It's like doing one of those "put the peg in the right shaped hole" puzzles for an adult, and Wu considers it to be this impossible task that only hardcore techies can pull off. This is legitimately depressing, I'm overwhelmed by second hand embarrassment.
 
No wu, if anything this tweet makes it irrefutable that you're full of shit.

Desktop PCs these days are literally legos. Very, very, expensive legos. I can understand and respect someone's decision to "not want to fuck with that" and thus just buy one but it's not hard by any reasonable standard. You don't even need specialized tools and there aren't that many bits you need to fit together.

The only part I've ever seen as remotely difficult is installing the CPU cooler as that requires some physical strength and a bit of mechanical common sense (to know if you're doing it wrong, pull back for a second, and thus not break anything); everything else is just plugging like male and female connectors together where the tomes that came with the parts tell you to.
 
A moment of silence for all of those computer parts Wu has bought, which, instead of being in a beautiful, humming machine playing Overwatch or something, will soon be broken beyond disuse at the hands of an irrelevant game dev baiting for more sympathy and/or trolls on Twitter via smacking them together like a bunch of Tonka toys.

:semperfidelis:
 
Jesus Christ, she makes reading the motherboard manual and following the directions sound like something akin to calculating the rate of expansion in the universe.

Please Wu, just stop.

Edit: Also, if she's had a lifetime of experience, then why is she asking for help over the most simple of steps?
 
Hopefully turns out to be John's version of plugging in the Keurig in the bathroom outlet :alog:

I assume Brianna has a USB CD drive, since there isn't one included in the build. If she doesn't, things are going to get potentially fun when she tries to install an OS.
 
Well let's hope this goes better than your adventures with #BlueApron

>not grounding the motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc. and making sure it outputs video BEFORE screwing everything together


Scrub.

>to get the BIOS to recognize everything

Please. Just stop trying to sound like you know what you're talking about.
 
That PSU has this great potential hazard built into it. A really easy to make fry everything on startup mistake.
 
4/1 says it wont make tomorrow
6/1 itll make the weekend
10/1 says itll make next week
2/1 says itll be buried in the yard and mass complaints about the lack of female connectors...
 
I hope nobody tells her about the small power connector that needs to plug in the mobo, it won't boot without that

This is a floppy power connector and if you plug it in to a fan header on the motherboard it will fry

In John's computer, all the male connectors identify as female.

That changed shortly after taking office when Clark heard the story of Brianna Wu, a software engineer and game developer who found herself the target of online harassers. The abuse grew so frightening — with threats of rape, death and castration — that Wu left her home.

I like that there were threats of castration against Wu. Top kek.
 
I've had issues with builds before. Like those metal plates on the ends of cards not properly lining up with the slots and/or screw holes on the case. And I always, always bark my knuckles against the soldery side of something and bleed. I have come to the conclusion a PC won't function until it's had a blood sacrifice. These are nearly always simple mechanical problems, though.
