Re: Every Chinese desktop computer must....
You also have to run the monitor at 1024x768 regardless of how shitty it looks on a 1680X1050 native display.
And every smartphone/tablet must have WeChat so the government can monitor and censor all your communications. I'm sure this will make me unpopular, but you have to be a fuggin idiot to put any Tencent product on a digital device. Please don't help that shitty company increase their market share, have a little integrity and just say "NO" to WeChat.

Re: Every Chinese desktop computer must....
Yeah what is it with this wechat and weixin product thing... seems like many Chinese are asking do I use these which I'd never heard of until the last month or two... but sounds like most Chinese that I have asked, use these two apps in a similar way as to how TXT/SMS works, so I don't understand what is so special about it other than being able to link contacts and share stuff...
Life is hectic enough without even more invasion of electronic this, that and the other. Office automation, comprising computers, the internet and a range of electronic whizz bang this, that and the other meant to help us make better use of our time - instead 24 hours gets pushed into 24:01 with questionable productivity gains. Roll in the local manual telephone exchange with Sonya, Betty, Sarah et al. with shared party lines... oh those good ol' days...
Way too much interconnectivity for my liking... YMMV
Re: Every Chinese desktop computer must....
Well, bikerdoc, I've come in peace with myself now and just constantly quote Danny Glover - "I'm too old for this sh*t!" :naughty:
Re: Every Chinese desktop computer must....
What is this nation's obsession with frantically refreshing folders? You've seen them do it i'm sure. Right click somewhere in the folder and hit refresh then repeat ad nauseum like a maniac. Why!!!
I must admit i'm a weixin/wechat whore. I know it's not good for me, i know they're stealing all my precious info, but frankly i don't care enough to remove it from my phone. I'd say roughly 50% of all communication i do on my phone is through wechat. Mixed feelings for sure but still keeping it.

If I plug a usb key into a work computer, when I later try to use it on my home machine Windows security goes apesh11. Really a pain in the ass as my two 8G drives have been rendered useless in windows 7 and I will either have to reformat them or only use them with win XP. I have no idea what viruses are running on my work network but they contain some very serious voodoo and that 360 Security they are running does not do poop!

360 Security is really just a placebo effect to make everyone think they're protected. LOL. I'm sure the government spies on all of us.

Lost count the number of times similar events have occured in the past. So much so that I uninstalled as much of the Ch!nese malware and bloatware as I could on my wifes desktop and the work computers. Even the work place (Ch!nese g0vernment) installed spyware to control all employees browsing habits during certain working hours etc. They wanted to do the same on my personal laptop that I used in my office which I used their internet connection. So I stopped using the connection which was a PITA. Recently this town has become WIFI capable and their are some deals from Ch!na-uincom and Ch!na-mobile that connects via a browser signin using a pre-allocated access code, password and provincial locale via WIFI access. A few of these are sold on Taobao at substantial savings that if buying direct from either Teleco. I'm now able to access the 'net' using my laptop WIFI and signin via the browser. Been using it for a couple of months and working well. So much so, I disconnected the work computers after buying some USB WIFI dongles and buying several of these Teleco WIFI accoutns via a Taobao seller. Uninstalled all the work installed spyware/control-ware... and running free, well as free as one can be in TIC. Next port of call is to buy a veepee N
