Kurotsuki no Yaergnacht - Vol. 5 Ch. 47 - bug and error shopping

[veneficae]

You guys are overlooking the most illogical part about the entire chapter, the 30 year old cpu displaying at a shop. She talking about it as if it's a valuable find when it's like the most useless thing to sell ever. It only makes sense if it's displayed at a museum since only hardcore collectors would even be able to make use of it.

Shes got ram!

Get her!!!

Not necessarily, she's into tech so finding something old(and rare-ish) would be a cool find. I bought an old GPU from my friend's wife when she was upgrading because it's an EVGA card. I have no use for a bottom-tier card from 10 or 12 years ago, but it's neat to have

Sam Altman wants to know her location.

She'd make a great gf ngl.

well, tbf, this is basically how it goes when I talk about pc stuff while fixing it for my grandparents. It is accurate for tech illiterate people lmao.

I would take that, but legit then pg.3 should have gone like “First up is the PC case, even without it the PC will boot, but to cut down on risk you end up needing it despite the cost. If you don’t get it, things would be super noisy anyway. Appearance-wise, anything goes, but easier cleaning is important. Then we have the CPU: a pretty crucial part followed by the RAM. I’ll tell you about HDD/SSD later.”

With this, the abbreviations and jargon flow into one another and make sense if you understand it because that level of basic knowledge makes getting the info out easier. Yet the snippets that make sense to someone who doesn’t know what any of it means are placed in spots that make it sound like they SHOULD know.

She talks about dust, risk of damage, specifies that the case is what should be easy to clean, expresses what CPU means twice to accommodate language, and explains that it would be the brain to a human. Those are all really good details and layperson level explanations despite the jargon.

Holy fuck the author is a complete normie boomer

You'd think breaking suspension of disbelief would be impossible in a work like this, but it hit like a train from hammer space (why is that a japanese trope btw)

It's probably PC-98 stuff. I'm not super knowledgeable on the topic but the type of PCs that dominated the Japanese market in the 80s and early to mid 90s were radically different than the IBM machines that eventually took over the global market, and the gaming scene on those machines was culturally significant. It's where the Touhou series got its start and Hideo Kojima's Policenauts was developed for.

12000 yen for a ram?
75 fucking dollar?
In this economy, should add another zero

When people are surprised by others' tech illiteracy regarding computers, I sometimes ask them if they can name the major components of their microwave, they both have a similar number of basic parts. For a lot of normies, a computer is basically a tool to them on the same level as their microwave, despite using both every day, they have as much interest in PC specs as they do microwave specs. So I don't really begrudge others tech illiteracy, after all, I too only have a basic idea of how my household appliances work despite using them so often and how common they are.

The microwave has its metal box (cavity if I recall correctly), a magnetron, a transformer, the keypad, and the turntable.

Its's not overwhelmingly difficult to know how the basic stuff in your house works.

Like persumably you know your washing machine has a drum a motor and a pump. Your furnace has a burner, a fan, some heat exchange tubes, the filter you need to replace. Your toilet has a reservoir with a float valve and a siphon that opens when you flush.

People with an engineering mindset would likely have a decent understanding of how a lot of things in their house work.

Ah, the good ol days before the Rampocalypse

Also obligatory Go fuck yourself Altman

Some guys could definitely name all the pieces of a car. But building one yourself is a totally different beast. =/

just like the other commenters said, you gotta be a straight up boomer to not know this shit (and also build your own pc's lol), cause even gen x is "modern" enough to have played video games and primarily used pc's for work etc.
like i know the rumors about jp always being 10 to 15 years behind in tech shit, but this guy is supposed to be gen z lmao

Plenty of asians don't even own desktop PC's. They just go to a PC cafe(aka. PC bang) to game or browse the net or whatever. They might have a thin and light device like a tablet or a basic laptop at home tho, but only relatively few would own a beefy PC for gaming or as a workstation. Consoles are more popular for home entertainment/gaming.

pc bang is strictly korean, but jp obviously has internet cafés. and nobody talked about OWNING them (exactly why i mentioned that even gen x WORKS with them), just that gen x to gen z should KNOW what a fucking pc case is lol

Unless this manga is going to claim that she is Alan Turing she did not invent modern computers.

You see, she’s the one who came up with the idea that PC should have be in some kind of recipient instead of exposed to the air to protect them from dust.
(nah but more seriously, him failling to understand the concept of a PC case was a really stupid thing. My mom is a boomer that probably don’t know what ram is and she still vaguely understand the concept of "there is a box around the componant of the pc so that it’s not exposed to everything". Fuck I gifted her a fairphone, she have a toe in pc building now.)
