Your Tech Pet Peeves

low res pictures and wallpapers

[frostin1990]

IPS glow and

dead pixels and all the companies act like its not a big deal selling a defect pixel on a brand new monitor and not covering it under warranty makes me feel sick.

[Rageodontist]

Having alot of icons on the desktop... My desktop only has one folder called "Everything" for everything

I just have one column on the left side of my desktop but anymore than that an I want to punch throw my monitor.

[Fluffinator]

When someone keeps poking my screen with their filthy fingers!

[chilicheeseburger]

When people don't set the right aspect ratio for their screens. Especially with TVs

[Toggle]

When people have a ten year old computer that has barely a gigabyte of RAM and complain that it's slow. Then when you try to get then to upgrade they say that they are fine with it being slow and want to get their money's worth out of it.

[HappyChubbs]

Bad Cable Management.

 

When people don't know the difference between byte and bit.

Happens a lot with internet speeds. 75Mbps internet speed ≠ 75MBps download speeds.  Though, good play on ISPs.

[mr.skyrim_pc]

When people refer to everything as an app.

[Polyvalent]

When people rationalize not upgrading by saying they'll wait for the next improvement.

odds are when that improvement comes out another is right around the corner. You'll be waiting forever.

I can understand that actually. It's not always the best time to upgrade.

Yes, you are correct.  It isnt always the best time.   But never upgrading due to the fact that something new is coming in a year or so.. 

 

I guess what I'm saying is, unless the timeframe for "something new" is reasonably close, upgrading to current-gen is probably better than waiting forever.  In the time it takes for the next huge thing you could probably go current gen and still save up for the next big ol dandy

Cable management, scratches on anything tech, and cluttered desktops and desks

[Socky]

Having AA on, nty

Can't have skype open (when not in use because its connected to my facebook and it annoys the shit outta me from the messaging)

Firefox with no bookmark bar or menu bar

[NannerBeans]

People buying $10 headphones or gaming headsets then complain that they break. 

[beau]

VGA and DVI plug screws

[Stadiz]

People using VGA

tech/network companies that do lawsuits for there own greed

 

but most of all is confetti. the horror...

[The Crazed Child]

Cases with no cable management holes. 

People using PS/2 keyboards and mice. It's outdated by so much.

Low-end GPUs with crazy amounts of VRAM to persuade n00bs to buy them.

[TheProfosist]

I have so many it unreasonable to list them all.

Top 5?

[crazydog2580]

recently Linus has been annoying me in his videos constantly refreshing his phone while recording. I know why he does it as he most likely either has notes or a stopwatch running be still... 

would It be that hard to have a monitor/TV setup with what running on it. I mean the guy has a house full of gear.

[TheProfosist]

Top 5?

I don't know if these are my top 5 but they have to be up there.

1. Non temporary files on the desktop

2. File extensions not enabled

3. Little to no cable management

4. Tell me its too hard or you can't do it without even really trying

5. Setting your resolution lower so everything is bigger on screen. Ex native 1600x1200 at 1280x1024 or even worse 1280x1024 at 1024x768.

[crooked windows]

Morons that use tablets to take b$#@dy photos and videos at outdoor venues shows blocking all those behind. I'll use then as target practice and in the past have had people hand me the stones.

[P e r s e p h o n e]

Flame wars over tech brands. I'm pretty sure something like this has been iterated exponentially but it got to be that way because more and more people kept saying so. 

[MrTiC]

Bad console ports.

People saying playing games are a waste of time, while they watch tv half the time.

Dust.

When for some reason you cant instal OS on SSD, and then when it does works it fuckes up the HDD

[juretrn]

Generic mice and keyboards.
