It's from an earlier post where a kid's phone which was obviously LG (said LG on chin) was thought by the kid that owned it that it was a samsung.

 

Also it turns out the Zenfone can run windows

I don't speak german either but it makes sense.

 

EDIT: Actually maybe not it would help if I could speak their language. Not sure if it's german either.

not germans. seems turkish

Telus has the best coverage in Ontario and rogers is second best. My scout leader got 5 bars on rogers on silver peak Killarney

1.  A summer or two ago, I had decided to take a 3D design/printing class at my local high school... For the first few minutes of waiting for the instructor, everything seemed to be fine.  After we were all instructed to boot up 'our' computers, another attendee of the class raised her hand... only to ask how to turn it on.

 

2.  A friend asked me to choose some parts for his 'to be' gaming rig.  I had a great system configured for the price, and was wiling to assemble it without charge.  He ended up going to Best Buy and buying a Lenovo, because "it was on sale".  Awhile after that, he had wireless issues, so he reverted to/reinstalled Windows 8 from 10.  That didn't fix the problem.  He spent hours trying to fix it.  As it turned out, he just needed to connect it via Ethernet to his router in order to update the corrupt wireless drivers.  Awhile after upgrading to Windows 10, he decided that he wanted to upgrade to a better GPU.  In order to do that, the PSU needed to be replaced, as it was, after all, from a pre-built Lenovo.  Both GPU and PSU were also purchased at Best Buy, as they "seemed to be good deals".

 

3.  A clueless cousin of the above mentioned friend decided to build himself a PC with the help of his sketchy friend and mother (who most certainly doesn't know much of anything regarding the subject).  His "budget" was around $700.  His first pick for a CPU and GPU were the $390 i7 5820k and a $400 GTX 980.  Needless to say, he still hasn't build his proposed X99 system...

4.  Walked into Best Buy a couple of years ago.  I decided to ask one of their knowledgeable employees if a particular model of desktop (that was right there, in the store) utilized the AM3+ socket.  Said knowledgeable employee responded with a straightforward "I don't Know", then proceeded to walk back to his desk, where he just stood there, doing nothing.

Telus uses bells line. 

:( sadly the areas where Rogers don't cover, nothing covers. My dad used to use Telus (pre 2012) and the areas where it wasn't covered by Rogers wasn't covered by bell also. 

But then he had to switch back to Rogers because there's no coverage at where he works.

Bestbuy employees aren't hired because they actually know the stuff they are selling, they sold my friend a "gaming laptop" with a 940m, and an i3; and their prices prices on any hardware they have are always way to expensive, if they even had anything to chose from in the first place my local bestbuy only stocks r5 230s, and reference 970s for $400.

This is the Biggest FAIL I'v seen in my Live !!!

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

Just heard sales reps (2 men in their 40's) talking about their respective ISP and the speed they get, somehow they called the transfer speed "megabeeps" xD

 

I had such a hard time holding my laugh! I swear I'm not making this up! xD

Only productive contribution he can provide to his work, is by wanking himself. Dumb tard too lazy to even read the stickers that's on dang nabbit desktop.

Went to a store that sold hand bags, and saw this Asian lady who just started speaking Chinese to one of the Asian employees who look like Chinese too. When that lady finished, instead of finding one of their co-workers who actually speaks Chinese, he just says with is arrogant attitude in English, I don't speak Chinese, and walks off. Dumb tard don't like job, then quit and lets someone else do it.

My bio teacher thing that very .bat file or and another extension which is not a picture, video, file or folder is a virus. At times even .exes with no icon. She was about to delete my win7 installation files from the usb i use to install windows saying it was a virus. 

 

 

Since i have got the projector working on her laptop, she say i some how "broke it" for no reason. she is always scared that i have a virus in my computer(i did have malware but i took care of it). 

 

 

Even when virus are even that bad, just have anti virus a normal virus is fine. U know the ones with torrents and stuff.

is it better than my teacher? his computer had a virus and then that virus went onto my usb

after it went onto my usb, i plugged it into my computer and when i did i opened my file (grade file thing.pdf) and after I did, chrome's homepage changed for no reason and I couldn't change it back (didn't seem like there was a virus)

So after I restarted, there was a fucking virus. I booted into windows safe mode and tried to remove the virus but there were a fuck ton, it litereallly hid everywhere and there were 2 rootkits

 

i finally got the time ti install windows 10 again :P
