Yeah, usually there are ads between posts, but they sometimes end up in a post or in a signature  Refreshing the page seems to fix it for me...

Verizon just tried to sell my mother "Fiber optic cell phone plan" and she almost fell for it.

 

every time someone asks for help, I ask if they have turned it off and on again. They say yes. Then I will turn it off and on again and it is fixed.

 

I once RMA'd a 1070 because the one of the 8-pin connectors wasn't in the power supply  Luckily EVGA was quiet about it and I learned my lesson by experience.

 

A friend of mine with no clue how to build a PC was building with me over skype, and I was instructing her. For about 20 minutes, she couldn't get the GPU into its slot, and it turned out it was because she left the little rubber cover on the GPU's connector and was trying to put it into the x16 slot like that..

I once saw this Debate on 'Advantages & Disadvantages of Cloud'

Debate started normally with a gentleman explaining how cloud storage helps save space and allows users to upload and store their media on the cloud.

There was a grumpy old man in them who instantly interrupted "BUT WHAT IF IT SUDDENLY STARTS RAINING !!! ALL OF YOUR IMPORTANT FILES WILL BE GONE !!!"      "_____"

They took a short commercial break after he said that

It was on my local TV show,my mum likes to watch shows like that and then blame my PC as the most vicious thing on the planet that is responsible for every bad thing that happens to me ?

Well duh, of course Macs are superior to PCs. That's why they're more expensive. Moa Money = Moa POWA

One time a guy brought his computer to clean it from viruses, but he also brought his power and VGA (at that time) cables and asked whether I can clean the viruses from them as well, because he is afraid that if he plugs those cables back into the computer, some viruses left on the cables will infect it again

So on Friday I holded a presentation about computer science in my class, so I talked manly about AI, Deep learning, VMs and VR. So at the end of the two hour long presentation I asked around and when I asked what was a VM in a basic term again, this girl responded and said that a VM is a Programming App, I mean like did you even listen to me? Because I explainded everthing in a so simple way, even the dumbest people could understand.

If you think you know what dumb is take that number and put it in a square root then you start to approach it. But to be fair most people just don't care

honestly they probably just didnt listen to any of it. most people dont give a singluar shit about computers even though they basically make the world work right now

Oh on a different note. I was cleaning my laptop this week also put on new thermal compound on the CPU. 

I was curious so pulled it out of the socket almost pooped my self when I saw it had pins and not LGA lol. I know they bent easy. Thought all Intel I series where LGA. TIL

thats just you not haveing the knowlage.. all Intel portable chips are either PGA or BGA and always have been, its a cheaper pacage to use and there is probably some other reason as well. anyway that should also mean that you could stick a beefier chip in there when you need it because why not

Yea I realised that as well just need to find out what socks it is exactly so I can start looking for a upgrade. Preferably something with a lower wattage even after the thermal compound change it runs a little hot for what I ask from it imo.
