Your Tech Pet Peeves

xrex64

So i'm the only one that has common sense and turns my monitors and other things off at night?

 they turn off ?  :o

 

and mine would be motherboards without a Q-connector and no speaker or readout on a mobo...so annoying if you're trying to diagnose a problem

How I cant sleep in a room without a computer running. If I turn my computer off and there are no fans running, I just can not fall asleep.

Is your computer particularly loud? I can't sleep with mine ON, though I can't fall asleep in total silence either. Usually I just play some long ASMR clip on my tablet and I fall asleep in the meantime.

Rule with your heart,

And live with your conscience.

I can barely hear it when it's on ._. I just cant sleep without it because I'm used to it

Bad cable management

Watercooling pipes blocking my view through a windowed case

"Consoles are better than PC's"

"30fps is better than 60fps because it's more cinematic"

Disk is cluttered with useless s**t

Unclear Mic recording

 

And most importantly

3. Toolbars/un-needed programs

4. tons of background programs

5. shitty build quality

6. overpriced flashy shit *cough cough* apple and alienware *cough cough*

7. Loud components/annoying noises from components (fans, hard drives, etc.../speakers buzzing, coil whine, etc...)

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

Mine has the trash can alone. Just so I can admire HD wallpapers.

Bad Optimization

cluttered desktops

bad cable management (even though im a culprit of it)

This can be genre-specific, or personal experience.

 

I'll start:

 

  • I really dislike my monitors for their stand-by blinking LEDs. I can see them at night when I'm trying to sleep and it's annoying.
  • The power and HDD LEDs on my case are also really annoying and I had to disconnect them from the mobo.
  • What's the deal with power supply carrying cases? You don't take your PSU out shopping every so often.
  • Why can't I find a phone with good battery life anymore? I'd happily sacrifice weight, thickness, a huge display and some processing power for something that I don't have to tether to the wall every night.

 

 

THIS.

 

My samsung monitors have this too, and whats worse is they are always slightly out of sync  when flashing
