That bit about Marc Priestly should be familiar to anyone who has studied or worked in any job remotely related to computer science. “Oh you’re a computer scientist? Can you fix my printer?”

[–] OriginalUsername7@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

To be fair, printers are a bad example. They're fundamentally broken and no one can fix them.

Oh I know all about that. The printer we have at work seems to have a technician coming in to fix it every week!

At this point, they're either you plug them in and they work, or you're in for a fight.
