Experiences with non-techies

[Pickelhaube]

- When someone says macs or consoles are better than PCs in most ways

-When I fix a problem on a PC for someone, and a problem happens in a few months and they blame it on me

She's smart, be proud you have a mother who at least doesn't assume and understands that technology is getting more and more confusing by the years. I won't be surprised if one day a mouse actually requires both a cord and a battery.  

Don't me wrong, I love me mother, it was just funny because she started laughing as soon as she asked because she realized her mistake.

What? Why? Who gave mouse designers the drug that Apple and Snapchat have been smoking?

That'd be a really bad mouse... it takes batteries but still needs a cord stuck in the bottom so you can't use it, and disappears after 3 clicks

I think it was either a Razer mouse or a Logitech mouse, I can't remember anymore, but you could remove a mUSB data cable from the mouse and it would go wireless, but as long as it was on the mUSB cable, it would act wired and charge at the same time. 

your thinking razer mamba i think. at least i think the 2012 was the first one but i might be wrong

The moment when you tell your mates you just bought an Asus Zenbook for $600 and then they say:

 

Friend: Why don't you buy a Macbook if you spent THAT MUCH on a laptop

Me: WUT!!!!

Friend: I mean Macbooks are great laptops.

Me: Okay. Why?

Friend: Because they are made by Apple.

Me: [Face-earthed so much that it almost caused an earthquake]

 

Okay. Mind you that this friend only idea about laptops is that if anyone spends more than $400 on a laptop, that is considered too much for a Windows laptop and that they should buy Macbooks instead.

 

Also, I do not personally hate Apple computers. They are great machines for video editing with Final Cut, and they are very well optimized for the lack of hardware performance.

Its just that Apple charges too much for the hardware itself, which makes them a very far reach for someone who needs work their heart out to buy anything for themselves.

Education man, it is important, especially for non techies..

Like Kool-Aid, but with master in it?

Well, there are free online tech classes

What if we all wrote a paragraph (or more if necessary) about each thing we've laughed about here?  There'd be enough to write a whole book, and it could take people from not knowing they need to plug the PC in to compiling kernel modules for Linux

I would, except I'm too lazy

The comments under this video:

i expected alienwares target audioence to get non-techie, but this stupid......(one guy wanted to use his 2tb hdd as ram)

I just asked my father why he was using Internet Explorer and he replied saying that it is his favorite SEARCH ENGINE... I just walked away.

I had a friend that told mehe preferred his i3 processors performance to an i7.

Wait, WTF ... since when are you a mod?

 

Anyway congrats!

 

Back to topic;

Also he could be talking about 6th gen i3 vs 1st gen i7 ... if I remember correctly in benchmarks, the i3 6100 is as good or better than a i7 860?

a day or two now... 

 

And yeah I'd believe that... if we assume 10% IPC boost per gen, plus the fact new chips are clocked in the mid to high 3's instead of low 2's, I'd believe that

Edit: And benchmarks confirm, the i3 manages more total performance and destroys on single-threaded

What? Ryan? How'd I miss this? How do you even get to be a mod?
