Well, he did try putting it in a Dell. That was his first mistake.
Holy Crap, I didn’t think people that dumb existed…
LMAO
Color me cruel, but people that stupid (or lazy to not learn about video cards) shouldn’t own a video card. Bet that guy has one less friend, now.
A shame that pic is ancient and proved fake :p
that is a shame. Bigger shame that I would have no idea that was the case.
pew pew pewned
lol this is so old
Stories like this abound. I’ve heard tell of people who trim the pins off CPU’s to make them fit in the socket as well. Same sort of thing. Its stupid, but it does make a certian sort of sense if you don’t really know anything about computers.
After all, you can get away with this sort of fiddling with a car, why not a computer ?
It makes a certian sort of sense if the person knows nothing about computers at all, but is a bit of a “handyman” type.
“id post pics, but no camera”
Doesn’t that just scream fake?
wait, what did he do, and what is it a harddrive or a video card, your posts have confused me.
My GF works at an EBgames, (its about the same as gamestop) just the other day some teenage kid came in and explained his PSP games didnt work. After further examination she asked to see the game…. THE kid had broken off the plastic casing around the PSP game; He thought it was protective ware and needed to be opened. His games just rattled inside his PSP until they broke.
No, people that dumb DO exist.
I am a college student, and it’s hard to find work sometimes to coincide with my classes. One semester I worked int he computer labs. Frankly, it makes me scared that this is our future.
One very….memorable….incident happened when a mouse was malfunctioning that was hooked up to our printer computer (Each student at the college is assigned a password to sue the printer and it’s charged out of their account so that people dont just let the printer run).
Anyway, they needed the mouse to select and release the print jobs. It broke. Luckily, a keyboard was also attached to the computer, and as any experienced person who knows how to work computers knows that almost all (if not all) things that can be done with a mouse can be done with a keyboard (it just takes longner).
So, I wrte up and instruction sheet, a step by step thing telling everyone how to log in, how to switch fields between Login and Password, how to select things, and how to log out in the end. I placed this on the mousepad and put the mouse behind the computer so people wouldnt try to use it.
First person came up. Didnt look att he sheet, grabbed the mouse from behind the computer, and tried to use it. She then turned to me and said “Its broken”. I pointed her to the instuction sheet.
Second person came up. Same deal.
Third person. Again, their stupidity amazed me.
At this point I took a large highlighter I happened to have with me and wrote “PLEASE READ” on the sheet of paper.
Next few people did fine.
Then, a girl cameup, looked dumbly at the computer, at the keyboard, at the instuctions, looked around, LIFTED the paper and looked UNDER it and in a curious voice turned to me and asked me: “Where is the mouse?”
At this point I just sighed, pointed to the paper to tel my boss I was leaving early. Before I left, I made a copy of the sheet, gave it to him and said “If anyone complains about the mouse today, they were too stupid to read this” and left for home.
I dont work there anymore.
P.S. Oh, and surprisingly we were short of replacement mice for some reason. Apparantly they dont break that often…
“After all, you can get away with this sort of fiddling with a car…” Not anymore, I think.
“Each student at the college is assigned a password to sue the printer…” Nice typo, lol!
