Spooky Tech Experiences

>use these bluetooth headphones when running
>play podcast on my phone and can hear audio but it's faint
>try turning up the volume on the headset but it doesn't work
>think the bluetooth must be disconnected and the faint audio I'm hearing must be coming out of my phone speaker
>it's not and the headphones are connected
>feel for power switch to turn headset off and on
>it's off
>The headphones are off, no status lights are on, none of the buttons work, but audio is still playing through them

Genuinely spooked the fuck out.

Bump

radio signal

What do you mean?

That it was a radio signal.

This one is from a friend, and I saw this happen. Computer would literally bsod if whoever was using it got off the chair. We even considered some sort of weird static generated by the chair or something. Eventually fixed when he got a new one.

Spoopy shit.

>computer sitting idle while I was trying to get something done on my phone
>command prompt flashes for less than a second

Maybe you just imagined it.

Not possible, right when I was about to open firefox it appeared and closed in less than a second, couldn't even see what it even tried to do.

>checking system logs
>about 500 bad password attempts on root
>scroll down a bit more
>login success

bumping

>it closes instantly
>fire up MBAM
>closes immediately

I took care of it, and then I continued using the same windows xp install.. in fact, this was 5 years ago and to this day I am still using it.

You deserve it

It's not gone it's hiding, waiting...

> password attempts on root
Oh man.

I used to get some creepy-ass Polish radio station on my speakers that always played melancholic piano music. I instantly recognized what's going on but it was still spooky as fuck - especially alone at night...

bearing in mind that this is super super far away from anything and the nearest town is like 25 miles and it is not a popular place

my friends all thought that this was me playing a prank but It was real and super spooky

in the old dial up modem days the modem in my mothers machine used to pick up german radio

she'd be sitting there playing games at 3am and hear some quite tinny voice speaking german coming from her machine

very freaky untill we figured it out

Tell us more

...

I bought an strix before a saw on this board about them all being %50 defective, and got mine today only to find a capacitor thingo in the bottom of the bag. I cat blame anyone other than AMD But considering the amount of cards made it's bound to happen.

Still Iis a fuck off that it's happened to me

AMD 8350
Corsair 16gb vengeance cas 9
r7 256bit 4gb dd5.

But even then the only problem I can point out is the stock cooler that's came with the cpu. But it's not something to be laughed at in terms on tech.

Sure it's cheep as chips but the laser cutting and fitting of the cooler finds is spot on for what's it meant to be in mass production, If you were to ask for the cooler that came with it 5 years ago you'd struggle to afford it.

I'm an aussi and payed $1400 on ebay. it's way too much by global standards, but for this in an intell build, fuck that.

I've been drinking and can see this is a amd plug.

Still unless you have a serious business application intell is just for cock stroking. Unless you're doing hashes. then you'd be able to afford intell.

Bampin, more stories please!
