I was one of the counselors for a Boy scout camp because I thought it would be fun. Eventually, I ran into a spoiled brat who thought he was the bill gates of his generation. He claimed he got an i7 (no idea which one) up to 6GHz using the stock cooler (the one that comes in the box). I decided not to argue with him bc I didn't have the energy.

I have have a friend of mine, who you couldn't call exactly tech-savvy at all somehow managed to pull the mains connector out of the psu housing. Fully. He then proceeded to shove the cable into the hole left behind. Needless to say that power supply was destined for the repair bench or the bin.

 

rip xD

One of my friends asked me to install a music player software on his brand-new laptop. I went to the website, download, click Next, Agree, Install, Exit, and gave it back to him.

Two months later, he came back to me and said, "Hey, I feel like after you installed that thing on my laptop, it became much slower."

.

I was absolutely speechless....

WHILE ON A IPHONE kek

I complained the ios 10.3 beta was the exact same thing as 10.2.1 and that I was dissapointed because .3 updates are supposed to have an extra feature so I was switching to the google Pixel. "wait for WWDC," they said. I said I was going to but was still going to switch anyway because I would rather have a headphone jack and they actually try to convince me to use a freaking adapter. It wasn't all bad though, I got to ask them if the iphone 7 had an amplified headphone jack (I actually asked how the sound quality of headphones were through it because they would be confused af if I worded it like that) and got the best reaction ever. There was also someone who works for apple on there. I learned they don't give a f*** if I hackintosh. They only will If I am selling one. Their off topic section is inintentionally retarded. The most bizzare conversations happen there.

 

The best part, I wasn't even trolling. I was actually being serious except for the iphone 7 amplified headphone jack, and even then, I wasn't trolling, it was more of a joke at that point because they already knew how I felt about not having a headphone jack.

than next day he called me and said "I downloaded a program that convert storage in to ram and I ran the program on to my computer. It showed that now I have 356GB of ram than I closed the program and ran GTA(He installed GTA on E: drive).

GTA gave him a error message then he realised that all this drive partition's except C: has been formatted.xD

Make an example.

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

I have done that before. I wanted to oc my laptop so I modify the intel management engine in such a way that the clock source points to nothing so my computer tried to boot with no clock. Also, when I hook up my spi programmer to fix it, I find out that instead of flashing it, it wiped the descriptor region. The lesson I learned is that it's not worth it anyway because I won't be able to change it much. Maybe someday, I will try again though because I have the equipment to fix it
