I am prettier and skinnier than you

How's the PC

You gonna build something else?

Have you ever considered using another operating system

Funny you mention it. Occasionally it has trouble booting up, and today is one of those days

I'd like to, when I have more disposable income.

Maybe if I were to study programming or something. Otherwise, Windows suits my needs.

 

[Warmmedown]

What kinda trouble? Like an error message? That's pretty weird. Must be quick when it's running though.

don't you have anything left over between food/travel/basic clothes and what you put into emergency?

What would you build? Didn't mean another full-on PC really. Like, idk, a table or something lol. Or peripherals or a games console.

Did you say you soldered to build your PC? Can't remember. Ok I checked, you said you wanted to learn it. Could solder a Vita together or something? Dunno.

Would you ever study programming? Is it something you've tried?

How was irn bru....

Like something pressing the power button it just won't turn on. I usually unplug everything and switch off everything and then try spamming the power button until it cooperates. Might be a problem with the CMOS battery, the power button connection or the Power Supply.

I do but I have other considerations like driving lessons, saving to move out, dog's bills etc. I want to study something soon too so there may be costs related to that.

I see. Well, I would like to build more computers. Something with more power, and just smaller form factor PCs. Other than that, I like to assemble furniture. I plan on buying a new bed soon and some furniture that I will assemble if that counts.

No soldering required on a PC. It's simply getting all the parts, installing them/screwing them in, and plugging in all the connections. It's not really difficult just a bit tedious and you need to take your time. I would like to learn soldering though.

I'm not sure. I haven't studied it, but as for potential career paths I've considered doing a basic entry course into IT, which can then branch off into various different areas of expertise.

I didn't drink the Irn Bru because I hear it's banana flavour or they use banana extract or something and while it's probably artificial I didn't want to risk it given my allergy.

You mean like Ikea furniture? My desk was from there, was a pain but ok in the end. I kept thinking I was missing pieces lol.

Idk wtf a CMOS is. How did you learn about PC parts? Mostly from reading or from videos? Was there a learning curve or was it your acquisition of expertise (yah) quite linear?

Why smaller form factor? Does that just mean a smaller PC? Do those Single-Board Computers like Rasberry Pi interest you?

Do you have pet insurance?
Hopefully you'll be driving within a year. It'll make things way more time-efficient and give you more options for work/study.

Oh I didn't know you're allergic to banana. Damn. Is it bad? What happens? Are you allergic to plantain too? You'll have to find another obscure drink one day that I can buy too.

Are there colleges around you with courses like that? Or online?
What else you thought of doing?

Do you prefer working with things or people or both?

Yeah flat pack furniture. The key with that is to double and triple check the parts list and sorting everything out before you start.

CMOS is basically the firmware for the motherboard. To clear it I needed to short two pins on the motherboard with a screwdriver and remove the CMOS battery (looks like a watch battery) from the board for about five minutes. after which I installed a fresh BIOS.

As for learning about PC parts, mainly just exposure to many different videos and build guides. There are really seven major components - CPU, GPU, Motherboard, RAM, Storage, Power Supply and Case. Once you get a basic understanding about how these things work you can then move on to the naming and marketing conventions and what they mean - Intel Celeron, Pentium, i3, i5, i7, i9, Xeon, and Ryzen 5, 7, 9, Threadripper. Basically set a budget and that will dictate what parts you can get.

Smaller PCs fascinate me, and are more portable. You sacrifice more stuff naturally but you can still get powerful machines in a tiny package:

Raspberry Pi is cool but I'm more interested in a conventional Windows PC.

I do not have pet insurance, no. I'm not that well read on it but I'm hoping if and when my dog has a clean bill of health to look into it.

Pretty severe from what I remember. I'm not sure what happens exactly but I'm fairly certain I'd be hospitalized. I don't know what plantain is.

Both. Just trying to see what would be optimal with my work schedule.

As for something else, not sure. My mobility is an issue. Bad knees, can't squat etc. This limits me physically so as to rule out laboring or trades. I wouldn't mind looking into train driving.

My job really is a mix of both. I can't say I have a preference. I like working independently but perhaps paradoxically I like the socialization aspect as well.

Are there any moments on the job where you ask for or require help?

 

[Sovran Nila]

What're your hobbies and passions, aside from anime and manga?

What was the last meal that you cooked for yourself?

 

[Pocket-Gog~]

Uh cwinge

 

[Yoshi]

Do you like the Monster Anime or the Monster Manga better?

 

[Mr. Popo Fan]

Are there any moments on the job where you ask for or require help?

If we have a particularly big delivery or if it's busy and we are short staffed.

 

[Mr. Popo Fan]

I like to play games, watch film, wrestling, forums.

Dunno. Maybe a lasagna?

 

[Mr. Popo Fan]

Haven't seen the anime but I plan on it. The manga is my favourite manga.

Ironic

In all seriousness (since continuing the dumb beef is a waste of time), how many computers do you own?

 

[Pocket-Gog~]

Ironic

Stop being obsessed with spamming my thread, go hit the treadmill, develop actual skills you can use because I just spent all of yesterday learning how to program in Python/Visual Studio Code and am doing far more to elevate my station than your self-admittedly retarded ass. You're nothing but a waste of my time.
