I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
Not that dumb. Helpdesk just gives survivorship bias.
The people smart enough to realize modems don’t work during outage don’t call as often.
Except for “can you hack my ex’s facebook” ones. Those are constant for some reason.
No. They are actually that dumb, mate.
I’ve never worked Helpdesk. I have just dealt with the general public routinely throughout my life. Goddamn, it might be just the state I live in but the people here are fucking stupid. Consistently.
Remember, there are also just dumb people who never call because they don’t interact with a computer to such an extent that they ever run into problems they need to call about. Those people are as tech literate as a rock and they are everywhere.
Hey now, don’t be dissing rocks. We can trick rocks into thinking, the people on the other hand I’m not so sure.
This gave me a good chuckle. I needed that. Thanks mate.
Very dumb. Half the population is below average intelligence.
