What in IT?
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48056262]Somebody every other department treats like shit.[/QUOTE] What [B]in[/B] IT?
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48056262]Somebody every other department treats like shit.[/QUOTE] Sounds like some of my family members half the time, it'll just be like being home.
I'm about to start working at my university's IT helpdesk. So that'll be fun, I guess. It's mostly phone support. Read off the script, that sort of thing. Should go smoothly.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48056304]Holy shit, I should get some sleep.[/QUOTE] Tell me about it, I had to come in to work today at 4am to upgrade some ASA's. I probably shouldn't have been at the bar until after midnight.
[QUOTE=Levelog;48056255]What in IT?[/QUOTE] Looking at something on the lines of System administration, but I'm probably going to be in a support role at first I'd imagine.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48054973]I wouldn't mind XFCE if items within the panel could [I]actually[/I] be vertically aligned. But it seems no matter how much rice you throw at it, it still looks 15 years old.[/QUOTE] XFCE looks dated, but it does so in a classy way with the right theme. LXDE looks like Vista or XP's "new" skin on a bad day no matter what you do with it.
Been writing Xpath for the last fucking 4 hours. Please end my miserable life.
I've been waiting for an "EA Help Advisor" for 1 hour now because some bastard somehow got my password for Origin (I keep it for the old "on the house" games) which would be fine since I reverted the e-mail change and changed password... Except the fucker changed the security question and I can't change my ID back :v: But, still, 1 hour waiting for live support... I know it's EA but wow.
I thought origin had good support?
[QUOTE=alien_guy;48057518]I thought origin had good support?[/QUOTE] ea is pretty nice sometimes, free games on origin, giving the entirety of the sims 2 away for free for a long time, they got together with the humble guys but they're the only company i know of where as long as any facet of them is bad, they're only as good as that -- the weakest link. that's how fucked their image is to consumers
Finally got in [img]http://puu.sh/iDBE1/fb6a55caa0.png[/img] While I was kept waiting for 1+ hour when the "waiting time" was 5 mins, this person probably has no fault in that and has got such a shit job... Doesn't hurt to humanize them.
does anyone know where i can buy an easily upgradable prebuilt?
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48057739]does anyone know where i can buy an easily upgradable prebuilt?[/QUOTE] Upgradability Prebuild Pick one or other.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;48057862]Upgradability Prebuild Pick one or other.[/QUOTE] p much the only reason prebuilts are shitty to upgrade is their PSUs are pretty much only made to handle what's already in there
[QUOTE=MasterFen006;48057901]p much the only reason prebuilts are shitty to upgrade is their PSUs are pretty much only made to handle what's already in there[/QUOTE] And the motherboard only has RAM sockets for the amount of ram it shipped with. Want more ram? replace instead of just adding more. And most likely also one socket for the GFX card, so if you planned on SLI/Crossfire, then sorry 'bud.
is something like cyber power worth using? should i just go fuck it and get a good laptop? i'm really not comfortable doing a custom build, and gaming isn't a priority -- more like after effects
I have a logo idea for that flashback ThinkPad: [img]https://i.imgur.com/B7wfTgE.png[/img] [t]https://i.imgur.com/QndVJ5s.png[/t]
Im putting together a computer with friends, and they chose an intel core i5 4690K. Im curious why people would choose that over something like the AMD FX-8350? Are AMD processors just considered worse? It looks like the specs of the AMD CPU are better, and it costs less

[QUOTE=Van-man;48058133]Angle that 'e' correctly, otherwise noice.[/QUOTE] That's the official Lenovo logo, I just IBMfied it.
[QUOTE=Ezhik;48058226]That's the official Lenovo logo, I just IBMfied it.[/QUOTE] Seems like it needs a uppercase treatment, since the 'n' also bothers me. But I'm used to the IBM logo looking like it almost screamed "HEY I'M MADE BY IBM BITCH!!"
so what's the best prebuilt OEM
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48058317]so what's the best prebuilt OEM[/QUOTE] Isn't digital storm good? I know jack shit about OEM's
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48058317]so what's the best prebuilt OEM[/QUOTE] I highly discourage you to buy a prebuild under all circumstances. If you absolutely have to, go with one of those "customizable" brands like cyberpower pc or ibuypower. Don't go for shitty mainstream brands like Acer, Dell, HP, and etc. [editline]26th June 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=smileykiller447;48058332]Isn't digital storm good? I know jack shit about OEM's[/QUOTE] DS is good, but they're one of the extremely overpriced brands compared to others.

Some of em have a PC builder section and if you pay em a extra fee they will put it all together for you.
[QUOTE=Sand Castle;48058357]i really [I]should[/I] just build it myself, but i'm not really that comfortable and believe it or not, there are no pc repair shops around here. none.[/QUOTE] Why do you need a PC repair shop? Just order all your parts online from Newegg or a similar store. If you know how to build lego, then you know how to build computers. Things will only work if they fit perfectly. Not to mention there are billions of guides and videos online, you can't really go wrong.
