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

[QUOTE=4rawrs2;23012796]I was just asked today to remove some viruses and the like on someone's laptop. First it had some adware which can be removed fairly quickly with the right software, but when the guy gave me the laptop, he said he tried some things with it. There's about 6 different antivirus programs on this thing, 4 of them out of date, and the other 2 are those scam ones that pretend to find a thousand things wrong with it, load up their own viruses, and ask you to pay before removing the viruses. I would say he installed them himself. "Security Master AV" being one of them, its not just sitting around for easy removal, I can't find what process it's running as, and even when I "shut it down", it keeps alerting me annoyingly during the scan I have going currently. I've seen bigger messes with computers, but this sure isn't good.[/QUOTE] Malwarebytes Anti Malware should get rid of that.

[QUOTE=Comrade General;23012737] Probably not even that. Probably the fuse went.[/QUOTE]What

[QUOTE=stone555;23013000]What[/QUOTE] It's likely all that happened was the fuse blew. Unfortunately because of his bastardly prank his friend had to pay for a whole new computer.

Every year we sabotage the computers so they can go make their diagnosis and get points based on it. The thing is, there is [b]always[/b] a kid who goes through and fixes everything. One kid busted a stick of RAM trying too hard to put it in the wrong way, while trying to fix it. He ended up failing the lab and having to replace the RAM he broke.

Anyone have a video of someone flicking the Voltage switch? I really want to know what it looks like... but without testing

sometimes I wonder if all of these 10ers are just alts of each other because it seems like they, as a whole, have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to any subject whatsoever.

I love how people actually got the Tool joke

[QUOTE=Bomimo;23018673]I love how people actually got the Tool joke[/QUOTE] you're joking right

[QUOTE=Odellus;23018825]you're joking right[/QUOTE] yes

[QUOTE=Bomimo;23018923]yes[/QUOTE] just checking

I keep having to explain how I'm not a hacker and that real life hackers are nothing like Hollywood ones at school. It's really annoying. I occasionally screw with people and say I'm prestige 15 on MW2 because it'd different on the computer. Why are there so many people in this thread that make batch files and check the CMD when they're probably meant to be doing something in excel and then wonder why they get told off? Stop pretending to be computer smart. Also LinuX is a troll, if you hadn't noticed this after his first post, you're probably stupid.

My god guys. Buy Uplink on Steam (get the introversion complete pack for 5 bucks, usually 40) and then play it in front of family. "OH MAI GAWD DUNT HACK ULL BLOW UP DA WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!1" [editline]02:19AM[/editline] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uplink_(video_game[/url])

The only people who noticed was my friend I showed it to (to brag that i actually had it on my folder) and one of my other friends sitting next to me.

you know what I just noticed? lack of APNG support in Chrome.

[QUOTE=Odellus;23020221]you know what I just noticed? lack of APNG support in Chrome.[/QUOTE] I noticed that around the time it came out

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23020318]I noticed that around the time it came out[/QUOTE] I knew it didn't support APNG it's just I didn't think of it when I switched back again from Firefox.

[QUOTE=Odellus;23020468]I knew it didn't support APNG it's just I didn't think of it when I switched back again from Firefox.[/QUOTE]Yeah that's my only real gripe with it. I started using it on my netbook because of the sheer speed of it, and now I have it on my main computer. heh

I still don't notice the speed, if anything I notice that it ends up loading elements of pages slower than Firefox.

Netbooks are shit if you wanted to play source games on them (you can though) then you would be poking your eyes out trying to defeat breen at the end. You know what I noticed in this thread? Alot of people saying their classmates saying "OMG HES HACKING" when opening cmd. We need more content.

[QUOTE=Odellus;23022091]I still don't notice the speed, if anything I notice that it ends up loading elements of pages slower than Firefox.[/QUOTE]Startup speed is the main reason. Chrome takes like 2 seconds on my netbook whereas Firefox would take ~10. Been a while since I tried it though, but I'm too used to Chrome now.
