The way we handle a computer is that we don’t have to mess with our gear. We can get the gear you need, or we can turn it on.
The same goes for the PC we put together the other day. We can get it together, or we can turn it on. If we don’t know how to do something, we shouldn’t have to. If we’re not sure where to put the computer, it’s best to turn it on.
This point is often overlooked by the techies. A lot of stuff can be a lot easier to mess with without the need of a computer. For instance, just turning the computer on in a room just turns on the AC, which is pretty easy to do. You dont have to mess with screws, you dont have to mess with connectors, you dont have to mess with cables, you dont have to mess with anything.
The best way to check a computer for a loose cable and a loose connector is to stick it on the table and then sit it on a desk with the monitor on it. This is a bit of a pain, but it’s better than trying to do it yourself.
So the setup of the computer is really important. When I first started working at this company, I was told that we had to have the computer running Windows 98 or better. It turns out that was the case, but that didn’t stop me from running it. I’d just plug it in and it wouldn’t turn on. The computer didn’t turn on, the AC didn’t turn on, the power didn’t turn on.
I think it was a switch on the PC motherboard that was malfunctioning. One of those ‘blinking’ things.
Like I said, the computer is important as it handles everything that goes on inside your home. The computer needs to be up to date, the power is important because the AC needs to be on, and you need to get the computer to work.
I’m not really a fan of this design. It’s too simple. It’s too small. It’s too narrow. It’s too tall. It’s not designed to make it easier for someone like myself who is tall and thin and in that awkward “waist.” The other thing I really don’t like is the way that it’s placed in the room that the AC connects to.
They did all of that in a room that is pretty much the size of the room where they installed the AC.
This looks like a bad design choice too. I don’t know why they laid out the power in the center of the room like this, unless they didn’t think it was important. The power is located on the back of the computer, which means the AC will be on the front of the computer. That’s also the kind of thing I do, and I would like to be able to have the AC on the front of the computer, not on the back of it.
