Pc gaming is kinda bringing gen z and alpha back to the light. RGB is how the get you and before you know it you're watching pewdepie's guide to installing Linux and custom android roms.

I'm quite optimistic about the computing future tbh! With LLM helping with troubleshooting the field should be much more accessible for anyone willing to learn.

And again, generation X completely forgotten about.

And immediately after we turned the computer on/off and get it working they will post how millennials are weak because we drink ice coffee and go to yoga.

I know enough Millennials who don't know shit. "My email address is www...."

There are some parts of Gen Z that can actually tear stuff apart and actually fix systems, but those are the nerds (which also includes me) that care enough to actually learn stuff. The majority is quite tech illiterate

Not all of Gen Z are tech illiterate. Some of us used computers before iPads and smartphones. I used Windows XP and 7 long before I ever got a smartphone.

Well I don't know... I worked with boomers who first built out the internet in my country. Now they mostly retired, but the Gen-Xers who remain are also incredible.

My dad who's also a boomer and an anesthesiologist got admin rights at the hospital he worked at because he helped everyone around with their computer troubles and the tech support trusted him and were happy he reduced their ticket load.

Maybe you guys just know the wrong people.

Just ask an AI to fix it.

YOUR COMPUTER NEEDS AN RTX 5090 SUPER RUNNING THE SKYNET CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICE TO WORK PROPERLY.

Easy

Am i a rare GenZ or do i just hang around with unicorns because we are all active in IT. Me programming nog hardware but still

Ok but what about Gen X?

To my fellow Gen X’ers…

Shhh!

Let someone else deal with the inept on the other end of the phone. Be happy we’re being ignored again.

Good damn it they forgot about us again. This is exactly why they call us Generation X!

Gen X - who, let's face it, wrote most of this stuff - gets forgotten again.

But I'm Generation Z and I have to update my mom's Linux Mint laptop because she can't pay attention when I show her.

Let's be fair, we millennial know how to fix stuff because stuff still can be fixed. We can glance back one generation away and learn about how stuff work back then, and also learn how to fix those stuff. Nowadays stuff aren't meant to be fixed, (late) gen z doesn't have thing to start tearing apart and learn about the inner working of stuff, because it's all glued/snapped together, with the culture being once broke just toss.

lol. My dad’s a retired engineer and my mom was a computer programmer. Literal actual baby boomers.

I work in IT. Gen-X. Which you forgot because you’re bad.

My daughter just got her degree in Cybersecurity. Millennial.

tl;dr: STFU with this stupid inter-generational tribalism, it’s wrong and stupid.

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 :(

Gen X invented the fucking tech from discrete 7400 logic.

I'm actually, genuinely shocked by the ageism in such debates every single time. There's no such thing as age-based incompetence, TBH. There are sound people for every field available everywhere. Why do we have to assume this? Every generation has at least a few people who are competent in their field, even in computing. It's more important that the literate of us unite to end illiteracy and stop injustice being done in the name of technology. This, honestly, is just making fun of each other, for apparently no sound reason. And I'm talking about the comments, not the meme. I might, or not, get some sour disagreements, or straight-up very bitter replies for arguing even this, ...and again, I ask: Do we reeaaally have to do this?

Technology too has a supposed duty of bringing people together...!
