Just ordered the bits to make my new computer. Maybe sometime this week I'll clear off space for it on my desk. !techponies

So I walked out and abandoned a shopping cart full of computer parts at Fry's just now. They wouldn't sell me what I wanted. I tell them, "I want this," and they say, "We have a lovely that, which is not what you want and is more expensive." Or, I point to a card and say, "I'll take that," and lo and behold they don't have that item they're advertising in-store. TLDR - #firstworldproblems I'm buying my computer online after all. !techponies

@scribus Weak. Sauce.
-
@gangstashy Oh, I am having a decidedly non-pony rant over it with a friend.
-
Oh, I love it when a web search turns up outdated tech articles... Search: "Motherboard buyer's guide." Results include things like: "If you want to take advantage of the newest dual-core processors..." or "Newer motherboards will probably use DDR3 RAM." So very informative. #sacrasm !techponies #firstworldproblems

Did a total factory reset of my phone...why may you ask? Because most of my applications (I'd guess more than 3/4 of them) were installed onto my 32gb Micro SD Card...which got lost in my room when my phone fell off of my desk earlier. Finding it is going to be impossible, what with how miniscule those things are, and how much stuff there is in my room. All of my FiM episodes, music, pictures...it's all replaceable, but rebuilding it is going to be a nightmare, plus I have to burn a whole in my wallet and order a new one...(The fact that I still experience frequent Launcher Crashes even after said reset really irritates me as well! #FirstWorldPains !techponies !androidbronies

This video makes a really good point, if you want an iPad 2 for Christmas, it may be a good idea to wait a few months. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlPLbXbxLnY&list=FLIVA_kxxyutNsSObA86tLtg&index=2&feature=plpp_video !techponies

@yodelerty See, it's not a matter of Windows Vista being out dated, it's a matter of it sucking from the very moment it was released and always staying that way.
-
@leonkfox And the reason they released Windows 7 so soon after. My mom doesn't seem to notice the crap that is Vista, and she doesn't even have a smart phone, so I doubt she'll care about having an outdated iPad a few months down the road.
-
@yodelerty I used to have a laptop with Vista on it, I really didn't mind it at first, but after a few months it started to get on my nerves something awful. (Similar to how my experience with Android has turned, though it took considerably longer for me to grow tired of it than it did with Vista)

Any recommendations for good places to get computer hardware? Think I'm gonna roll my own desktop soon-ish. !techponies
-
@thatonepony Yeah, I was just at Fry's. Also looked at Newegg. Both pretty comparable to each other, AFAIK.
-
@thatonepony And even though I drive a minivan, gas is still cheaper than postage.

It's a good year or so off, but when this contract ends I don't see myself getting another Android phone, I may just go with Windows Phone 7. !techponies !androidbronies

@scootaloofan @mushi Yes I flipped on 4Kids/Toonzai whatever, and was like WTFOMG WHAT IS THIS!
-
@mushi I dunno lol

Well, I need a good HDD recovery utility/method. !techponies
-
@derps A man can make a spelling mistake. Those occasionally happen.
-
@nerthos I'll keep that in mind when I return to take another stab at it. Thanks!

Is !techponies a thing? The Nokia Lumia 800 is an excellent phone and you should try one out at your earliest convenience.

Is there a technical name for a quick release valve? A friend said they got one at Home Depot I can't find anything when I search using quick release valve. !techponies
