I agree that the article I linked isn't the best one about Google being botnet.

This pic should explain why Chrome is bad:

Is this the picture that's hosted straight on /g/ wiki? I'm pretty sure I've seen this before.

But tbh I don't use chrome either simply cause Firefox supports css themes for the entire browser so that was more than enough to get me to switch over.
 
I use both, also Opera on my laptop. I was using Chrome only recently on my Desktop since my Laptop is pretty much broke, can't even remember how many blue screens its had lol.

I downloaded the newest Firefox so I don't have to get notified that I logged into Facebook in incognito mode (I have 2 FBs). Firefox just seems much slower, also when I was watching a youtube video on it it used up way more cpu/memory then chrome does during a video, playing music, whatever.
 
Corsair's RMA service is weird...and wonderful.

I submitted a question yesterday about the case's power LED no longer being lit.

This morning, I found myself an email telling me that a new ticket has been opened and it's been updated.

They processed it and have sent out a replacement, free of charge! I don't even have to return the kooky case per the ticket.

The power LED in our HP desktop died on us many years ago, but it was the sleep mode LED that died on us. We didn't bother replacing it as the sleep mode on the computer didn't exactly work too well...

Waking up from sleep used to be really finicky. Luckily, most device manufacturers have picked up their slack... It's really hard to find a computer that can't sleep properly these days.

Well, this desktop is roughly 10 years old so I can see why now.

Mmm hmm.

I want to buy a UPS for my desktop. I think I'm spoiled rotten, in a way, by laptops not turning themselves off abruptly when the power's cut...

I get into too many power blackouts here.

I could be getting a job at Amazon soon :)

It's only seasonal, and not really tech-related, but still neat to be working with one of the largest e-commerce sites.

Yay!

I still am trying to find a suitable job...

Just realized my computer is 6 years old and still pretty runs well in any game. Good Job Intel Core i5 750!

Sometimes it does feel like CPUs have gotten stuck in time, even though major improvements have been made in areas other than raw performance.

Turns out they're sending out the replacement IO panel for my case. Not bad.

I'd imagine that the Intel i lineup of processors does good for sure :)

It's hard to believe that my current laptop is almost two years old and it's in much better condition than my old HP laptop was just after a year.

That Toshiba, right?

It kind of says something about that HP, though. Like... lemons of lemons.

Back then laptop has longer battery life, because they do not have power consuming processors.

Same like Nokia 3310

Um, for laptops, it's the other way around. With CPUs *this* fast, the CPU doesn't have to spend much time doing work. Result? Thin-and-light notebooks that can work for over 10 hours in a single charge doing something useful.

As always, I remind people to let their laptop batteries drain then charge instead of keeping them plugged in all the time, that way the batteries don't fail. :P

One sometimes does wonder how long can you stretch a battery before it stops providing any power.
 
Depends on what happens with it, leave plugged in, just not use it for years. Mine gets 2-4 hours from the 4-6 hours it used to get. I leave it plugged in because of that.

I wonder if I got ripped off, my stepdad apparently asked where was my laptop (because I haven't been using it). So we took in next day to get it looked at, 2 days later we got it back, he cleaned it he said, took away some bad stuff that was messing with it, cleaned up my startup. then charged a pretty good sum of cash. 2 hours later the Wifi cut out and blue screen again lol. It seems to be working fine-ish now. Besides some weird malware programs just showed up and Firefox is totally gone from my laptop.

My battery seemed to be so bad in the first place that I had no choice but to do this :X
