For when you don’t actually want to damage the prop, so you kick it in away that no human has ever kicked anything ever before.
I still sport my old Think Geek T-Shirt: ‘No I Will Not Fix Your Computer’ to family functions.
The IT guy plight is real.
“Haha that shirt is funny. Anyway I have this brand new 7 year old HP laptop and suddenly it’s all sluggish and when I try to open another chrome tab it freezes for a few minutes.”
My objection is the fact that it’s always the technophones that seem to have the most complicated technical issues. Like my mother who managed to uninstall the driver for the embedded fingerprint reader in her laptop,
Gotta update the back with
“And neither the printer will get fixed”
Shoot
First me then the printer
Printer first. Let the guy die with some sense of satisfaction. What are we? Monsters?
Its a WiFi inkjet printer you say? You haven’t used it in six months you say?
Please Shoot!
My inkjet is elite. It will do a perfect nozzle check several days in a row, then when I actually need to print something the next day, the black is clogged.
Mine would always refuse to print this black and white texture again because it was out of magenta.
He looks like he works in IT.
I used to work as it support and i still have nightmares from the customers’ printer problems.
Eh I never minded. I preferred printer problems. Fixing the default printing source made me cool. Downloading a driver or pointing a user to the right network printer made me a hero. Replacing a roller or a fuser so the printer stopped jamming elevated me to legendary. Much more relaxing then fixing someone’s janky SQL “formula” because their “excel is broken.”
Except the myriad of protocols and driver issues. Contemporary printer is, how you should not have implenented it, just because it was done like that in the 70s.
Seriously, why does my PC need to know how that piece of curses has to handle a pdf?
Yup. “My excel is broken” is nightmare stuff. Fixing a printer can be as easy as unjamming some paper or replacing a toner cartridge.
And when it‘s really bad, you at least know that you for real can‘t do anything and have to wait for replacement parts or a technician. So no procrastination about how to fix it while you should be doing other things.
Looking at printers is how I got into tech maintenance
