You know you're a techie when. . .

When you realize that 99% of computer science majors know absolutely nothing about computers. 

 

When you constantly have a tech forum open on any and all devices you have with you. 

 

When you count down the minutes before the regular daily tech/game sale/s occur/s.

When you are the person who fixes everyone PCs around the house and they look like you are a hacker...

 

 

.. but in reality you just press "no" on the Antivirus, delete some stuff from C: if it is full, and delete some Malware that they definitely did not install

When you don't call yourself a `techie` because the word for a `non-techie` is unknown. Why would you need words for both day and night, when you only know of day? Only then do you form true self-awareness.

When you have a lot of friends that ask your help for their pc all the time, and never give you something back.

 

Negative issue that i had for a while actually, but i managed to get rid of these idiots... Tbh such persons can't be your friends.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

Noob, they start at 1-2AM in my time zone, yet I still watch them ;p.

Only if I'm tired or have something important the other day I skip and watch the archive.

Sadly I'm banned (dunno why) from the Twitch chat, which was a fun bonus of watching it live.

Teacher- Hey (Pugs501) can you help me with this?

Me (Pugs501)- Sure...

Teacher- My Laptop isn't connecting to the internet, can you fix it?

*As I scanned the laptop I found the issue*

Me (Pugs501)- Hey Teacher, I found your issue.

Teacher- What was it?

Me (Pugs501)- Your laptop was in Airplane Mode.

Because he had a hard drive.

because you cannot be self aware if you can't define what is yourself and beyond yourself.

You see a commercial promoting a app and someone supposedly using it in a Windows phone, only for it only to be available on iOS and Android
