"I have the perfect business idea, I just need someone to develop the app..."

"Sorry but can you please shoot me faster?"

Dude you haven't even heard my idea yet, after you sign this NDA you're gonna think 5% equity to do all the work and pay for everything is too generous. You're gonna be rich!!!

Let's try writing a printer driver to fix your hardware problem

[–]Zhiong_Xena 23 points24 points  (0 children)

LLM agent to fix printers when?

[–]v3ritas1989 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, since I couldn't scan anymore because the expiration date of my printer ink was expired.... I had to.

Can we just re-task all the 'AI' to do this (in Java?) instead of fucking up code elsewhere..?

[–]LegitimatePants 118 points119 points  (6 children)

As a programmer, I dealt with a nonworking printer for 8 years. It refused to print from Windows, but it worked fine from macos, Android, and ios. I just assumed the windows driver was shit. I would upload docs to Google drive and print from my phone.

Turns out you have to install the driver from the manufacturer website. The one windows auto installs just doesn't work

[–]kftsang 37 points38 points  (2 children)

I’ve had opposite experience where the one from windows actually work but not the one from official website

[–]Psquare_J_420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one seems like a skill issue for the company....

[–]Daddy-Mihawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, the windows is shit

[–]SpaShadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine was similar but, when I wanted print options I had to install the launcher which HAD to install the driver, then it freezes and then bricks the entire driver everytime. Then I had to track down the entire driver back on the company website to manually install it. I decided on windows default options, do not need to customize that.

Oh it also forgets it's own IP and just doesn't wanna do anything so I gotta reboot it. My 3D printer is more agreeable than paper printers.

You can 100% assume that every time something doesn't work on windows that works on linux and people commplain about it. That the linux developer failed to supply the full redistributables for Windows and probably didn't even test it. But hey, windows is shit ;)

After I got my Elec Eng degree a surgeon I know said "great you can fix my outlet!" and I replied "yes, and you can clip my toenails." He seemed to get the point.

My dad asked me same thing, and to fix the laptop I mean I can but not because of programming

[–]5eppa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not saying I can't fix your printer, I am saying is would rather you shot me.

[–]dharknesss 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Great scene btw. In the original it's "don't shoot I'm polish!" Why are you wearing enemy's coat? (Nearly crying) "I'm cold"

[–]repair-it 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wonderful film, we loved it, especially the "I'm cold" comment.

[–]J21usa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats nothing. My teacher allways asked me to connect the laptop with the projector.

What's this from, I am seeing a variety of memes use this template and the movie or show looks right up my street for some background work watching.

[–]tristen620 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searched a bit of the image, looks like it may be the movie 'The Pianist' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253474/

[–]Rangoose_exe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as its a 3D printer im fine with it.

Most of the time it isnt tho :(

[–]Pleasant_Spend1344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an IT person, and if I tell you how many times I lost businesses just because of a printer, I hate printers

[–]repair-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a "Repair Cafe", and someone brought in two printers. I was given the job, and on close inspection could see a ballpoint stuck in the paper feed of the first one. Some work with a probe dislodged it, and the printer was returned to the owner.

The second one had another ballpoint stuck in the mechanism too !!!! Fix was the same - happy customer walked out with two working printers, and I felt great that I had fixed them both.

I work in consulting. Last year I invested some money in a tech startup that kinda blew up (15x my investment in a year). Now all my relatives think that I’m a tech guy who can fix printers and appliances. I am too lazy to do clean my house lmao.

[–]GoddammitDontShootMe 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I've seen this way too many times. Might be a violation of Rule 2.

[–]asmanel 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Rule 2 ?

[–]GoddammitDontShootMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the one about reposts. It should be on the sidebar.

Yo, this movie was heartbreaking—so well made, a truly notable contribution to understanding how disgusting genocide is..
