ECS motherboards are stupid and shitty

If you’re planning on buying a computer, I have two suggestions which will benefit you in the long run. My first suggestion is for you to invest a little more on a good motherboard. I would highly recommend ASUS or AsRock motherboards. Why? Because the money you spend on them is worth your while in quality and durability (provided your power supply doesn’t get struck by lightning, in which case, not even the most high quality motherboard can survive).

             

Now here’s my second suggestion:

That’s right! Screw ECS motherboards!

         

Observe that picture for a moment. You see those words printed at the top of the box? The line which goes: "Supports Intel Core 2 Duo/ Pentium D Processor"? Well, I have a suggestion for you people who print the boxes at ECS. You people can save yourselves hell of a lot of money on ink by scrapping that entire line, and just simply replacing it with the word "BULLSHIT"! ECS motherboards do not support Core 2 Duo processors.

            

I know, I know. You people out there with ECS motherboards installed to your computers are probably cursing me by now, asking me the usual question which goes: "Who the hell do you think you are to bitch about *insert topic/stereotype/subject here*?". Well, for starts, I work as a computer technician, so quit whining.

                   

ES motherboards have caused me and my collegues nothing but trouble. It becomes especially annoying when a customer requests for an ECS motherboard to be fitted with a Core 2 Duo (C2D) processor. The thing is that after fitting in a C2D processor into an ECS motherboard, all you’ll be seeing is a black screen.

             

Now comes the good bit. Try calling their technical support line. According to the technicians at ECS, this is the first time they have encountered a problem with a C2D processor and ECS motherboard. Once again, bullshit being pelted straight into my ear. Why? Because I tested MULTIPLE C2D processors with MULTIPLE ECS motherboards. How the hell is it possible that none of them shows any display?! ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!

                  

In an attempt to make themselves look less of a bunch of idiots, they told us to flash the BIOS of the motherboard. Either way, it turned out unsuccessful. And then, I receive calls, asking me to read out all the tiny serial numbers on the processors, because they claim that the suppliers needed reference. In other words, they think it’s the processor’s problem. WRONG! The processor works smoothly on an ASUS board. Man, I hate people!

             

Eventually, they switched those ECS boards with a different set of ECS boards of a better model. Finally, the C2D processors worked on those motherboards. But the motherboards still sucked, because the boards made the Core Two Duos run like they were Core Half Duos.

                     

In another incident, the computer had a problem of automatically restarting itself when heavy processes were run. Upon closer inspection of the insides of the computer, BAM! It was fitted with the same ECS motherboard as those which I mentioned earlier. Simple. I switched all the components onto an ASUS motherboard, and the problem was never encountered again.

          

I happen to know a little about computer viruses. and I can safely diagnose that ECS is not a product. It’s a virus. It’s the same thing. Humans get HIV, computers get ECS. Scary, isn’t it?

               

I hope my related incidents will help you decide what motherboards to choose for your computers in the future. ECS motherboards are stupid and shitty. Take a look at the picture of the box of the ECS motherboard I posted earlier. Notice the line below the yellow words? Well, enriching your PC experience, my ass! ECS products are stupid and shitty! Boycott ECS products!

Another actor that can replace Jay Chou, and acts exactly like him

                  

Lately, you can see the posters of the movie ‘The Curse Of The Golden Flower’ all over the place. Of the characters most noticed in the poster is none other than the mumbler himself, Jay Chou.

            

Great… Another Jay Chou movie… It is obvious who’s the target audience of this movie. That’s right! Little girs who think Jay Chou is col, and good looking, and stuff like that. But honestly, take a moment to think about it. What’s so great about Jay Chou? Has Zhang Yimou ran out of cast members to choose a better actor?

             

Usually when you ask the girls what they think about Jay Chou’s acting, most of them will say "OH MY GOD! JAY CHOU IS SUCH A GREAT ACTOR! I SO LOVE HIM! LOL!" (Yes, I know that sentence is grammatically wrong, but trust me, I’ve heard stuff about Jay that sounded something along that line. Stop bitching, you morons!). Anyways, When you ask them what is go great about Jay Chou’s acting, they will either switch the topic or not reply at all. But then again, I’m sure it’s hard to give a reply when one is constantly kissing Jay Chou’s collective ass, isn’t it?

          

Owh, and by the way, Jay Chou’s character dies in the movie. Nope, no punch line there. I’m serious.

                        

Now, continue thinking about this. What’s so great about Jay Chou himself? What does he do, anyway? He mumbles, and stumbles around with a straight face of determination, pretty much like that of an idiot running into a concrete pillar. If I remembered correctly, people who act like that have a condition known as ‘Down Syndrome’.

                     

Now, I have been thinking and thinking and thinking for another actor that acts the way Jay Chou does. It was difficult, but finally I found an actor that is exactly like Jay Chou. Want to know who? Here he is:

Yup! Introducing the actor that is on par with Jay Chou. His name is Brick Wall.

            

Zhang Yimou! If you ever want to make another Jay Chou movie, do consider giving Mr. Brick Wall a chance. Think about it! Brick Wall acts the same as Jay Chou, and you don’t even need to pay Brick wall for acting in your movies. Big time profit!
