Yeah, there was a dude that said he could get a q6600 and a motherboard with 4/8 gigs of ram for a 100 dollars and then get a cheap gpu  and a used case and psu. Even then with such a low end cpu the rendering times would be abysmal and editing properly also a pain in the ass.

handbreak + upload to youtube

who needs to edit? all hes doing is like his intro or something.

took a look at someones computer running XP, and its pretty much ruined, lonely old man thinking he's pulling women under half his age on the internet. This thing has every virus known to man on it, previously had ransom ware, so i was like give me the computer, stripped it down, cleaned re thermal pasted everything and install cub linux on it, thinking there is no way he is going to kill this computer now. jesus christ, he deleted chrome from the bar at the bottom so couldn't get onto the internet, as well as downloading two plugins to chrome to " stop google spying on him" as soon as i deleted them the computer was back to being "fast again" bearing in mind it wasn't fast in 2006 let along 2016. had to sit him down at the end and be like " don't download anything".

I remember seeing that before. I believe it's been posted on this thread before but whatever, I'm sure there's a few guys here that haven't seen it yet!

That was me. It was a picture of a Facebook post. I still have it, but i am too lazy to look for it.

ik i saw that is waaay to impossible, unless like he goes ful used from like the past decade.

it's 100% doable if using used parts, a pre-build Core2Quad (Dell or HP) with a HD7770 or an old GTX (something between 470 and a 570) ... that's 100% under $200 USD

My brother used to work helpdesk for a previous company that makes PC keyboards. He got a call one day from an old lady who said that her wireless keyboard wasn't working. He asked if she plugged in the dongle. The lady got super mad. "If its wireless, why do I have to plug something in?!"

When my mother or grandparents ask how big a terabyte, or any hard drive is.

 

Me: "It's 1k gigabytes."

Them: "But how big is that?"

Me: "Well 1 gig is 1000 megabytes."

Them: "And how big are those."

Me: "Anyways... It's pretty big, can hold a heck of a lot of music and pictures and games."

Them: "Yeah but how many?"

Me: "How many of what?"

Them :"How many of them all can it hold?"

For whatever reason people just seem to think that if it's wireless all they have to do is go home place the device near the computer and it'll magically start working...?

So what you're telling me is, the files are in the computer?

[RahulR]

So you're telling me a Snapdragon 805 (Quad 2.7) and 3GBs of RAM is worse than a Snapdragon 808 (Dual 1.8 and Quad 1.4) and 2GBs of RAM? I don't understand the level of fanboy-ism in this post.

How is this fanboyism?

 

This guy just wants to know which phone works better.

 

As I don't follow phone tech. I would have the same level of confusion and most likely go for the newer one just because it is newer knowing nothing about specs.
