    I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe the IT manager in question has used Linux for so long they’re just used to .tar files?

    But damn. How tf do you not know what a zip file is

    Reminds me of a professor I had, required assignments to be emailed to him in .zip folder.

    He then couldn't fucking open the folder, which surprised the fuck outta me really. Took like 3 submissions to get it opened up. At one point I was about to email him a pdf of the damn thing.

    Oooeeeh, such people are much fun! Enjoy! :D

    Seriously; just teach him all the basic stuff and he will be loyal for ever to you. And he should.

    If he's about your coins, you could see it as a good investment

    @zvyn Yip, sat next to me and asked... but considering there are staff (non-IT) that don't know where the start menu is on windows, or get lost if the outlook shortcut isn't on the ribbon... it's just overall not great 😂

    1. They should not be an IT "manager"
    2. Whoever hired them shouldn't be hiring people either
