My grandmother does the same thing with electronics, it's literally pushing the HDMI button on the tv to switch it to the output for Sky, which she hasn't learnt after 3 years of me telling her.

"Anon what have you done you've broken the television"
"What..?"
"You've played with it again playing those silly games and broken the television"
"Uh..no?"
"Yes you have, you played that silly game and i can't get my channels back on"
"You mean..the playstation? You think i broke the television, using the playstation?"
"Yes! You broke the television"

It just goes on and on and on until i switch it to HDMI2 for her and she pipes down and goes back to watching operas.

While I feel your pain, I'm going to say **** that.

It isn't old people, old people can learn.
People that willfully choose ignorance on the other hand.
Hate those ******* .
They COULD choose to learn how to deal with the **** , but do they?
Nope! why the **** do that?!
Why do the smart ******* thing?!

They bring their rage onto themselves and if that alone was more lethal than smoking than I wouldn't care.

That last part sounds far more edgy than I want it to, but I already put effort into this.

The problem is that the current crop of old people grew up as the most entitled pieces of **** this country has ever experienced. Everything wrong with this country nowadays is their fault. They grew up being taught to be selfish, and resistant to change, and are a collective cancer killing this country because of it.

My grandma's like that as well, but I suspect it's because she may have dementia. She stayed with us for an entire month and everyday she'd tell me the television wouldn't work (she pressed random buttons when it was on, turning it off). She'd also almost break her futon every morning while trying to disassemble it, and when it eventually broke she told me it was because I was the one folding it every day, which I wasn't. Oh, she also begged us to get her a touch screen cellphone - the following day she was pissed and asked us why we bought her a phone she can't even use. She also started taking her meds at double the normal dosage on some days and not at all on others because she was sure/she wasn't sure she had taken them. And whenever anything went wrong it was never her fault, always someone else's. It's frustrating as **** and sad as hell...

tl;dr - Old people can't use technology because, sometimes, they have dementia

my life ever since I was 10

and now I work at an IT repair and maintenance shop
we get calls from customers all the time where the fix is literally pressing one button

and we actually install all our tools on every computer that comes in, whether they agree to our remote monitoring agreement or not
we don't even hide the folder, it's out in the open
they could literally fix pretty much any problem themselves and never have to come back with those tools
but they come back the next week after downloading 500 new viruses and we get paid to clean it up again

"well fine dont ask me for help next time that you need it"

"i bet its slow because of the game you have in it!"
"it has like three quarters of its space left"
"get rid of the games you had on it!"
(proceed to spend an hour removing old games on a slow ass computer)
"Its still slow you didint do anything!"
"i told you its slow because its old but you made me waste my time be removing old games that did nothing"

I built my mother a new computer. I changed all the internals but kept the old case. She said that it was the same computer and accused me of stealing the $300 I spent on part. I then went into my room grabbed the parts and put them on the table. She called me a liar and threatened to call the police. Such is life.

sounds like being yelled at is a good deal, one time she literally wouldent let me do an assignment that i had to hand out in two days (that i needed to pass by force btw) because "i wasint spending time with her" so she tried to force me to go to a bbq on the ******* roof of the apartment complex while i have a half done assignment on making a website (it dosent sound hard but our teacher was ******* retarded and kicks people out for sneezing or forgetting a pen drive even though we have could so we barely learned **** so this assignment was particularly harder to finish) so i just decided to say **** it, ate a hot dog so fast that i turned gay in the process, hauled ass to my room so fast that a cartoon poof trail was behind me, locked the door to my room and typed so fast that if someone saw me they would have thought that someone laced my extra strength coffee with pure Colombian cocain , nuff said she was mad but i didint give a **** i let other family members deal with it for that day, thank god they understand.

My mom once managed to make the letters line up in reverse as she typed them in.

like if you wrote A B C

it would appear as
A
BA
CBA

To this day I dont know what she ******* pressed to do that since she told me she just clicked some buttons on the keyboard without using the computer while cleaning the table.

Like, **** , how.

i bet she got some liquid cleaner sprayed on some part of the keyboard and it caused some kinda short in there.

she probably didnt even notice what she did or she thinks that wiping liquid off the keyboard surface will make everything ok again.

I think that update came out of no where while he were rendering and it seems that windows 10 don't have the "later" option. It's basically forcing you to restart the computer either now or in those 12 mins.

HP laptops are well priced for the hardware you can potentially get, depends where you look. I buy HP laptops to open them up to replace the paste. The paste they use always dries up within a year, leading to your system overheating like crazy and running slow. Just use some arctic silver, lasts a good year with absolutely no cooling issues.

The only problem I have with 10 is that sometimes when it boots up it lets me know a .dll file is missing somewhere. I should check that out, but am yet to. Besides that, my computer is running noticeably but not significantly faster, and I'm not having any troubles navigating it.

The only thing about it that actually bothers me is the "recent places" thing. I don't want anyone using my computer to find out where my porn is because it's displayed every time you open the start menu or file explorer.

IT here, upgraded personal PC to windows 10, and the only negative things I've experienced so far is the crab-people navigation (easily resolved by using the search option) through the settings options and the driver recognition for some peripherals after a reboot. Other than that, it's pretty swell and the updates are gradually bringing it up to speed. It's a new OS, there's bound to be some issues, but overall it's ******* 10x better than windows h8 and h8.1, and faster than windows 7 in bootloader and navigation by a decent amount, even with an SSD installed.



You got a year to upgrade for free, so you can wait out the update series or do it now and update along with it. If you don't like it, type 'Go back' within 30 days of upgrading and it'll revert for you, no hassle.

I don't know if it's win10 that did it or not, but when I play League of Legends I get 30 more fps than I did before (on win8.1 which I hated by the way) which was a big plus for me because I like League.
I think overall it is much better than 8.1, runs smoother and faster for me in general. But I don't really know all that much about computers, all I do is play games on it and use it for Uni.

Umm....No. Here is a side by side comparison of games on the same platform and same settings on different OSs
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXd2GQgupE8

If you mean by updating your driver, using the driver update feature under device properties, then that would explain it. That feature only checks the windows database to see if there is an updated version at microsoft. So if your device maker hasn't sent the new drivers to microsoft, you won't get them.

In example, when I installed Windows 10 through a fresh install on a formatted drive, it automatically downloaded drivers for my R9 270 and updated them, I still went on AMD's website and found an newer driver despite the fact that windows had JUST installed the newest drivers - that microsoft had.

Um...No. I'm more than a little annoyed that people keep assuming I'm some sort of moron. When I said I installed my drivers, I meant that. I install my own drivers. I have the most recent drivers, and they run great.

As far as OS performance, I dunno why but it runs way better for me. Maybe something was screwed up with my Windows 7 install. Maybe my particular system just simply agrees with Windows 10. All I know is that several games run noticeably smoother on Windows 10.

Or Like Anon said and that is ******* broken.
For Example I downloaded Windows 10 and about a week after
I change the Task bar to auto-hide when not hovered over. Now
not only did that do nothing about said Task bar but it took the
largest folder on my desktop, with about 3000 files in it, and said
" **** you!" and dumped it all on said desktop slowing my computer
down to about 1 action every 20 seconds. Twice.Not to metion the
Games I can no longer play without compatibility mode because
Windows 10 Is a new OS that says, yet again, " **** you!" to
anything older than 5 years old.

Also I used the Windows and search thing once, saw it uses Bing as a
default browser, and said " **** no." and never used it since. Because at
the time you could not change the default browser. But back to you
Googleing Fixes, that is what I was talking about, if the owner needs to fix

Windows 10 doesn't store the information you use from apps on the HDD/SSD/SSHD when it hasn't been used for long. It's like memory leak, though with the added benefit that things run slightly faster when you're redoing something.



It's really ****** retarded. A simple fix would be to use both systems. The new system is faster at optimal conditions, but if you reverted back to the old system when using more than 60-80% ram, there'd be no issue. This isn't exactly complicated stuff.

I have only downloaded Anacoda and Chrome on that computer, and I do use the start menu.

Everything else is preinstalled. I think I only have the windows stuff for antivirus, firewall, etc...

So I installed Windows 10 and then Morrowind stopped running in full screen, it runs "full screen windowed", so it is fullscreen, but with a "windows border" around. OP, you're personally responsible, what do?

yeah it's a change that windows 10 makes to fullscreen games. To fix this you have to delete a folder called win32 then restart so it forces windows to redownload the latest version. That should fix it.

What is wrong with Windows 10?

I've had it installed for a while now and haven't experienced a single problem. I actually think it's great.

Windows 10 is a great operations system and is really ******* fast and stable from my experience with it.

People whine about all the "spying and data collection", but really Windows has done that for years. The only difference now is that MS is actually telling us they're doing it.

The only major downside is the fact that updates will force themselves on you. You can keep telling them no, but if you do it enough times it won't give you the option and it will force restart. So using Win 10 on a work computer where you render videos and other things isn't the greatest idea. But for a general use PC like for gaming and **** it's pretty nice.

Apparently you can't turn updating off, and if you keep postponing it will force a shutdown regardless of what you are doing. Haven't had any problems myself though.

You can schedule when to restart after updating (5AM is the default I think), and it will give you notifications within the hour that you've told it to, and you can defer the time from there. If you ignore the notification then yeah it will do it regardless of what you're doing, but you had the option to change the time all along.

i think it has less to do with "i just wanna steal stuff" and more to do with "why should they have to right to look at all my stuff". sure if you do nothing wrong you wouldnt have anything to hide, but its assuming youre guilty before even proving it.

You don't get what I am saying do you?
I am saying that if you are going to bitch about it, don't come out after it has happened for several years and act like it is some ground-breaking new discovery!
I mean people complaining about microsoft spying on people after windows 10 came out and acting like it is new, would be the same as me going into a concentration camp in Germany and saying "You know.... did any of you ever realize that Hitler was actually a bad guy?"

Kind of old news and not really that surprising.
It is not ok, but it is nothing new either.

Your point makes no sense, dude. It makes as much sense to get outraged about it now as it does to have done it years ago, especially given the people who are getting angry now were probably either children or technologically illiterate when it started happening.

oh yeah, because that is why people say 'windows 7 or xp was so much better because they didn't do this'.
It wasn't exactly a big secret then and it certainly isn't now, that the companies spied on us.

Yes, and it remains a thing to be angry about irrespective of how long it's been happening, so saying it makes no sense to be angry now itself makes no sense.

There's a crucial difference there, being that Hitler is no longer doing that. If someone went to a concentration camp when they were still running and came back outraged, nobody would blink twice because that makes perfect sense.

the problem is that people are acting like it is some new thing.
It is not and if people think that, they need to get their head out of their asses.
It is a problem, yes. It needs to be fixed? Can be debated.
but new? Not a chance in hell.

That they think previous windows versions didnt do this.

yeah i get the problem, and its wrong that they're doing it, but thats the future for ya. Sooner or later, anonymity on the internet will go away, for better or worse, because every company out there will have tracked your data from the moment you logged in. Facebook already does it, twitch, youtube, all the major websites do it. **** , facebook does it even when you're not ON their website.

The main thing people fail to mention with the anti-piracy stuff on windows 10, because it reduces the fear and "OMG NOOOOO" Factor is this: Its anti-piracy for products on their store. thats it. its their way of going "Hey, want to make sure windows users arent stealing your **** ? come with us, dont go with valve."

Personally i disabled all their spyware the moment i got the 10 update, locked out auto updates from network access and the only time my network is used now is when im using a browser. Even my steam is monitored.

I had so many compatibility issues with a lot of my games on steam and gog-galaxy as well as Norton oddly enough.
And that's just the start.
Firefox would keep crashing, things would take forever to load on YT even the comments.
There were even a few instances in which my computer wouldn't even recognize my router and would keep calling it an "unidentified USB device"

ALL of those problems stopped when I rolled back to 8.1.

With chrome it would have a (chrome is not responding) problem with almost every other time I tried to use it.
As for 8.1, the only problem I have with it is that I was forced to update to it when I didn't need it.

So my gf knows nothing about tech, and neither do her friends, so they've used me as tech support for years. I don't mind doing that kind of thing, usually, but the **** I've been put through over the years... They don't know anything outside of how to open fb. Naturally, solutions are painfully simple, but given we live across the country now, thr longest part is the troubleshooting skype calls, trying to get out of them what exactly is going on with their computers. Last night was by far the worst.
One of her idiot friends tried to download an illegal movies app, obv scam, but she did it anyway, and her antivirus prompted to scan.Eventually, they call me, demanding to know how to get the virus preventing them from deleting things off their computer.
Apparently, the antivirus told them that it found threats (cue their freakout) and that it did not have permission to delete them. (Cue second freakout). After about three hours of painful troubleshooting, I figured out two things:
First, she had actually set her own virus protection to scan, never delete. The thing had even asked her if she wanted to delete the threats when scanning, and she "still wanted the movie app", so she kept it.
Second, i really, really hate this bitch.
Walked her through deleting system 32.
Hung up skype call.

Now, i woke up this morning to 8 missed calls, and a whole lot of texts I'm not opening. No regrets. Single4lyfe.

handed my roommate's ipad back after using it for a few days

Not long later he calls me in angrily demanding to know what i've done with his adblocker. He complains that i've uninstalled it and now he's getting spammed with ads

He never had a real adblocker. he had a ****** shareware app from the store that claimed to block ads (if it ever did, it was very poor at it) and by the time he loaned me the ipad, the free trial on the adblocker had expired.
It was not working then, and it continued not-working as it always had when i deleted it. there was no change at all in quantity of ads

I offered to actually setup a proper adblocking solution but he couldn't be bothered

i remember using the "search libraries" feature in windows 7 and xp over multiple systems, every now and then it would cause a bluescreen in the middle of searching, no clue why.
now i just memorize where everything is and navigate to it. it was probably just a coincidence and im too paranoid.
