ITT: tech/software that shouldn't exist

Whatever you're using to post here.
SSDs - boots up 1 second faster, can't defragment files, massively unreliable
144hz displays - videos play at 25 fps for a reason
4k displays - only useful if you use a microscope to look at the monitor
Mechanical keyboards - obnoxiously noisy, slower to type with
Basically anything that's placebo.

Hey guys, I'm about to get my first job out of college (I've been sick), they asked for references from my internships, at the first one they were happy and explicitly said they'd help with anything i needed, at the second one the CEO was mad at me in the end but no problem I can give the email of one mentor that is a cool guy.
I did so last friday, yesterday I emailed them telling them that one of the emails I gave is from a guy who's on vacation and gave another one to contact instead, and they haven't responded at all yet.
Did they cut...

send a friendly follow up email.
then send another
then call them and tell them you sent an email
then send them an email telling them you called them
then find the address of the the guy you emailed and shoot his dog
then leave a voicemail telling them you shot his dog
then email them a video of you fucking his wife.
and call while you're doing it, and leave a voicemail
you can get creative after that.

Good advice, reminds me of the story of denko where a autistic Japanese kid on 2chan tried to get the affection of a girl http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/21533650696/help-the-girl-i-like-wont-respond-to-my-emails where he actually followed tips like that.

hi, my bro bought used laptop presario CQ71, it came without power supply (19V/4.74A) but he's not really technical so he connected it to power supply from another laptop (19.5V/6.76A) it powered up for 5 seconds then gone down.
i wonder what's dead: only power circuits or whole motherboard (more components that i fix on my own)
i have a soldering iron and multimeter, i wonder if it's possible to fix it? change some resistors/capacitors? how do i do that? i can get other totally broken notebooks (that were thrashed) for spare parts but not necessarily that...

how to troubleshoot 101 - Get the schematic and identify and isolate the main input power circuity, then take your multimeter and probe every component starting from the jack and moving your way right up until you get to an asic. if you can;t identify a single component that...

if you have the manuals and the hardware, just fix it, proceed, it's not that hard.
also good job Anon, you seem to know exactly what you're doing. we're proud of you.
>>52380033
Step one is to test the AC Adapter for correct function. Place the negative lead from your multi on the outer metal wall of the plug that goes into the laptop, and then put the positive lead of the multimeter on the small pole inside of the same plug. If it reads the correct voltage and current, then chances are it isn't your AC Adapter.
Now step two is to fucking chuck that shitty CQ71 and save up for a computer that you should have to be paid to use. Jesus fucking christ.
Are external hard drives just laptop hard drives with a fancy enclosure for USB connection or is my roommate retarded?
Nope he's right.
If you even needed to ask then it's you who is retarded.
My external HDD is actually a hdd I took from my boss's nas thatI hot glued into a cardboard box
Small ones are, the larger ones are 3.5 inch HDDs inside enclosures.
You fucking tard.
Do you have someone who looks after you I can talk to?
why doesn't any open source office replacement software suite have an easy to use UI like M$ office? (the ribbons are pretty easy to use and powerful, unlike menu > menu > menu > menu > popup > menu > action)
also why is the macro support on libre/openoffice calc so shit compared to microsoft office excel?
also, are there any open source alternatives (preferably ones where you can host your own servers) to OneNote?
I want to switch away from M$ products towards the open source alternatives but some applications keep me tied to a platform...

hi /g/
i'm tired of baking my macbook (17″ 2.5GHz-early 2008, Model A1261)
is there an alternative or an easy way to reflow the gpu permanently?
or is there a certain usage behaviour around it like keeping the fans above a certain RPM?
Ta muchly
I'm posting from the 15" early 2008 mbp. when these machines were new i reflowed hundreds of them. This computer has the nvidia 8600m GT which was the subject of a class action lawsuit against nvidia. The hardware is broken there is no permanent fix. Apple extended the warranty and did free replacements for 4 years after the purchase. you need to find a revision 2 motherboard, get a new computer, or keep reflowing it. this wasn't only an apple problem.
>>52379603
also, SMC Fan Control. google it.
>>52379603
also, also, you might find a more permanent fix if you can get to an infrared reflow machine. but thats questionable too.
Got a couple of Optiplex GX520's worth revamping?
One has a 40GB HDD and 2x256MB ram
What should I do with them? I believe they both work
Pls halp
Why waste your time?
>>52379618
You're right, why waste my time, just gonna scrap it for copper aluminum & gold / sata cables
Throw them in the trash. They have neither collector's value nor usefulness. A Pi2 can outperform both of them.

Hey guys, I heard you were pretty experienced in this subject.
I'm working on an arduino project for school, and I'd like some help.
First of all, what's the difference between the arduino uno and the arduino micro?
Secondly, why don't my buttons work? I've plugged them in the right way.
Lastly, why do you have to use C++? I want to use html, which is easier.
