Ask me... about tech

[Bryn]

I would much prefer to be asked about things pertaining to my field of knowledge than about my personal life, which was just like taking blood from a stone. So here, ask me anything about tech but there are some points that must be taken into account before you go ahead:

• I'm better at being asked about stuff to do with old tech, such as Windows 98, XP and even old software we once remembered. So anything newer, even since the Windows 8 era, I won't answer.
• I also won't answer anything about smartphones as I don't own one and never liked them, but I can for other devices and gadgets.

Now, will all that said, fire away friends 🙂

Well, my first question is why don't you like smart phones? Like what is it about them that you don't like?

Also, what was your favorite feature about Windows 98?

Do you have Tech pets?

From a traditionalist's point of view, they're stupid, and too fiddly. Not to mention that it's become more of a luxury than an actual thing to make phone calls. Was that what Apple intended when they brought out the first iPhone?

And my favourite feature about Win98... the simplicity, although Windows 2000 was far more superior than it, which is another favourite of mine.

And @Tick-O-Tock, it appears you didn't read the topic title. Ask me anything tech-based, or I'll hit you silly.

[Bryn]

I had a robot dog thing as a kid, appropriately called "Megabyte" or something like that.

 

[Bryn]

Bomp.

Because I can.

Do you stream?

 

[Bryn]

No, but I like to paddle in streams 😛

Well, for a more serious answer, I cannot anyway, for several reasons. Most of it comes to my disinterest in it.

How many hours a day you look at your PC screen

 

[Bryn]

Every day, but I do take my eyes off it for short breaks because, you need to.

DO you make money online?

 

[Bryn]

No, because I earn money already... through benefits. I need this to stay alive.

what is the name of your city

 

[Bryn]

Excuse me sir... this is a tech related question thread. NOT a general one. Ask me anything about tech as it clearly says on the thread title or, don't ask me anything at all. Sorry for being short, but it needs to be said.

And in that case, maybe @Teg can ask me anything else relating to tech if she likes, just to get moving properly.

what is the name of your tech city

Alright then! how many tech shops in your City

 

[Bryn]

That's better. Keep at it, bro 😀

Well for this one, lots, considering that I'm in Scotland's largest city. There's even a small independent one just down the road from me 🙂

Do you go into those stores? like seeing the tech and able to touch them and then buy them or just stick to buying online as there are price difference. And also out of all the tech stores what is your number one?

 

[Bryn]

The last one I went to was that local one, only to get an external hard drive case. The much bigger one, that is Currys/PC World, was back in 2011 when I first got this laptop. The best one you say? PC World! 🙂
