    Icon11 Idiotic Things You Have Heard People Say About Tech

    I'm starting this thread because of what just happened to me.

    My friend just found out that cookies and cached data from his web browser actually takes up a significant amount of space. He texts me really enthusiastically: "Do you know what cached web pages and cookies are?? I just deleted them and I got like 7GB back on my computer!"

    He's a computer science major in my class -_-. I explain to him really briefly what cookies and cached webpages are, and I recommend him CCleaner to do that kind of cleaning for him.

    He responds with something like "cool, but I'll just stick with the built in stuff on chrome."

    I don't want him to miss out on an awesome utility so I throw in some extra information: "You should use CCleaner anyway, it can also clean your registry for you."

    The answer I got to that was priceless:
    Spoiler!


    That is quoted character for character, and I laughed my ass off for a good 10 minutes before I finally got myself together enough to send him a nice sarcastic reply.

    Customer: Hi! My laptop is slow and can't run some programs as fast.
    Helper: Well, maybe your laptop needs more RAM.
    Customer: Haha no. I'm not going to fall for your scam to buy stuff. I just need help making my laptop faster.
    Helper: Dear customer, your Laptop needs more RAM otherwise it can't run faster.
    Customer 2: Hey, I heard you can just download RAM. I did it.
    Customer: See!? I ain't falling for your stupid scam. I'll just download more RAM.




    or something like that.

    A few days ago one of my friends sent me a text reading, "Mike, will I be able to connect my ipod to a laptop?"

    1: OH MY GOD WHY'S MY LAPTOP NOT TURNING ON?
    2: Hey, that looks new.
    1: It is new. NOW TELL ME WHY IT'S NOT TURNING ON!
    2: Did you try pressing the power button? *Presses the power button*
    1: OH, SO THAT'S HOW IT WORKS! So how do you turn it off?


    Person 1 was 17 years old when this happened. I'm not person 2; I was too busy almost literally rofl-ing.

    That's somewhat alright. I mean, if he didn't know if he had the right cables..or if it uses USB. If he's NEW to a piece of tech, I suppose it's alright. To some extent.

    "What's a RAR file?"
    "How do I open it?"
    "What's that little file with the multi-colored books?"


    Person: I want to play this game but my computer won't let me.
    Me: Are your specs good enough?
    Person: How can I tell if they are?
    Me: Let me see your computer. -checks computer-
    Person: So what's wrong?
    Me: Your processor is from the year 1990 and you want to run Bad Company 2. That's what's wrong.
    Person: So? What should I do?
    Me: Scrap this and get a new computer.
    Person: But I just bought this!
    Me: How much did they charge you?
    Person: Like $500!
    Me: You got ripped off.

    I lent my friend my portable hard drive to copy some anime on to his computer. Next day, we had a conversation something like this.

    M = Me
    H = Him

    H: Hayden, your stupid hard drive broke my computer!
    *He hands back my hard drive*
    M: What? I'm quite sure there were no viruses and stuff on it.
    H: No, when I plugged it in, it broke my USB port!
    *He takes out his laptop from his bag and shows me*
    M: Dude, that's your HDMI port. Why the hell did you shove it in there?
    H: What? Doesn't it go in there? It looks almost exactly like the USB ports and all my USB ports were taken.
    M: Bro, if it's not meant to go on, don't just try to force it in...

    So yeah, he had to get me a new USB cable and also had to pay for repairs on his laptop.

    'Twas what she said.


    In all seriousness. Let me post a conversation I had on Steam with someone I play TF2 with.

    Him: Hey, I hooked up my new monitor to my computer, but it won't let me see anything.
    Me: Is it plugged in?
    Him: Yeah, and I'm using "DVI" cables or whatever.
    Me: Are the plugs in both the monitor and the computer?
    Him: Yes, I made sure before asking you.
    Me: Is it on?
    Him: No, does it need to be? I thought LEDs didn't have to be on.
    Me: Turn it on.

    People can't find the power button. I was wondering how to turn on a computer once when I built it. Then I figured out I mixed up the power button's wire.
