@QueenCodeslut I learned to accept it after 4 years of constant questions about "How to fix my antivirus software".
Also thanks for your welcome! :D -
Just ask wayyy too much money to fix it, and see the people going away in flocks
Also welcome to devRant -
lotd79287yI often gets mistaken for a young Gandalf.
Especially by friends and newcomers.
It's just part of the game. :) -
mhudson12937yYour frustration is reasonable.
On the other hand, knowing how to fix a computer is like a sniper knowing how to fix his rifle.
I -can-build-and-fix- computers and networks from layer 1 up to level 7... just don't advertise it 😉
As people who rely on computers and networks for our livelihoods, it behooves us to know how those things operate, and how to fix them.

xsacha4317yTo be fair, if you spend your life on computers you are most likely to have encountered more computer platforms and fixed more computers than anyone else they know. If you can't fix it, they'd have to pay someone.

klopango1257yDepends on how you look, if you wear a tshirt, and have a messy beard. Then yes, you do look like a tech wizard.
What really gets on my nerves?
People that think I can fix every computer problem there is, just because I'm a developer and therefore must know everything about PCs.
What do I look like, a Tech Wizard?
