Nearly every time.... when will the 'consumer base' learn?
Many people are weirdly helpless about computers. If you've ever tried to help someone with tech, you've probably encountered the
Kind of user.
You forgot the know-it-all dude, that infact, doesn't know anything.
Or the "pc handyman".
Me: "Why does your motherboard have a ...uh... sheen and smell like WD40?"
PC Handyman: "Well it was running slow so I greased it."
I wish that were not a true story.
couldve atleast used isopropyl alcohol
what
"I used to work in IT you know" often gets followed by "what's a browser tab?"
I once had a caller claim he was one of the dudes that invented the internet. I was like ... well you certainly haven't kept up with things since then...
I usually see the reverse. People who work with computers making every effort NOT to need to help.
My favorite is a friend who does techsupport for a datacenter. He always asks "wait, this computer you're having trouble with, can you lift it? Would you say it's smaller than your fridge? Oh, sorry, then I can't help you"
I haven't troubleshot windows in years. I fix switches, firewalls, Linux, and some mac issues.
Its like I can't fix a BMW or Audi but can still work on other cars.
My friend doesn't know his linux password, and can't download anything without it. But he is too impatient to figure out how to reset it. While I am stubborn and will sit at my computer till i fix an audio issue, or any problem I have.
is this real? how long has he not known his password for? is it autologin?
Yes it is real, and I think it is auto login. Idk anything about Linux. He just downloads everything via a program called Discover. I never asked which Linux distro he was using.
I am very sure he's just installing flatpaks, it's likely kde's discover. Still he could just enter their boot from a live boot and chroot into the OS and do passwd (user) to change any password I believe unless it's encrypted or sumthing which would probably not let you autologin in the first place.
It looks like kde's discover. He is too lazy to fix it himself, and I don't know how to tell him how.
They are on the steam deck. They might have told me that before, but I forgot. They reminded me again today.
But it is confusing. The store doesn't offer java/jre. I was trying to play RSC with him, and required it.
Yes, but it's the sheer volume of incognizant users that causes me this concern. It's the same group that will be mislead to psychosis through AI interactions in the near future
I mean when they keep getting issues they'll either learn or stop using computers. And then new helpless people will come.
