Your Tech Pet Peeves

I noticed that if you have soup at your desk, the soup can easily get drops on the screen if the water falls from your spoon right

I sit a decent distance away from my PC so that is not a issue.

Tearing

V-sync

Dealing with cable management

Trying to put a 3.5" drive in the Prodigy M

I'm doing a build in one soon, why doesn't it work well?

You can either put it on the bottom or on a little bridge type thing on the side. It is just annoying. Thinking back I would use the bottom mount and install it before to put everything else in.

Small mouse pads, I bought a 10 inch by 11 inch one. It is almost the length of my keyboard.

1. Right click, open in new tab. Come on just middle click it.

2. People who use a closed laptop as part of the desk. I hate people who put drinks, ash trays and everything on top of a laptop.

3. People who don't do something the way I would do it.

I always do 1 just can't cant get un used to it

[TheNinjaNextDor]

People who dont know how to use computers and phones right (im saying people from areas that easily can learn not billy from the middle of the sahara) and treat them as new and unimportant.

I cringe every time someone says GIF wrong.

JIF JIF JIF. (Wait, is that the way you think is right?)

 

 

Anyway, I really don't like tearing or framerates below 30. Monitors running at lower than native resolution really irks me too.

My dad says that my 23 character password is too long and that 8 characters is more than enough. So that's why my 13 character password got hacked then, right?

YES! The creator even came out at an awards ceremony and just said "It's pronounced JIF" but no one listens.

Exactly. I think the majority of people pronounce it jif though..

I guess not from where I am, at school I hear everyone say it as G-IF . It gets me so upset.

[Squabba]

Bad/slow internet connection. I HATE SLOW INTERNET

I don't so much hate that people say .gif wrong, its the people that argue and insist it's G-IF and say the CREATOR IS WRONG!! He created it. He gets to say how it's said. It's J-IF. Get over it.

 

That said, I will keep accidently saying both gif and jif, but know that jif is correct.

[OneGun]

People who think there is no difference from 1080 to 1440p lol..

So we should call it Jraphical Interchange Format?

[hawaiims]

The price of windows keys and the fact that even after paying 100$, you can't even transfer the key to another computer because it's an OEM key (by transfer I mean formatting your old hard drive and then using the key from your old computer on a new one). Another big FU to Microsoft because I know that they sell their keys to prebuilt pc makers for a lot cheaper than 100$.

No, but acronym is pronounced as a soft g. End of discussion.

No, not end of discussion. You don't get to just decide when people stop talking about things. I'm still going to pronounce it however I like, regardless. This isn't something that the creator just gets to decide, either. They aren't some sort law-maker of the English language, and people shouldn't think that just because the creator said so, it must be the only way.

 

But fine. This can go on and on anyway. I'll stop talking about it after this post.

 

 

On-topic: I can't stand seeing people make great builds in the build logs, and then taking the pictures with a cell phone camera, or at least not put some effort into making the shooting environment ideal. It just doesn't do the builds justice.
