>>53300628
I don't know, but I guess they wouldn't respect free speech or your opinion.
If somebody would report you for it, they would delete it, I guess.
That's how 80% germans work.
They would also imply a lot.

Isn't this kinda true? If you put a plant next to a wireless router, it'll die. Bluetooth relies on the same method of connection that wireless connection does afaik.

The experiment that your are talking about was done by 15 year old school girls. No peer reviewed evidence, Nothing solid. The media is just blowing it out proportion. Now I'm not saying wifi can't be harmful, I just saying that there isn't enough evidence to say so.

I don't get it? CPU was a common name for a desktop before flatscreens were a thing.

A lot of people were confused by CRTs and the desktop. It's not like everyone had computers then.

Okay guys, first time greentexting a story, be gentle.

>Be me in 2015
>Work in large national company
>Rolling out new pcs floor by floor with my IT team
>See tall guys waving madly at me in panic
>He shouts out across the floor "MY INTERNET HAS DISAPPEARED!"
>Walk over there very slowly hopping he will have "fixed" it when I arrive
>Got there and he repeats "MY INTERNET HAS DISAPPEARED!" still shouting
>I open IE and type google.com and it opens up
>He still shouting says "OH WOW I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD TYPE IN THE INTERNET!"
>Try to walk away but he grabs my arm and shouts yet again "NO WAIT MY INTERNET IS STILL NOT THERE!"
>He is pointing to his internet history now
>I explain that it's a new PC and his history is gone for good
>He shouts "AH THATS OK I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT" excitedly
>He gets a binder from the shelf above his desk, flicks to a page and heads the footer which is an address and types it in
>"ITS WORKING" he shouts, I ask what's up with all the binders above his desk
>"I HAVE PRINTED THE INTERNET" he shouts proudly, "I GOT THE INTERNET ALL BACKED UP!"
>I look at all the many binders above his desk as I start walking away backwards and give him the thumbs up(it's better not to talk too much with these people)

Now whenever we have problems with the interwebs we always shout out, "Don't Worry I've Got The Internet All Backed Up!"

Yeahhhh CPU isn't correct but would not want to be around you when you hear this shit:

>router
>hard drive
>brain
>modem

I have seen people use these words when they are pointing to a tower. Hard drive is bad enough but router/modem isn't even the right room of the office

>>53304230
Thankfully don't need to work tech support anymore but people freak the FUCK out big time when their homepage is changed from malware. The AV will take the malware out and restore the homepage but this freaks people. THE. FUCK. OUT. Like, let me point out the exact moment people go from 0-"FUCK".

>meh internet is dead
>get remoted in, obviously it isn't
>Soooo.... let me open your browser.
>ITS STILL BROKEN
>I think you were expecting it to go to a certain page. How about msn?
>YES IT WAS MSN
>go to top and type msn.com and hit enter
>Literally screaming as loud as they can: "AM I GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Jesus christ, I'm going to set it to your homepage. But if you did, did you honestly not know you can type in your homepage address at any time? No, they always just hit the home button and think it is some magic website or some shit.
>>
since my story was about websites here's another classic one, again will never have to deal with this sort of shit again.

>get call
>"INTERNET ISN'T WORKING"
>after 15 minutes of detective work remotely figure out it's just some website
>mmkay so you need to call that company that owns it
>...Can't you just change it and make it work?

First off, if I could just change websites as I pleased, I would be worth a trillion dollars. Second, if every company's IT department could magically change websites the internet would explode every 10 seconds.

I know why they ask this and it's because they equate everything that is on their screen to be the computer somehow. If they went on a website, that is on "their computer" and since I fix "their computer" they assume I can control a website because it is on "their computer".
>"UGH YOU NEVER HELP ME WHEN I NEED IT"

We used to have some rich clients and I would offer to call on their behalf if they could give me the account number, property information, whatever the fuck the website they were trying to get to does, so they "don't try to weasel their way out of it by hurling computer acronyms at them". The answer was always, "I don't want to give you that information". So how the fuck am I supposed to help you? I don't give a flying fuck about your irrelevant secret data. That's another fucking paradox these losers throw at you. I once had to "fix" this dumb fuck's problem and she was holding her fucking hand over the excel spreadsheet which paradoxically had the issue but it was "sensitive information". And it was like a cartoon game of clue where I have to divine what she did to see what was left out but we're in this quantum situation where I have to both know and not know what the text looks like. This reminds me of the guy who sent his professor a video tape of a program failing. How the FUUUUUUUUUCK do you expect me to respond?

I tried to explain to a user once that the thrill of being able to read literally everyones mailbox dulls about 5 minutes into the first day when you realise everything everyone sends is either naked pictures of themselves or catpics, or inane "FUCK YOU TOM, YOU RUINED MY WORK AGAIN!"-complaints, not to mentions it's hard keeping up with the thousand new mail every day while trying to fix borked shit elsewhere.

The person responded with, "but aren't you wizards?"

I get router or modem because their at least have a related function. But hard drive? Brain? How dumb are the people that say this?

This. It's mostly people seeking validation that their 1000+ dollar machine is definitely better than everyone else's. I feel like this community is trying to figure things out by asserting opinions at each other instead of having any knowledge in the first place. The brand loyalty and the cognitive dissonance constantly going on on this board is insanely cringey.
