Experiences with non-techies

[Benji_w]

I'll repeat what I said last time, literally anything posted on here and a correction by me is met with "Ah this shit again" when I have to explain that intel isn't always the answer and that their parents should of used a condom.

most people just think they get smaller and more to a computer rather than improved arch or layout. Watch a crimesow, they cause the general computer ignorance of the public

Same goes for Nvidia.

I love my 970 87% Asic and 1670mhz core clock for benching 1630mhz stable. Need pascal to drop so I can hunt for a similar overclocking 970 and hard voltage mod them both.

Opera is the best browser.

That's purely opinion. I'd say Firefox paired with Google search (blech Bing) is the best IMO.

Ah, Hollywood. I wonder how their techs could stand working there, unless they also had no clue...

strange how none of the writers think to ask them for advice instead of just making up complete gibberish

Limitless is a great show, apart from that PSU BS ... now when they have tech related stuff Brian just says it's boring so he shows the audience memes (last week was a "looping dog GIF), I guess the writers learned their lessons! lol

Having tried all browsers, opera is most superior.

Like seriously, how do you break the case...that is supposed to be protecting the phone?

So she broke the case and then the phone! First I'm surprised that the PCBs aren't exposed yet, second did she just buy this cheap ass itty bitty bumper that does practically nothing?

I don't even know.

But she is incredibly ignorant when it comes to anything ever so slightly tech related.

"Let me just rotate this still image from a 240p camera like a 3d render to show the killer from the other side and then enhance his face so we can see it in HD"

That just really hurts my brain. Like they even have this new show 'ncis cyber' and they still do that shit. They'll  have this dude that stole and Iphone and then they call it and using the calling phone copy all data to a random pc and get the location by 'hacking' into the phone

My brother was watching some TV show about phones and apps and there was an ad for a prebuilt NAS. They called it: "Your own personal cloud". That made really cringe.

this person should never have been allowed in this time period. if we ever discover time travel find her and take her as far back as possible before rocks even... if we let her near rocks she may break the earth somehow

You can consider Opera a really lightweight Chrome. Their android version is amazing btw...
