Remember laws of mathematics doesn't apply to Malcolm Turnbull

>instructions are written on the screen
>"user can you do it for me?"

This isn't illiteracy this is propaganda.

Good point, actually.

Pretty sure these are written that way on purpose.

Proof that linux kills college students futures.

i've seen people so bad at computers, adware on their machines put ads on local hosted websites they're trying to develop

Only a few years ago I had to show my father how to pay with a debit card at a store and then I got him set up with telephone banking. He only just got a flip phone. He's a pretty Gruff old school guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

It astounds how Sup Forums is somehow able to continuously reach new levels of stupid.

I've dealt with some pretty mentally deficient people in my time

Also my parents call me up just about every other weekend saying that their various devices aren't working. 99.9% of the time this is due to them accidentally signing out and not being able to follow simple prompts to sign back in or being unwilling to unplug something and plug it back in.

They use the "we're middle-aged, so we cant be expected to know this stuff" excuse but I've explained it to them, quite literally, hundreds of times and plugging something in or signing in doesnt require any tech knowledge at all. They're just lazy and stupid. If I tell them how to do it, they just complain and refuse to learn. If I refuse to do it, they get pissy and mean and bitch at me about it constantly.

The next time I'm asked to make an hour round trip to just unplug and replug their printer, I'm going to flip my shit.
