Computer illiterate people who think they know things V5 = I FLICK PSU VOLTAGE SWITCH - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=Mandrith;24568588]He just told me that he is taking it to the Apple Store tomorrow "To fix it" and that I'm paying for it. He took $70.00 out of my wallet, and told me that I am not allowed to use any of the family computers now, because I'll "Screw them up by loading on games and shit"[/QUOTE] I cannot describe the rage I get from just reading the above.

What the fuck? Tell him to try to remove the widgets and see that it runs much faster

They will probably end up doing what you did. Wasted money on removing widgets...

[QUOTE=thf;24568684]What the fuck? Tell him to try to remove the widgets and see that it runs much faster[/QUOTE] I've tried to, but he will NEVER admit that a problem was caused by something he did. It is always someone else. He thinks "If I think I am right, I am right." When I told him to try removing the widgets he put on, he told me that "They were made by Apple, and therefore can't possibly slow the computer down." Even when I try to remove the widgets, showing him that they are the problem, he still believes that it is something I did.

Add me on skype. Me and him need to talk. same as my username [editline]07:09PM[/editline] Add me on skype. Me and him need to talk. same as my username

He's like the extreme of my dad. He thought having Firefox simply installed (not running) was slowing down the computer, as opposed to say, the virus scans running on a computer with 512MB of RAM.

[QUOTE=Mandrith;24568249]He noticed all the widgets are gone, and yelled at me for taking them off. He now has them all on again, and the computer is slowing down significantly. I tried to tell him that it was the widgets, and he said to me "Widgets were made by Apple. Therefore they can't possibly slow the Mac down." He is searching through the computer to find any "Games and shit slowing down the CPU"[/QUOTE] Uninstall the widgets, install your Firefox, Steam and games, have Steam and Firefox and Steam running, leave a note on the monitor saying the following: "Steam and Firefox are installed, the computer is running fast. Get it through your thick skull that it was all your fucking useless widgets that was slowing it down. God damn. Sincerely, <Your name here>" I would put it more nicely though.

My naughty friend torrented CoD4, but didn't know how to install it. I told him "Just unpack everything then run the setup. You can delete the installation files after, you don't need them." So the next day he came up to me and said "I did what you said and it didn't work. I ran the exe and I just got an error." Long story short, he installed the game and then deleted everything but the launcher exe. I facepalmed so hard by face is now on the back of my head.

I'm typing this on my phone. He just took all my electronics, and put a password on the WiFi "As a punishment for screwing the computer up." He also just told me that he is selling everything he just took to "Pay for the repairs and a new computer." :smithicide:
