Sins in technology

Those shitty overpriced pre-built computers.

 

I'm just going to point out here, that many Pre-Built computers actually have comparable prices to DIY computers, because of the manufacturers getting a discount on Windows and things like that. If you take a base model Alienware X51 ($699.00), and replicate the parts in PCPartPicker, then the price wouldn't be that different. And PCPartPicker uses the LOWEST price from multiple stores. It's only the higher end computers that end up being overpriced, like maybe $800.00+.

Optical mice are slow as balls, I will never go back to that primitive method of mouse tracking

The advantages are: surface compatibility, and some are more accurate.

 

The advantages of optical would be lack of mouse acceleration.

[Admiaczking]

So you are one of the geniuses that say higher DPI is more better?

No, I don't go above 1600 DPI, but with an optical mouse the cursor tends to move slower than the mouse

I edited it to be less rude. Sorry.

 

Btw you have a nice "mouse speed" option in windows.

Here give this a read. I found it fairly accurate. Hes a bit too extreme against laser, but right overall.

Yeah I know of that but laser mice are much more precise. I compared the movement of my optical mouse to my laser mouse and found that the cursour of the optical mouse lags behind the movement of the mouse slightly, whereas with my laser mouse the cursour follows my mouse exactly. Why wouldn't you want that? Most gaming mice are laser anyway

Then you have a crappy optical mouse.

But I've read before that all optical mice are less precise than laser. Also yeah my optical mouse sucks, it stopped working after less than a year

I've own a G500 and a G400s. I like the G500 quite a bit, it is a really solid mouse and I highly recommend it. I have also (briefly) used a G5. I am currently using a G400s, a pretty good optical mouse. I personally much prefer it over my G500. I haven't found it any less accurate when both are used on a mousepad, but it is certainly more twitchy on a desk. I go with optical because while used on a mousepad it is no less accurate than a laser used on the same mousepad, in my experience, and the lack of mouse acceleration with optical is actually really massive to me.

Let's get back to topic.

 

I say advertising SATA cables as 6 Gb/s then overpricing them. All SATA cables are equal!

There is no mouse acceleration with my mouse

4:3 aspect ratio for pro players in CS:GO.

 

ffs guys come on.

 

Yeah cause you know, using a 120hz tn panel with latency is soooo much better than using a CRT monitor with practically no latency or refresh rate cap.

No, laser mice are shit.

 

unevenly spaced motherboards made for "triple SLI"

coloured fan cables

bright blue internal USB3.0 plug

coloured anything

green PCBs past 2001

"silent" fans as loud as deltas

 

Sole reason I refuse to use m.2 ssds. They might be faster than regular ssds, but as long as they look super fugly I won't ever think about using one.

 

2 pin casefans.

The fact that you can't use internal storage from android by default for /system. It's not like google using fucking hunderts of mb's while internal is bigger and almost empty.

USB 3.0 front header.

Windows 8.1

 

You mean Windows 8, Windows 8.1 isn't that bad and anyone who thinks so is a complete moron.

No, Laser mice have an inherent amount of acceleration to them, which makes them worse. Also,you said they are more accurate, which is a contradiction because it is impossible for a sensor with inherent acceleration to be more accurate than one without.

 

 

Anyways I hate when people bitch about mouse acceleration, yet use laser mice without knowing laser mice will give them mouse acceleration regardless of whether or not its disabled in games.

 

Also laptop manufactures who put a fn key int he bottom left corner of the keyboard. Fuck you, thats where ctrl is suppose to be.

You only think that because you have nothing good to compare it too, just like I thought my old tn panel was good before I saw an a professional IPS panel geared towards color working.

TN panels support higher refresh rates, IPS panels are better to look at. I think I'll stick with TN, framerate matters a lot more to me than a pretty picture

$100 cables that are advertised as super fast 100% gold plated stuff... 

 

Those poor ill informed consumers.... 

[c3p0]

Oh you fanboy. Try phanteon or xfce and then rethink if 8.1 sucks or not. The whole 8.x windows is a tablet optimized OS not desktop optimized. But whatever you sheep will buy it cuz it's windows.

thats WHY i say laser mice are a sin.. and i have it disabled AND using mousefix to remove it even from the registry... so yea.. i know that laser is shit and i know that i have NO acceleration..
