Spent about an hour doing a thorough clean of all my fan filters. 

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

I saw a kid use Comic sans on his essay, I promptly grabbed it and said NOPE.

I tested the response time of a smart tv. Then a sales person came and said "stop touching it, it took me 30 minutes to get it into demo mode" I looked at her "Serious, what demo mode? It says NO SIGNAL" 

 

Stupid german salesperson. At ABC Warehouse I could always test the TVs and they even said it is fine if I do it.

You should underclock it! It will reverse the effect!

I could UC it to 200MHz so that it will last for the next resident computer geek to come to my school once I graduate.

earlier today i worked out the cost of 4 cubic meters of gold and 1 cubic meter of obsidian (not kidding)
I pointed out that going to a 760k from an a8-6500 wouldnt relieve a cpu bottleneck (which isnt there btw) because they're both richland based quad cores.
watching allot of TNG and lois and clark (from the 90's), yeah there's 110GB im never getting back..
helping make a minecraft server for the 3rd time in 2 years.
learning the change in architecture from g92 to g200b to gf100.
shopping for keyboards, monitors, fx8320(postponed), r9-270 (overclocked it), blew a powersupply, buying new powersupply.
adding res and shader packs to minecraft (trying to)
gaming on tomb raider, arma 3, world of tanks, skyrim, robot arena 2, moh warfighter, benchmarked 2 cards on unigen valley and heaven whilst toying with tesselation.
proved to a friend that "when you stump your toe you actually break it" is bullsh*t
looked for a 42in 2560x1600(or 1440) tv (or monitor) that was a reasonable price for me.
had trouble connecting to WOT servers so ran a 60ft ethernet cable to my next door neighbors router...
found out that paypals terms and conditions is longer than hamlet.
played my sega megadrive verII with some friends (they loved it!)

Explained to my friend why you can't replace the parts between laptops that don't have matching specs via text while talking over teamspeak to my Planetside 2 outfit and playing Planetside 2.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Desktop: i5-4670k - 8gb 1600MHz - MSI 7850

Laptop: i7-4810QM - GTX 870m - 8gb RAM

don't speak japanese LOLOLOLOL

 

Most salespeople are 400 Euro guys, so most of them don't really have a clue of the stuff they are selling. Another example: Aquastop will save you water. No, it is a backpressure valve.

I don't know if it's geeky or nerdy... But i am currently 2 weeks ahead in my studies.

 

I spent about 20 minutes getting the brightness,colour and contrast just right on my monitor.

And i spent about 30 minutes cleaning my case and peripherals with cuetips and microfiber cloth.
