Well, all storage is memory, and all memory is storage. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage "Primary storage (also known as main memory or internal memory), often referred to simply as memory..." "Secondary storage (also known as external memory or auxiliary storage)..." Primary storage is what enthusiasts usually call "memory," and secondary storage is what enthusiasts usually call "storage." These terms are correct, but one could flip them the other way around and still be correct. I find this irritatingly confusing.

[@asherael]

Even the source you cited (never cite wikipedia) states that memory is generally called "memory" while storage is usually called "storage" but that some people don't adhere to that standard. the words have meaning even if people don't bother to learn it or use language carefully enough to convey what they're trying to talk about.

[@asherael]

It's not a primary source. Use it to find some if you like, or get a background understanding, or to learn common errors or cultural consensus, but it's not a primary source, and it's not research.

All the professors at work: There is a problem with my computer Me: What version of Windows is it running ? Professor : Yes it has Windows on it Me: Ok, but like Windows 7, 8 or 10 ? Professor : Yes it has windows on it

[@ViolinIliev]

Well, my uncle wants me to remote desktop to his Windows 7 laptop and install Windows 10, because someone told him it's better. And he's unable to understand why I can't re-install the OS while I'm logged in and that Windows 10 is actually going to cost 200$. And then he refuses to accept that you can spend half the price of the computer on software... I'm in the US, he's in Spain. How the hell am I suppose to install Windows 10 remotely? o_O

[@tiavor]

I bought w10pro for $20 ... and you can remote install it, but it is challenging but possible. you need a fully automated/silent installer and package the remote software in it.

[@stackflow343]

me: "ok does the issue happen when you're browsing the internet, or just at idle, or anytime you're busy on it?" them: "yes" what.

[@core36]

give him a step by step guide via a phone call. i'm sure that he can do it and will not do anything that he was not supposed to do. ... who am i going to fool. you those people that call you, asking what is wrong with their pc and if you tell them that they need to reboot or finally close and reopen all those browser tabs, they're like "nah bro i don't think that's it" and you try everything you could and they are like "wtf you are so bad" and you just rage and shut those damn tabs and shut down the pc and they are like "wtf staaaaap" and you reboot the pc and just reopen all the tabs and everything works and they are like "i could have done that" and you just want to smack the pc against their heads and the don't understand why you don't want to help them anymore!

"My phone provider gives me 1GB of storage per month."

[@noahgarcia7599]

One of my friends thought iCloud gave your phone more storage

[@Dargonhuman]

Spectrum Well, it *technically* does in the same way a removable or external drive gives your computer more storage; it's not integrated storage, but it does give you the flexibility of saving data elsewhere to free up storage on your main device.

[@Embattled5211]

I just hate how phone providers have forced the idea of a 'gig' into everyone's minds. I am waiting for the day when all the plans switch from 2 GigaBYTEs to 10 GigaBITs, which is really 1.25 GigaBYTEs.

[@Darkerfoxtech]

groundzero_0506 Yeah because everyone knows you use power shell for hacking. While technically you can use cmd for rooting around. Power shell is much more in tune with scripts. although I has a small .com that I wrote to bypass local Windows logins for recovery.

I don't get your point. You can state your up/down speed in either MB or Mb.

[@kitsunekid16]

Another thing is when people will think that with just a router, they can get wifi. I ask them who their isp, as some have restrictions, and the don't know what isp is so I ask them who provides their internet and they say "no one, that's why we're here" and I have to explain that they have to pay for Internet and that a router does not give them free Internet. Then they proceed to ask me which router will give them the cheapest Internet. 😵😵

[@deloreancowboy]

Well. Technically you can get wifi from just a wireless router. You just won't be able to get online without a modem.

[@dylanhodder1084]

@@deloreancowboy This! So many tech illiterate people think that Wi-Fi means Internet. No, it isn't. Wi-Fi is a technology used to communicate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP). You can have Wi-Fi but still not have access to the Internet.

To be honest they can look pretty similar, depeding on which color the SIM is, and which formfactor you've seen.
