Good thing my parents respect on what I'm doing to help them like this.
This video is going to give me an aneurism
Ugh, i came here for silly stories not to hear my day to day interactions be thrown at me. Haha
Thank God my dad is an IT guy
“My dad called me a twat because I opened a new tab”
I laughed at that for far longer than I should’ve
This just reminds me of everyone in my family….Fuck.
Ok, time to commit suicide, I guess…
Not really related to this specific subject, but there as something that my mom said that was really stupid.
So, I was sitting the car and the topic of videogames came up. My mom mentioned that she had seen an 18+ version of fortnite bundled with a PS4 and that it was a "new version". So, I keep on saying that the developers would never release an 18+ version of the game as too many kids play fortnite at the moment l. But no, my mom, the boomer that she is, swears blind that she saw fortnite bundled with a PS4 being sold as an 18+ bundle. Then, in the most smug voice ever, she says "well, you say you're too old for fortnite (which I dont) and how are the people who made the game going to bring people back in? Bu making it bloody and gory". So obviously I start questioning my moms mental state and IQ and say "mom, too many kids play it, I've already said this", and of course, she kept going on about how I was wrong and we eventually stopped.
For me:do not press the huge red button that says format all.*before i finish*client presses button.
Lol both my parents work in IT, I have never experienced this
Pebcac pebcac nothing but pebcac
once tried to fix a broken printer in the office, tried to jerry rig the stuff back to life because hey, it can't get anymore broken than it is right now, so why not? failed at resurrecting the thing. get blamed for breaking the stuff. smh.
This makes me feel so lucky that my parents know at least the basics…
I'm so glad my parents are more laid back and willing to listen. They've actually learned quite a bit mostly for their jobs, as neither is interested much in the world of computers beyond that and occasionally surfing YouTube for songs that I make a playlist out of for them. However, they recently googled a recipe for dinner that turned out great and I was proud of them. Is this stupidly easy and probably a silly thing to be proud of for your parents? Yes. But considering the fact my mother use to get extremely nervous just getting on to look at her email in the beginning, I consider it a win. Especially after listening to these horror stories.
So thanks mom and dad, for being willing to learn new things no matter how old you are.
A Principle at our firm had a Skype meeting invite sent to them. Instead of just clicking on the link in the invite, no, had to use OUR account to contact them because that's how it works and wanted to know their "skype phone #". Principle gets frustrated easily when meetings are delayed because of said "illiteracy", though it's always the computer's fault or our fault or anyone but theirs. After unsuccessfully trying for a minute to just get them to click the invite link in the email, I told them I clearly wasn't needed and walked out of the conference room. The Principle said I was being rude. For context, I'm the one they always come to because I have the "miraculous skill" of standing next to their "broken" machine and it just starts working. So much so that they even threatened that if they found me dead at work they'd just cut off parts to put next to their computers so they always worked. great
So copying a news article then copying it again into a pdf and emailing it to herself and then forwarding to someone else is less complex than copy and paste?
My mom still thinks Youtube vids can give you viruses i must admit i am not very computer savvy either but as far i know i dont think this is very likely.
So I was in IT lesson with my class.
We didn't use WiFi but rather, we use the ethernet cable that are connected from a router. The thing is, whenever a computer wasn't getting a connection, the students will just say, "WiFI is down" bitch could you just check the ethernet cable if it's plugged or not? Also, we never had permission for computer to use WiFi in school. Please don't use the term incorrectly.
I have to stop halfway… this video is bad for my health
“you broke it!”
I got into a fight with another teacher I work with because I changed the speaker output settings to show the students a video. He spent 2 hours trying to "fix it" rather then tell me because he aas too proud to just ask for help. He then proceeded to yell at me for wasting his time. I had to write detailed step-by-step instructions – things like" right click the volume icon". He then comes back and was even more pissed because he didn't know what an icon was. 🤦♂️
"8 yEARS AGO "
bruh
My boss asked me to fix his crappy 10 year old laptop with god knows how much malware and popups on it, i said he should just get a new computer, i offered him my old one for £40, instead he went out and bought a £1800 laptop that is barely much better than the one i offered him…
My friend wanted help attaching a monitor to his laptop. I agree, and go over to his house. I attach the monitor, and tell him it’s attached.
Me : Ok, there you go. I set it to do screen mirroring.
Him: Great, so my computer will run faster now?
Me : What? No, it’s just a monitor.
Him: What’s the point then?
When people call the internet connection "WiFi" like when the internet is down and someone says "The WiFi is down" no bitch, the WiFi is up, there just isnt an internet connection…
Minecraft is lagging because of our wifi and how shitty it is
Doctor: Midway through a surgery
Random person: smacks the patient with a bat multiple times
“Trust me I know what I’m doing”
I love this one at 11:55 where this guy praises his professional attitude. Anyone who says they are professional is an immature scumbag.
Got my dad a new HP laptop for his birthday. He had completely destroyed his old one & did need a computer, but I knew things would go south fast. Still, he asked, so I got him one.
I’m not an expert on anything computer related, but I offered to set things up for him, install security, Microsoft Office, set up printer & such since I’m still better at it than him. He refused, naturally, insisted he’d been using computers longer than I had been alive, so I could not know more than him.
2 hours later:
He tries to install Microsoft Home Office. Creates a Microsoft account. Forgets the password. So he couldn’t download Microsoft Office.
Googles free Windows protection, clicks on as many links as he can, installs everything he can.
Then claims I had bought him a defective computer & needed to get him a refund ASAP, because he couldn’t remember his email password either.
I take over & set up everything for him, clear as much junk as I can & hand it back.
About a week later, I notice the hinges on the lid of the thing are cracked/popped out where he had lost patience & smashed it shut too hard. Also tea & biscuit crumbs everywhere between the keys, some of which are now on upside down.
Whatever dad, I gave you the receipt, your problem now 😑
For Christmas from me, he’s getting an abacus, spiral-bound notebook & pencil. More “user friendly,” I hope. Certainly cheaper
This type of stuff makes my blood boil
What really sucks is Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 going out of their way to fucking hide the control panel. The thing you use to actually fix half the problems that crop up in Windows. Windows Settings is just bullshit stupidity that they need to abandon like they did their Metro UI miscarriage. I systematically install Open Shell on every windows 8, 8.1, and 10 server I interact with. It is now a compulsion. I can't fucking stand their attempts to improve a UI by hiding things from the users.
I dont have a tech background other than being an old zoomer and growing up in a technological era, but I have no fucking clue what old people do to their computers. I was helping a neighbor get his old go pro updated, and for the life of me could not figure it out. I right clicked the file and couldn't get the unzip option. (I should add he has bad eyesite so his screen is zoomed like 300% and that made things interesting too lol) After about an hour of dicking around trying to fix his computer and bugging go pro tech support I just said "Can I just try this out on my laptop at home real quick". Took the stuff, went home, followed on site instructions again, was able to unzip the file, and bam, worked. Whole process took 10 minutes from his door to fixed. Really cooperative dude, super cool, talked to him for a while about his time in Vietnam as a chopper pilot, I could tell he was semi computer literate, it's just weird how old people will occasionally do something to make their computer really fucky.
7:51 reminded me of a story where a computer tech told someone over the phone, "if i get there and it's a really simple problem anyone can fix in seconds, i'm still going to charge you an hour's service fee."
they agreed.
the problem? printer not connected to network. ten second fix.
and the last reminded me of another story:
-tech: "click on (something)."
-user: "i don't have that."
-tech: "it's not on your computer at ALL?"
-user: "no."
-tech: "then you have a VERY serious problem and you will have to bring your computer into the shop and pay-"
-user: "-oh, NOW i see it."
this. repeats. for. every. single. thing. the. tech. says. to. click. on!
Family computers are bs….just gonna leave it here that family computers are just bs
