    i figured gen z would start fixing my computer once i hit my current age (41); turns out i dont know any gen z’s that understand how computers work.

    im really tired of being everyone’s tech support :(

        i did the world a favor and decided to not have kids. sadly, this also means i am unable to hand down a generation’s worth of computer knowledge, heh.

      It’s funny how bubbles can change so much. In my personal experience, most Gen Z people know their way around computers and how to fix stuff. I regularly help my millennial sister with stuff like that.

        No generally Gen z is not afraid of tech but doesn’t know how it works.

      I am Gen Z, I can copy paste commands from online forums into the terminal, then proceed to fuck shit up. 🫠

      (Don’t ask me to type commands from memory, I’d rather use windows spyware than deal with command line torture)

        This is how I am for the part (including most people who aren’t computer enthusiasts or CS degree holders). I know my limits on what I am willing to do with command lines because I don’t have time to memorize all that shit.
