That Bytes - Technology Rants
 

Have you ever gotten bluescreened and lost hours if not days of work?
Have you ever bought a brand new CD, only to find it cracked in the freshly opened case?
Have you ever gotten a virus that ate away at your harddrive until it became a worthless pile of poop?
Have you ever found that perfect computer program, only to find that it's not compatible with your OS?

And were you angry about it?
Post it here! All your computer rants and raging...Don't smash that keyboard, use it to vent!
Also feel free to offer advice to others in the thread.
Also keep in mind the primary focus of this thread is ranting and advice for computers and other technology. :)

So today my computer's built in keyboard randomly decided to stop working. Restarting didn't help, running a virus scan, didn't help. Reinstalling drivers? NOPE. Nothing...I was about to give up and call tech support to see how much it would cost to fix...When it suddenly started working again.
I mean seriously what the fuck is up with that? >:C You don't work for hours, and then suddenly you wanna work again? Fucking Haunted Computer of annoying...>____>

Okay so I really hate most apple users.

When "spring forward" just happened, what, a day ago? Sunday Morning, a lot of iphone users fell BACK instead of an hour forward, and many people were late to work! It didn't happen to everyone, but it happened to some people, and a friend of mine posted an article about it on facebook, to which I replied, "APPLE = FAIL" because, well, it's a really simple, really stupid glitch that takes 5 minutes to fix and shouldn't happen, especially because in the fall, most iphones didn't fall back...You'd think during one of the updates since, they'd have checked to make sure it was working right for the spring, yes?
I was just being a little goofy, but instantly I was attacked by this crazy woman who insisted that the article was made up--but then I checked the writer's sources (of which Twitter was included) and dozens of people on the first page of searching Twitter had issues with the iPhone and it FALLING BACK...so they were late to work or whatever. I showed it to her, and she tells me

My eyes rolled so far back in my head it hurt. It wasn't a debate, she said it didn't happen, I proved that it did, she just didn't want to admit her holy Apple was flawed, ever.
