I LOVE when someone asking for a game suggestion and didnt tell them their specs and then people start suggesting a freakin AAA title turns out he has a laptop with intel hd graphic.

or when they mentioned their specs with whoping 12Gb of vram and it was their aprox total memory :P

 

This one is a bit annoying when the seller being exaggerated.

One day i was browsing on a mall and someone was buying a graphics card to play battlefield 1.

The seller says what is the requirements " owh it says min 2Gb of graphic memory "

Okay then *picking one gpu from the shelf " this should be more than enough to play the game "

Will this enough to play it?

Of course of course its the latest gpu from nvidia it has 2Gb of video memory and it support directx 12, it doesnt even require any gpu power connector.

How much is this?

$80

then i'ill take this one.

Okay thank you and enjoy your game..

 

 

*Yes it was GT 730 poor guy.

 

Oh no. That's when you step in and say something. It's better to be an annoying kid with a big mouth (or know it all grown up) that stops things like that from happening. Salespeople really should be trained if they are selling electronics. IDC if it is at Walmart, they still need a clue. Plenty of other departments and kids (Who are qualified) that would love to be in the cell phone/electronics/entertainment section as opposed to stocking shelves.

There is enough youth in this world, how about a fountain of smart?

I was forced to use DuckDuckGo for like a week in debate class and I hated it, algorithms are definitely worse than Google :/.

 

They made us use it because of tracking and stuff but regardless I don't think anyone switched from using Google xD 

Works for me

I know, right? I was at the WalMart and the sales associate was trying to get an older lady to buy an HDMI cable when she needed an ethernet cable. I stepped in there, though.

I used the work for Sam's Club (owned by Walmart), they dont train tech sales associates. I used to work in electronics for about 2 years while I worked their. We had a few other associates in that department that were not real tech savvy. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

like im fine with not tech savy personal usiually but they need some god damn knowlage about what they are selling to not come across to those who know as complete morons, even though we may laugh at them, every time they make a sale based on what they think they know, someone suffers usiually

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"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.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I'm not going to pay more for my motherboard than my CPU. Zen is budget though.. it's killer value but not premium.
