    The whole history of this meme is a tired Boomer-tier joke. It's 9gag material at this point.

    Yeah I am GenX, and it's me & the kid who is GenZ are tech support in my family, she is by far my most technologically adept offspring. One millennial kid is hopeless, says "technology hates me", the other just a low-technology sort of person, but fine with computer for work. And the youngest expects everything to just work, which seems to work out for them. Husband is culturally a boomer, LOL but also just expects everything to work, but it doesn't work out as well for him.

    Only the GenZ one likes to mess with the computer and likes to know how to fix problems, and she is our pirate as well, the mistress of forbidden content - if something is not on the streaming she can often find it for us.

    This is the "Nobody who isn't a Boomer knows how to fix a car" tier meme material. Just a tired lie that keeps getting recycled as a meme because it's clickbait for the snobs.

    I'm like this these days, too! Absolutely annoyed (in a funny way, but still...!) by internet drama LOL.

    Thanks! Bye!

    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.

    Unfortunately, I can't find anything that really matches my statement, but I recall seeing it somewhere.

    Based on what I could find, the generations are made up demographics with no real actual definitive delineation. Too many sources can't agree on where one starts and the other ends.

    If you buy an arduino dev board it'll come with the bootloader already installed, so you just install the ide, install the driver if you':re usingc windows, plug in the board, press upload and you're done?

    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.
