Experiences with non-techies

[Fgtfv567]

A classmate's computer stopped working it was the office computer from his mom.

He asked me to fix it I opened the case to see a Z77 mobo with a nice i7 2600k, 8gb of ram and stock cooling in a so called office pc. Guess what it had a shitty 800w psu that bit the dust.

And no he did not build that one himself his parents bought it at a local shop.

I told them this pc is a beast but they were like yeah whatever it works and is fast.

No discrete card?

Love the 1k thing, he actually posted that in the perfect thread!

[MDPS]

No...

2.5k is 1440p

1k is 1080p

Bro...1K would be like 720p if not less. The K (1K, 2K, etc.) refers to how many pixels on the horizontal axis on a 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen. But when you say something like 1080p, 720p, 480p, etc. it means the vertical axis. His point was that 1920x1080 resolution is so close to the 2048x1080 that it might as well be considered 1080p as you can't really tell the difference. 2K was just adapted as the term for 1440p (and 1080p for, well, 1080p), though it is more like 2.5K (and 2K).

So I opened this simple ''Matrix'' (.bat) program in school, that I wrote, and EVERYBODY was like: HE IS HACKING!!!!

 

Just copy this into notepad, save it, and than change the file from .txt into .bat

 

@Echo off

color 02

:start

echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%%random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%%random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%

goto start

my god this is beautiful. 

 

is there a way to get some text in there? 

like random, 

''loading the matrix''

''hacking into the mainframe''

kinda crap? i'd love it if it would slow down a bit too, so people can get a short glance at the words before teh line is replaced by the next. make it more convincing. xP

i always loved it when people looked at a 1440p screen and said soemthing like ''quadHD? no. thats 4K. this is wrong''

 

they seem to forget that 720p is HD and 1080p is fullHD. 

ultraHD is techincally ''quad-fullHD''

[BurgerBum]

supporting a hipster trend.

some people just like OSX better and dont care. xP 

 

but yeah the whole choosing tech because its popular is stupid. 

 

my friend caleb asked me for the best audiophile headphones for around 500$, and he said he woudl get them along with some beats. 

because he needs headphones for just style. 

 

wat. 

ikr. 

whatever bloats his goat i guess.

Well he's recognizing it as a fashion accessory.

i have a feeling this is how my friend joe is. 

he knows his family pc has a ''really good proccesor'' 

and with his friend circle i can pretty much assume its a mid tier i5 or higher.  

i wanna get my hands on that computer ASAP... see whats under the hood. 

my buddy keeps buying these shit futureshop/best buy machines then upgrading the psu and throwing a gpu in and its a nightmare when he has driver issues since they use these shit foxconn boards with NO drivers on their site...the model isnt even listed on the damn site.

thats the problem with prebuilts. 

nothing is garunteed. 

[BurgerBum]

true. 

 

his dad is an apple user. 

nothing wrong with that. 

he says he doesnt mind other people not using apple either. 

cool cool. 

 

doenst let his kids have non-apple devices at all. drills into thier heads that apple is superior in every way no matter the circumstances. 

 

so when caleb is talking about photo editing and i offer to build him a new workstation he says he already has a mac mini. ;~;

Sorry, I dont know how to add text in there, you would probably need to make a more complicated script for that kind of thing.

But I do know how to make a cool "fake virus" prank:
