Yeah?

You don't have to be born from '46 to '64 to be a boomer, you have to act like a boomer to be a boomer. Being fed a boomer media/social diet growing up tends to make people grow up into boomers.

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

You're conflating and confusing a term that has existed since the 60's to describe a time span, with complex societal, economical effects on peoples mindset today.

Your inability to describe and explain the things you want to argue is the issue. Repeating the word again and again is not helping.

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

Same. My older brother got scammed by the "hello this is paypal. Your account got hacked." Eventhough i told him to hang up and that it is a scam

Literally explained to you, but sure I'm unable to explain.

Okay boomer.

Shh, we get to be anonymous, tech literate and be able to buy our own houses.

And again, generation X completely forgotten about.

You are rare and these stereotypes are mostly false. Most people in every generation can’t fix a computer. Maybe the only slight echo of truth is that during the millennial childhood and youth, at least in terms of raw numbers, home computers peaked as the main “tech” children were exposed to, so there might be a little more people who are not professionals, but have some extra comfort with them. Still, that’s a stretch.

You said the word boomer 6 times and you think that makes you look smart. Boomer means boomer, what a genius.

Shhh - let the Millennials do it, they need the validation, and most of us need a nap.

Napping. Wake me up when September ends.

Computers themselves are still pretty fixable.

We’re the fucking figure it out generation, son.

You're the throw it out the window and buy a new one materialist generation, gramps.

Anyone can get scammed, they just have to get you with your guard down.

And when it arrives it turns out you need a new computer as well. Also it's lacking some features you need, and it has some new features nobody asked for. Also fixing it became much harder and doing so can get you to jail.

I just wanted to generate a simple pulse from a switch press. Needless to say since I needed a breadboard anyway, I just popped in a 74LS123 with a resistor and a capacitor.
I couldn't even begin to understand what I needed to get that pulse from an Arduino. And I used to program PICs bare metal.
It's like the complexity traded places. On the PIC, the tools and process are dead simple. But writing the code for the little monsters required understanding every opcode and peripheral and how they interact.
It looks like on the Arduino, I can just type sleep(5000) but to set up the whole thing to get there is where the complexity lies.

Where did Gen X go?

And duct tape is silver

as a software engineer who didnt go to college, i am not talking about programming; i have peers at work who have a masters degree in CS who know nothing about computers.

i'm talking about troubleshooting problems and fixing them by telling your boomer aunt what to do over a video call when her keyboard makes her computer too slow for her cat to read her favorite comic when she presses the "G" key.
