Silas13013 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 What we really need is a thread where you wish people were less tech savvy. I'm working on a computer right now and the owner has music folders on it, and one genre in particular has some interesting spelling to it, I'll just spell it out and let you guys guess. .'ry. Obviously it's blocked but I'm sure some of you will still be able to guess. Took me a while but that's pretty average in my experience. Although most of my clients have been teenagers who think things like that are god's gift to humor but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red1776 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6si8Xp8P-M&feature=related Waco and I were discussing this in a thread a while ago. I had a long discussion with a newegg tech who told me that they get PSU's sent back because people (first time builders) who get the PSU un-boxed and test it by plugging it into the wall. when it doesn't start up, they think it's DOA and send it back.

The PSUs that got scraped and were only sent back because someone forgot to flick the on switch at the back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectrascope Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I love it when my friend calls his tower a hard drive. I hear this so often I want to smack people. Also what do people not understand about exploded x on your mobo, means your mobo is dead or dying, if a piston exploded(more likely was ejected) in your engine it would be considered dead. Or my favorite you can connect an external KB&M to your laptop, and then you can connect as second monitor to your laptop as they wounder in amazement.

bilcliff Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 My head nearly exploded. And of course, when doing photoshops for friends back in high school: "That picture you gave me was too small to make any larger, it gets way too grainy." "Well duh, just enhance it! I thought you knew what you were doing?" any excuse to dig up this castle clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaMdXjTn9rc For anyone that can't figure it, it's Country music, take away the "o" and you get... reminds me of this family guy clip at the 0.25 mark.

TheyCallMeGunny Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 My girlfriend's daughter's father (baby daddy if you prefer).. Thinks he's king computer.. You know how you do multi monitor set ups, and you can drag a window from one monitor to the next? Well, I have that set up here in our living room, and the tirtiary monitor is the TV itself, halfway across the room. I showed this dude this setup and he goes "Wow, so if you set another monitor on the chair, you can catch the window in motion right?" I face-walled IRL.. He seems to think just dropping an unplugged monitor anywhere in between the existing monitors will cause it to work.. Like I have some imaginary line of screen drawn, and I just have to drop the screens in place to make the stuff appear.. How do people even think this sh.t up?
