Allow me to add my countertop dishwasher. It has a control panel, of course it does, and you start it that way. Why would an app be needed?

Come to Linux. I uninstalled that reminder thing.

That's Reddit.

The fact that this also happens to enough other people that there is a meme...

Ahyep. This sums up Microsoft. Imagine buying anything besides a computer, and the manufacturer pops over with adaptations. That gorgeous sofa you bought is now in plaid. That shirt now has snaps instead of buttons. I bought a computer, but I have no control over what the manufacturer can, and will, do to it.

Except she gives him the cookie at the end. To really relate to software, she would have given him the cookie first before she said anything to him.

Should have applied and called their bluff

Oh, if only...

Forget the magnet, pin it up with a push pin through the little hole in the corner.

Oh it was good at finding problems. Of course it could never fix anything

Post a photo of a floppy disc, then ask me how old I am.

Excluded again

That one made me literally Laugh Out Loud!

Funny, most young people I know know nothing about how tech works. I've seen the kids in my son's school WhatsApp docs to each other but unable to figure out how to save it to their laptop or print it. I am Gen X and worked with a computer before IT departments were a thing so yep, gimme a moment and I will figure it out.

And then you rewrite one line of code and everything works and you still don't know why!

Now pull...

Oh dear.

I have had to opportunity (rarely) to give advice to a young person about career paths... I always tell them to learn a trade (or several). Welding, electrician, A/C maintenance and repair, masonry, sheet-rocking, carpentry, painting, construction framing. Any job that CAN NOT be done remotely. You can work for yourself, you can work for others, you can work forever if you like. Many of the contractor I hire for household maintenance have more work than they can handle and make 100+ an hour and have retired from having to work regular hours.

😅😺

The Egyptian hieroglyphics on the screen - 😄

And don't ask a woman her salary or a man his age either.

What I hate about any MS office program is that one little thing stops working and you have to Google it and try 550 different things to fix it (if you bother after finding out how many things you have to try). SOOOOOOO annoying!!!

Sure! That desk cost as much as the CPU tower!

Your washing machine is a part of a ddos attack group

I miss those days.

Lesbin?

Looks don't matter -people who got through junior high English.

Why wouldn't they?

I actually use this fact to my advantage. We don't have "best buy" in my country but I'm assuming it's a cheap electronic market. Every time my husband and I need to buy a new piece of tec the sales person will talk automatically to my husband, assuming as a woman I don't know anything. And I let the sales person talk and see if he knows anything and at some point I will start to ask very detailed in depth tech questions. The confusion is always high and they look at my husband and he just shrugs, "yeah, she is the expert. If you can't answer this question, do you have a sales person who can?" I always hope that I at least make one sales person reflect on their sexism.

He should be smiling in the last panel.

Of course, the absence of the little angled arrow in the icon's lower left corner (that would indicate a shortcut) is just a wee bit suspicious...

Eeeeevil.

Huh. I went from Dairy Farmer to Windows Server Administrator.

No prompts then? Or are they copied too?

I just got an email regarding a job opportunity with an "Enterprise Cyber Defense Infrastructure" outfit. They want an admin for their Windows 2003 / 2008 / 2012 Active Directory Domains. (What's wrong with this picture?)
