Recently I switched classes and now I'm pretending that I have no idea how those big cpu boxes work.

Me. 

I'm too smart for the people in my class ?

 

? LTT since ~10..

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

oh god

first: CPU's are not called "silicon"

second: "Qualcomm have stated that their next-generation chips will be Windows 10 exclusives."

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Nobody ever said Windows 10 PCs. Therefore, right back at you IDIOT.

 

Pls don't kill me.

 

But seriously. The reference to QUALCOMM was about phones, Windows 10 for Phones, in case you couldn't tell.

They meant Windows 10. Windows 10 happens to run on more than 1 type of device. There is no "full edition" bs. They all run the same core OS.

Get over yourself.

And? It shares a lot of similarities with the Holographic Edition and Mobile Edition.

 

EDIT: The point I'm trying to make is that the fundamental parts of Windows 10 are similar or the same. The parts which are different are mainly the GUIs, intended use cases, interaction methods and apps/programs available for them.

The song itself was nice. The points it tried to make were a little questionable.

Like? The only point of it is to show how ridiculous some people's claims are and their hypocrisy.

I work as a IT technician so I have a lot of customer contact. Recently I had an mid 2009 Macbook Pro in the shop, the customer said his cursor does funny things like flying around and stuff. I booted it up, which took almost 3 minutes to get to the desktop. The mouse worked perfectly fine, so I called him and he asked after a performance upgrade, because the speed up tools he uses doesn't work for him. I made him an offer for a SSD upgrade but he just refused and said "I think my software can fix that too. Thanks anyway" and was gone. Let's see how long it takes until he comes back and wants a new Macbook.

Silly Mac buying sheeple when will they learn?  lol

 

He says software hasn't fixed an issue but then insists that software can help all of a sudden.  Wtf?  ?

 

Also I do not miss my old laptop taking so long to boot up and be ready to use.

My current desktop has a Samsung 850 PRO for the boot drive and it is fully booted up and ready to use in about 30 seconds.  ?

At this point I feel like the bios is what's bottlenecking boot times, not the SSD xD. Seriously, on my desktop most of the time I'm waiting for it to boot up is when it's still in the bios :P. It takes about 15 seconds until the little loading circle appears and within about 2-3 seconds it gets to my login screen, then after I login it only takes around 2 seconds to get to my desktop.

 

People freak out about getting nvme drives and 960 pros as well as 3D optane, but for anything the average user does SATA SSDs are fine. You need to be doing large file transfers to actually get much of a performance boost out of nvme.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
