    - Whatever you do, don't push your OC for a web browser. That's like taking meth because your coffee grinder is slow.

    Alec Harpers reacted to creativename in Crazy high CPU temps in an OPEN case   
    You're ignorant if you think the stock cooler can't even cool it to decent temperatures. Even on a stock cooler, a intel 5960x will have 30-40 on idle. loads should go up to about 70-90 depending on your ambient temperature. The stock cooler is perfectly capable of cooling. The OP's issue, there's obviously something wrong.
