If it smells like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, looks like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, well ♥♥♥♥ it it's probably ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

If it smells like hearts, looks like hearts, well hearts it's probably hearts?

In other news: this doesn't seem very believable.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my quote above was. Why the hell would I ever give up on computers?

Happy April Fools' Day y'all!

 

[Hiatus]

Living without computers? Psh, yeah, right. Good luck with that, haha. Also, happy April Fools Day!

 

[Tsutarja]

Honestly, with all of the promotion of social media and whatnot on television, it'd be difficult to escape the digital world these days.

 

[Tsutarja]

It's sad that #hashtags are appearing in printed advertisements everywhere these days. I haven't done so in a while, but I used to cringe whenever I saw a hashtag on a billboard sign, or even an event flyer at school.

 

[Aeroblast]

I still cringe when I see hashtags everywhere.

 

[Sheep]

pffff I never use hashtags, even on twitter. It's something I'll just never get into.

And living without a computer?! No way! Impossible. :D; I'm too into my "online life" to think of taking a break even for a week. :(

 

[Legendary Silke]

I... I'm still... in awe over //build/.

 

[Tsutarja]

So for some odd reason, I apparently had some Windows updates installed overnight on my desktop (because my screen was at the login when I woke up this morning), but they don't show up in my Updates log at all, other than some Security Essentials things. Weird. Did Microsoft send out a major update or something?

I'm getting fed up with all the Wi-Fi disconnections and timeouts this week. Something's failing within the laptop, and it's gonna be expensive just to repair everything that's wrong with this laptop.

Shopping time? ;-;

 

[Cordelia]

Perhaps, Twiggy -- go for it. ;) I finally upgraded again to 8.1 and I was STILL plagued by "limited connectivity"! I wanted 8.1 so bad that I finally figured out a way to fix it :P It was Microsoft's damned driver.

♥ Thanks Tom's Hardware for once again being awesome. I downloaded the driver from Intel and now it works flawlessly.

 

[Tsutarja]

I have yet to experience the wifi connectivity issue on my laptop, which runs Windows 8.1.. I guess the manufacturer of my wifi device just managed to fix the problem before I got the laptop.

Say, whenever you turn your phone on, do you guys ever get the message that your SD card is damaged? I did earlier today, but it fixed itself once I restarted my device. Not really sure what caused it in the first place, though. d:

 

[Tsutarja]

What kind of phone do you have Ashley? I've never seen the message myself, but that's because I don't have an SD card for my phone yet.

So I tried to make a basic retail website for my little project and uh, it failed. Massively. Apparently I don't know how to list things attractively so that it doesn't look like:
A) a forum post
B) clutter
C) a mismatch

Alas, I'm a dummy.

I'm more than a bit irritated right now because my cousin decided to lecture me about not using technology to my own advantage and that I should use a free website program to create my website. WELL! Unfortunately I'm at the (website looks like forum post) stage and if my cuz was standing nearby, I'd give him a mighty kick.

 

[Legendary Silke]

I think I'm going to take this laptop out to be repaired... I'm hoping to be able to do it today, and collect it sometime next week.

My phone is spending a long time migrating data to a newer version of Windows Phone. Still not 8.1 yet. :3

 

[Hiatus]

What kind of phone do you have Ashley? I've never seen the message myself, but that's because I don't have an SD card for my phone yet.

It's an Android, haha. The phone's been extremely slow lately, so maybe it's got something to do with its speed?

 

[Legendary Silke]

If all else fails, factory reset. If there's no hardware issue, the phone should behave as if it was new.

Don't you hate it when you have a processor that can't handle opening Photoshop, running VLC with audio, and running Firefox with < 10 tabs open without freezing for 15 minute intervals, and it's socket family are all soldered to the mobo?

Yesterday after getting uber frustrated I decided to put together a $260 budget build to get me out of this pickle that doesn't include the processor, considering my aunt has supposedly bought an Intel Core i3-4330 @ 3.5GHz and is mailing it to me. My mother always wants to postpone it indefinitely (and it looks like it won't be happening for a while), but I find this to be of importance, considering our eMachines doesn't have a WNIC and the Netgear USB stick is shot from being yanked out (which was her doing), making my laptop is the only functional computer with internet.

Oh, and did I mention she owes me $260? It's not like it's her money I'm spending, but she had a speeding ticket and needs smokes and just needed my $260 in cash out of the lockbox for that. D:<

Meanwhile, I have no x86 PC to use.
