I am seriously peeved at interface between users/software/hardware. My relationship with the laptop is seriously irritating this month. First, I wake up one morning and HEM decides to revert back to trial status. It takes up 4 days of troubleshooting on a clusterfuck of googling, post lurking, email, reinstallations, and finally a teamviewer session with support just to straighten it out. That kind of sets me back goalwise for poker.
Just yesterday my google chrome stops working on start up while firefox + IE works just fine. It takes within 10 minutes of boot time for chrome to connect to the web. My tableninja somehow suffers the same problem, god knows how these two problems are tied, while HEM works fine at the time of start up. Still haven't resolved this one so tiltinggggggggggggggg.
So today I'm rockin to music on earbuds when I adjust my seating with my textbook on the cord. I get suddenly blasted by 10,000 hertz of infernal buzzing on the 3rd study floor of a silent library. Sound stops working, so I reboot and apparently had to choose an operating system now every time?
I readjust my volume slider only to find it sliding down from max to 0 in three seconds flat, sliding like a stripper down a greased flagpole. I open up word document and nothing was repeating so wtf? after a full hour of investigation and uninstalling/reinstalling sound drivers, I found out that I SOMEHOW inadvertently held down the shift key for +8 seconds and enabled stickey keys. There goes study time :
Computers are the biggest time trolls ever. Holler if youre with me

You know, you can e-mail HEM support and they'll remote-control your computer and solve whatever problem you have. Or, alternatively, if you just e-mail them, sometimes they'll just tell you a few things to double-check and they usually fix any problems. |

true that brother, once they get up n running they increase efficiency, it's just getting them setup or fixing problems that takes the time.
goes back to the dawn of technology: imagine what the first farmer thought about fixing his bloody fence so the sheep don't get out! but he's still got the edge on the hunter gatherers. |

uhh i suppose technology could be beneficial in so many ways lol. but i hear u man in fact figuring out that i accidentally disabled teh sound driver is actually half the fun. i seriously can't wait for technology to integrate with mind powers, it would be so sick to see in our lifetime. Controlling 95% of disney world from my cryogenic bucket helmet just like big Walt himself.
@Exhilarate: I did not get to cross  |
