And m$$ demanding user hardware that’s flat out unavailable because chipset cash machine go brrrrrrr

Try startpage. It’s bliiissssss

At a time when less people than ever can afford new cars and they’ll have nothing to fill them with

Honestly at this point if i find a useful guide for something ii’m likely to need again in the future i just print it to pdf now. The ol’ habits developed back when things would get regularly TOSed return to good stead.

(Also i document by habit anyway)

Bud, i’ve spent 30 years in IT, a lot of it client facing. It’s not necessarily the internet, just plain human nature.

I mean the internet is probably not helping, jfgi became ubiquitous and now useless, and a lot of old school tech blogs either removed their content from AI or search engines just buried their shit in favour of marketing so people are kinda feeling like their crutches have been kicked out from under them.

I mean if they just admitted what they fucked up and asked if there was any way out, you’d be a lot kinder. But instead they just jam their dick in there fucking with shit they have no business touching then start screaming for everyone ELSE to fix it like they pay us to.

We really don’t tell these people to go fuck themselves enough.

I watched a guy use gemini to do a delicate system edit then melt down on Fb when he bricked his home automation system.

When people told him to stop using fckn gemini he started just blindly clinging to people and demanding answers from them instead (“I have three blinking yellow lights. What does that mean???”).

You can’t fix stupid desperation

Yes, because the #1 thing everyone wants to hear over and over is a voice saying “go to double u double u double u dot…”

This is the fucking 21st century if they could fix their shit on the internet they would have already done it.

Especially pisses me off when the only reason you’re calling them is because their website /portal / app explicitly went “you can’t do that here, call us”
