When I go to buy apples, I shouldn't have to know all the ins and outs of apple manufacturing.
Buying a car, I shouldn't have to spend weeks learning about how an engine works, how an airbag deploys, and what specific materials and joining techniques they use to construct the frame.

But it seems that as a consumer when I buy a computer, I need to learn a vast array of technical details, familiarize myself with the jargon, and carefully study all the ins and outs of the various companies, software providers, and scam artists plaguing the market.

Computers are finicky pieces of shit that frequently fly off the rails. Despite this large companies like Microsoft fail to provide adequate support for their products. If you want a solution to a technical issue, the onus is on you to endlessly sift through shady online forum posts filled with indecipherable technical jargon, and solutions that rarely address your specific problem.

It seems that software developers are trapped in a state of arrested development, and lack all professionalism. Their error screens mock you with a "frowny face" emoticon. Software instructions and updates put out by large tech companies are written in a slack-jawed casual California style which is less suit-and-tie and more teeshirt-and-boardshorts.

It's time for the software industry to grow the fuck up. These programmers might be fine coasting in a whimsical white-fingered dream world, but the customer is suffering for it. Put on a suit and tie and act like adults.

The government needs to come out with a set of guidelines for silicon valley related to customer service.
No more shoving half-developed buggy software packages on consumers.
No more invasions of privacy and loosey-goosey terms of service agreements.
No more pushing out major products into the world, raking in billions, and then failing to provide even a tiny modicum of technical support on your website.
No more planned obsolescence.

Anyone know what might be the issue here?

Been trying to play Arma 2 OA for a while now, and it runs fine and everything but the screen is what I can only describe as fuzzy and grainy. Normal ARMA 2 looks fine.

When the game boots up my monitor kind of resets where it turns black for a few seconds and goes to the grainy fuzz which is only cured when exiting or Alt + Tabbing out of the game, which the monitors "resets" again.

It's almost like watching a VHS tape on a 1080p television.

So I'm breaking down and giving up on W7 and gonna dualboot Windows 10 and Linux(Ubuntu since amazon botnet purged)

I briefly used LTSB N until it was confirmed there was nothing you could do to disable spying, is it still the best version of W10?

I'm gonna do all my non gaming computing on linux.

Hello nerds.

So I have a meeting with a small app developer company, they asked what we want and its characteristics, which we already have.

Question is it rude to add in the deal the source code of the project? I mean dead serious, their company its only 3 years old and the app is focused as a ICT solution; its a long investment which should last at least a decade or more if upgraded. What happens if their company don't last as many smalls usually do?

Whats the common agreement you usually do in this situation.

My GTX1060 is staying at 1544MHz clock speed even when I'm not gaming.

How do I get it to change performance level so that it isn't sucking more power and running hotter than it needs to?

What the fuck is wrong with Chrome? Why does it suck at high resolutions?

I never see anyone talk about it. Do none of you plebs have monitors larger than 1080p? lol @ needing to inject a line of code into your browser for it to work.
