I have a new one:

 

 " So I learned that not all CPUs run at the same speed due to variations in the manufacturing process. The higher quality the silicon used, the higher the clockspeed that can be achieved. That's why we have i7's ranging from $200, to $1000, essentially they're all the same chip".

people seem to be amazed that I am running 4 screens off the same computer whenever they come over to my house. I get asked "how do you move your mouse across all the different computers like that?" 

I have a dual monitor set up right now and sometimes i spend 30 seconds trying to find out where my mouse pointer is. I cant imagine having 4 screens haha

"the model of my asus CPU is x551c"

"Maybe I'll get someone to build me a new CPU"

i had a computer hardware teacher in college actually hand out a sheet with the names of each component,  the everything together was the cpu, the cpu actually was the processor, the harddrive was just labeled storage, ram was labeled something stupid like backup storage, the monitor was just display.  and then he argued with me about why it was all completely wrong.

 

also, used to work for apple tech support so here we go...

----

me:click on the apple in the top left corner of your screen

cust:wheres that

me:in the top left hand corner of your screen

cust:i dont see it

me:what do you see

cust:i see the time, a battery, a pizza slice

me: thats the top right, i need you to look at the top LEFT, thats the other side of your screen

cust:oh ok sorry!

me:so do you see the little silver apple?

cust:where?

me:jesus fucking christ are you retarded?

my manager:what did you just say?

cust:what?

me:*click*

-----

me:thank for calling apple application support, how can i help you?

cust:my computer is broken

me:how is it broken?

cust:idk it just is

me:was it working previously?

cust:no i just bought it and the screen is black

me:oh ok, so it just wont turn on. well i see that you have an imac, so just for fun, go ahead and reach around the right side and press the power button on the back

cust:nothing happened

me: lets make sure the power cable is plugged in all the way

cust: what do you mean?

me:the power cable has to plugged in for the computer to turn on sir..

cust:but i was told it was completely wireless!!!

----

cust:i heard there was a virus for macs going around and i think i have it  (this was during the time of "flashback" for those of you who know what that is)

me:have you updated flash in the past month?

cust:no

me:then you dont have it

cust:but i know i have i virus because my computer is going really slow!!

me:lets look into why that could be *find literally 270,000 files in the trash*   thats the problem, lets empty your trash

cust:no!!

me:why the fuck not?

cust:i keep my important files there so it doesnt take harddrive space!!

me:wtf is wrong with you!!

my manager:what did you just say?

me:ya know what, im gonna go ahead and let you talk to one of our senior advisors and he should be able to help you out..

 

EDIT:sorry cant get spoilers working cuz im dumb apparently, so its a little lengthy

I doubt that you swore at people 3 times and APPLE SUPPORT decided to keep you on. They can't damage their name.

"I dont know, power something"

Me- Can you check?

"Yeah I'll google it"

Me- Ok, Is it AMD or Nvidia?

(afew minutes later)

"its an AMD r7 260"

Me- Mate that wont run everything at 200+fps, not at 1080p

"it will, (loads CSGO on menu gets 78fps) - oh its probably slow because im streaming"

Me- LOL,..nice "tech stream guys"

technically worked for acs/xerox who was contracted by apple to do applecare support.  and yes i did swear at people, usually muted myself first.  but since we didnt have a script, the idea was to have the same general..attitude is the wrong word.. but if they were swearing like a sailor(and not cuz they were pissed off), then it was more acceptable that i did too.  i actually had a lot of leaway in what i said.  had people straight up tell me they were coked out when they called, i could literally say w/e i wanted and it was probably fine. i did get written up a few times for it though.  having the best call stats on the entire floor helps
