When I did that class was during the "macs don't crash" meme. They were right. They didn't crash, they would just bog down and function so slowly without recovering that they should have crashed.

they dont crash they just give you the color wheel

Yeah, that too.

Windows 95 style. Forever loading.

lul

in elementary we had macs

i liked playing kids pix xd

Never forget having to touch the metal chair to ground yourself before powering on the computer.

Any static buildup on your body would result in a shock between you and the computer. Was nothing harmful to you, just unpleasant, and potentially destroy the machine.

wonderful

That's where all the anti static bs came from. 20+ years ago the components weren't nearly as resilient as they are today.

I always wanted to wave the floppies around.

yeah people buying static wristbands n stuff are being kinda silly

This retard I knew got £1000 from his mum for xmas and complained it wasn't enough

then he spent £50 on antistatic gloves

lol fug

no wonder it isn't if you buy retarded shit like that

what a dink

Most of the video guide people admit to never using the shit personally. It's still a possibility, and not a bad precaution to make. But I've rolled around on carpet to switch the cmos jumper while overclocking.

I shut the power supply off and depleted the caps, of course. But still.

ive seen reviewers grabbing shit by the pcb lmao

idk

It's perfectly safe if your hands are clean.

Hell a lot of modern low power motherboards have dehumidifier functions where they'll power on to produce just enough heat to stay dry in humid conditions.

I've only seen it on sub 25w platforms, though.

so like

there's some asus predator laptop at ces that costs a cool $9000

Isn't that the one with the dual gpus and mechanical keyboard? Or is that the acer?

yeah

i think it has dual 1080s

That was hideous as fuck

cherry mx brown switches keyboard

Razer presented that surround 4k laptop, hah.
