The odd rules of technology

The odd rules of technology Picture 1 " Once you fix a computer for friends or family members, you'll be an 'lifelong technology supporter ' - that's an example of 'weird laws' in technology.

- For every patch that Windows Update downloads to your computer, it will destroy at least two other things on your computer.

- It seems that Windows will automatically install important time consuming patches just for you to boot your computer.

- Computer hard drives are often 'dead' just as you are preparing to back up data.

- Your data often fails before you prepare to add an external hard drive for backup.

- Your backup plan is only good if your last recovery was successful.

- The number of USB ports on a Mac computer is always less than the one you need, regardless of when.

- Feeling time pressure to fix a computer quickly will make you more time consuming.

- If you tighten the screw into the case before retrying (after repair), the device will not work but if you try it before tightening the screw, it will definitely be 'delicious'.

- Even if you only edit a computer for friends or family members, you will become a lifelong 'technical support staff'.

- You will become a "slave" of someone immediately after "building" them a computer.

- Advise someone to buy a product that you use very 'deliciously', but the following buyer will almost certainly get bogged down in the 'mesmerizing match', warranty, return that product.

- Excellent presentation of any IT skills at work, the technical department will begin to introduce you to 'hard-to-cooperate' colleagues.

- If a certain product goes wrong, you call the support line and while you are waiting for help, it will work again without knowing why.

- Within 1 month after accepting 'friend' with your boss on Facebook, you will feel regretful about it.

- The worse a website is, the more slippery and sketchy its commercials are.

- When you have to enter the confirmation characters on a website, you will almost certainly enter the number 1 instead of the lowercase L and the letter O (capitalized) instead of 0.

- As soon as you are about to defeat the boss in the online game, how does your Internet connection die?

- A draft of some bad email always finds its way (accidentally) to the recipient.

- The battery charger of your current mobile phone is almost impossible to use for the phone that will be purchased in the future.

- The laptop battery charger is always half the weight of the laptop.

- The laptop battery will run out twice as quickly if you leave the house and forget to bring the power cord.

- The battery capacity of a laptop is often inversely proportional to the amount of work you need to complete.

- The last battery of the iPod or iPhone will disappear when the plane door closes.

- The special plug (worth only about 50 cents) of the charger for the digital device you just purchased will disappear within 2 weeks and force you to spend an additional $ 40 to buy another.

- Make sure the coffee cup on the table finds a 'landing' path on your laptop.

- The software vendor's help page often has extremely easy and understandable instructions for problems but not your problem.

- 9 out of 10 edits to fix the Registry to fix your computer, new errors will arise and outweigh the old errors.

- 9 out of 10 times you download an anti-spyware program, it will create more silent and cunning activities than 'spyware' you are trying to block.

- The formula for calculating computer speed is improved after you run a Registry cleanup program: z (n + y). Where 'n' is the number of cleaned Registry indexes, y is the CPU speed (in gigahertz) and finally z = 0.
