Yeah, I’m pretty sure I could do it, but I would need to look up the steps. Already knowing how to do tech stuff is one thing, but below that are people like me that are comfortable following guides. It seems a lot of people aren’t.
Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoDoes it count if I have to google which key to hold down to enter the boot menu or bios every time? There are 12 function keys and esc.

This is where i sit. I know shit on my own, but i know how to look it up. I managed to do the transfer from Windows Linux Mint and have been able to navigate the bumps in the process via Google and trying to get a halfway decent idea about some very basic concepts. Now i am moving on and am trying to get rid of all Tech Companies that bend their knee to fascism. And that works as well, without being a tech savvy person.

I would argue that being willing to learn qualifies you as a tech savvy person, even if not as much as people that are really accomplished at it.

Yes. You are part of the one percent.

That still counts. I have 25 years in IT and I’m still surprised by every new machine. F2? Why?

Fucking real! F10&f12 ftw. it can’t be that hard to enforce a simple standard! HDMI is a good example of this.
