Someone once said this -----> 'You can buy the safest car in the world but it doesn't decrease the chances of you having an accident, BE A BETTER DRIVER' I think it was Carey Holzman who said it but I really can't remember.

 

It was, he says it at virtually all his 'presentations'

It is a very good quote and I'm a huge fan of him though I've not watched any of his videos are a few months

@FireFoxYou ever listen to his tech-vets podcast with Mike Smith?  He strikes me as not  having a very nice personality yes he knows computers inside out but some of his opinions strike me as quite 'out there' that Mike seems to have a more realistic attitude.

When they're possessive, cause steve job's owns god and everything else, so it's always a possessive word.

Thats not what a possessive is, and even if it was, when a word is possessive and ends in an s even without being possessive, the apostrophe goes after the s. A correct use would be "That crappy computer is Steve Jobs'."

I don't like how or understand why they actively avoid being informed on computers, are they afraid of being nerds? I have a hard time believing that everyone is that insecure.

People with consoles that try to use words that they don't understand.

One of my friends tried to convince me that running 720p and upscaling it to 1080p is better than native 1080p because it adds quality. I don't think he knows what upscaling actually is... This was in an argument between Xbone and PS4, me claiming that the PS4 is more powerful because it can run native 1080p (in some games) and the Xbone cannot.

Also, someone once said that antialiasing is bad that's why console don't use it.

The thing that's the most annoying is when they refuse to acknowledge that they're not as tech savvy as they think, and they refuse to learn how things actually work.

None of those things bother me because I prefer not to waste my time giving useless craps.
