Your Tech Pet Peeves

" you console nerds will never be able to handle the real power of a PC"

I can't stand pc fanboyz

When my cat thinks that my keyboard would make an excellent bed and doesn't move, even going so far as to climb back up on my desk just to lay there again.

People smashing on their keyboard every time they enter the last keystroke. Nearly everyone computer savvy I've ever came across does this. It doesn't drive me mad but it's kinda irritating.

You would literately have a heart attack if you saw how many chrome tabs I have open, I always have 45+ no matter what.

I only have one pet peeve and that is people going on your machine without asking you, that really rustles my Jimmies. Even-though I have nothing to hide I don't like people using my stuff with out my permission.

MOUSE ACCELERATION!: I am sorry game(no I'm not) but if I wanted you to move my cursor I would let you take the helm and play for me!

 

V-Sync: the input lag associated with it and the people who claim there is no input lag.

 

Framerates below 80: I don't need bloody post processing I want smoothness.

 

Messy Config files: Battlefield I am looking at you!

 

Wasted Storage Space: Years with an 80GB HDD taught me to manage HDD space. I cant stand wasted space.

 

Billions of tabs open on a browser: Unless you are doing a podcast or something where you need to access a lot of sources quickly there is no reason! Close what you aren't using.

 

 

Finally people spreading misinformation although unfortunately that is not limited to tech.

My 23' 1080p monitor has one dead pixel right near the center of the screen.

 

It's bright blue. REALLY bright blue. It pisses me off to no end when gaming.

When people use low resolution wallpapers...

Or use stretched wallpapers.

[Ertman]

I'm the exact opposite. I can't stand a cluttered desktop. I only have Recycle Bin and a shortcut to the folder all my games are in.

  

I have ONLY the recycling bin on mt desktop, NO icons on the task bar... everything is pinned to start

 

I HATE ICONS CANNOT STAND THEM

So Windows 8 can't be that big of deals to you?

Hah.. I solved my tab problems...

NEW GAMING RIG, 500GB HARD DRIVE AND A i7. Mean while the card is a 240 or some crap.

[LOLPhilips]

I'd say tearing, but if I did it would mean I hate my sex life...             Yep went there..

So I'll say dusty set-up, dust on the monitor, desk, the pc and so on. Dust everywhere can't stand it.. (not even from a dust kills your pc stand-point)

1) I can't stand the iPhone videos where the user holds the phone upright. It makes no sense. Who's TV/monitor is shaped like that? ...well hold up, I guess if your monitor orientation can be rotated...but no...they weren't thinking about that as they were recording.

I need to point out here that it's not only iPhone users, but smartphone users in general.

APPLE SUPPORTER!!! STONE HIM!

Trust me, I am not afraid to say that I like Apple.

[the pokemon kid]

When a network switch at work has no Ethernet colour structure! EVERYTHING MUST BE COLOUR CODED! YELLOW FOR COMPUTERS, BLUE FOR OTHER DEVICES AND GREEN FOR CONNECTION INTO FLOOR BOX!!!

 

I'm not mad, am I?

[xrex64]

Trust me, I am not afraid to say that I like Apple.

Ok. We'll just burn you then.

You can tell when it's a really thin aspect video. I never understood that resolution. All the Samsung phones I've had, the vertical orientation of photos or videos was much wider. Still though, I agree, no video from any phone should be recorded upright. It should auto orient. If you hold it upright, your preview should have the black bars on top and bottom.

Well, it's tearing or v-sync

Well, it's tearing or v-sync

Tearing any day of the week.

[Commander_Z]

People that think they know everything about computers and they know next to nothing..... 

[LordTumnas]

Having ANYTHING on the desktop (taskbar minimised and show icons off id how it should be)

Stupid mice, car mice, mini mice, terribad microsoft mice, really low dpi mice, really high dpi mice.

People launching non-steam games through steam, or any game that can work without steam for that matter.

Cluttered desks.

People connecting monitors, keyboards, and mice to a laptop and using it as a desktop. When they never take it anywhere.

Those keyboards that have laptop style keys on them, maye of mine bought the razer one, cost him 90 bucks, he says they are better than mechanical keys...

People who dont know about somethimng and assume its bad. Another mate of mine hadnt read any reviews/seen benchmarks of the titan when it came out. "It cant be faster tham a 680 nothing is faster than a 680"

Shortcuts on the desktop in general and people saying 'rams'.
