Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber
AeroGlen@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoOnce upon a time I worked for a company where I would be called with requests like “I can’t work because my computer is broken”. I would go and ask “Where is your computer” and the employee would point to her monitor. I would then press the power button on the monitor and they looked at me like I was a magician. I would point to the actually PC under the desk and say “btw THIS is your computer” and they would stare with confusion and disbelief.

Ha! That’s funny because I have a department here with some real… Non thinkers who do the same stuff. They’ll come in, one monitor doesn’t come on. Normal computer stuff. Especially with docking stations. I power cycle the monitor and it comes right on. They swear they did that and that I must just have the magic touch. I even ask them before I walk over whether theyve done that and they are adamant that they did.
I just dont get it. Surely my value in this world is not limited to making sure people get the right authenticator app and pressing monitor power buttons. Smdh.
