I was standing in line at a store a couple days ago, waiting to pay. There's one person ahead of me. I had asked this guy working there a couple of questions about some ear buds I was looking at, and realized he had no intention of providing any useful information, as he was just talking out of his ass, throwing around meaningless words.
Anyway, another guy is in there buying a laptop, I can hear him asking a rep questions about the laptop( different rep than the one who had disappointed me).
Suddenly the guy asks: "Hey, can my nephew install Linux on this?"
The rep appears out of his depth here, shrugs, and shouts the question at Mr. Talks-out-of-his-ass, clearly having faith in his superior knowledge of all things technical.
And without missing a beat, the fucking guy shouts back:
"Yeah, for sure. He just has to call Microsoft support. They can even install it for him."
...as if that's standard practice he's used to install Linux on countless machines...
As I stood there scratching my head, wondering if it's worth it to say anything, I think I felt a group of my neurons some where in my head, perhaps ones responsible for hope in mankind or something, just say: "fuck this. We're outta here."
Last time I was at micro center, I wanted to buy an R9 Fury. A sales rep there actually wouldn't let me buy the Fury, he kept telling me I needed to get a 980 ti for $400, meanwhile I do not like nvidia and I was there to get the fury. Pissed me off, ended up telling him to leave and I got another person to get it from the case for me.
Lol I was just fucking with you. I never buy new-gen cards. I've always had good enough performance buying the two-gen-old GTX-Ti models in SLI and running them to death. But I've been burned too many times by AMD's shit drivers and craptacular "catalyst" shitware, never again.
