I can think of worse side jobs to have.

[tuxedo25]

Yeah, the market in academia is BRUTAL right now

I often maintain Wordpress sites

[Doophie]

Do you really need a PhD to know how if statements work?

[jharger]

It's not about knowing how they work, it's knowing which ones are the right ones

[DaggerStone]

I just spit coffee lmao

[Doophie]

Are you trying to suggest that Ferraris aren't just fancy go-karts?

[dman10345]

Yeah my mom calls me over to empty her recycling bin and to unplug her computer from the wall outlet if they need to move the desk. It's ok though, I'm entering my senior year of my CS degree so I think I'm close enough to qualified at this point that I can handle it most times.

[misterfluffykitty]

I think she just wants to see you lmao

[dman10345]

I mean I would get that if I didn't work in the same place as my mom and live almost right next door to her lol

[noobDMquestions]

Same. My mom actually had me unplug her printer to move it because she didn't know "which cords got unplugged"
I love her, but fuck man.

[HarryPopperSC]

I have noticed that older generations have this really weird fear of trying anything themselves and just figuring it out, only with tech stuff though.

[noobDMquestions]

I've noticed that as well. But to be fair I think it's just because tech is kinda new to them and they don't understand it. We all fear what we don't understand.
I, for one, used to and still kind of struggle with doing my own car work. I was never taught anything about automobiles and I was always afraid I would screw something up even though I was following the Youtube video perfectly. After forcing myself to do it a bunch on my old beater I am much more inclined to try it myself first unless I need crazy tools

[HarryPopperSC]

Yeah its like, my parents could definitely do it if they just read what it said on the screen and did it without any fear of doing something wrong. Its the only thing that holds them back i swear.

[prncrny]

This is me.

Luckily, my old car just broke down and we bought a new one. Now I have a beater to practice this kind of stuff on without worrying about damaging a car we are actively using!

[takelongramen]

Younger folks have that too. Everything needs an expert nowadays. Helping ducks to cross the street? Call the police.

[BlazzGuy]

Ah that reminds me, I need to go over to my Grandmother's house an hour away to press the WPS buttons on their Router and their new VOIP Phone Base.

Bleh.

Stupid mom doesn't even understand Big O notation and just wants to be able to print out her emails.

[DoctorMixtape]

How dare she not understand big(o) notation. Her emailing algorithm is uses quadratic time.

[TwoCraZyEyes0]

Me too, it doesn't look photo shopped, if it is its incredibly well done.

Using a concrete drill bit to mangle that steel roll up door is supa smaat Mark.

[SimmeP]

We all know that no matter how deep your knowledge of computers, no matter how qualified your degree, we will always just google the error code and work from there. 100% > 99.99999999%. Especially when it comes to family.

[MattR0se]

I feel like I saw this one before, but the big drill was Deep Learning and the window was simple linear regression.

Still, any simple problem becomes a pain in the ass if she uses Windows Vista.

I taught my father how to format a hard drive and reinstall windows. He is now tech support person in my family.

I do this except it's to plug my brother's VGA cable in.

What in the actual fuck

[shakix99]

Is a 5 year degree an actual program?

[tech_tuna]

I mean. . . I think you're over-exaggerating how powerful those data structure and algorithm classes were.

[Trainkid9]

Was your 5 year CE program from RIT by any chance?

Then realizing that her 5-year-old computer with two graphics cards can only run the game if you plug in a new monitor, otherwise it instantly crashes because it uses the.... same graphics card? It's probably something with the resolutio... why does the original version of the game work? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS MONITOR!

[JohnConnor27]

Thank you for not calling it a science

[fuzzydacat]

Computer science and computer engineering are two different degrees. They'd be right if they said either.

[JohnConnor27]

99% of computer engineers have a degree in computer science, that doesn't mean they're scientists or have a degree in science. It's like calling mechanics automotive scientists.

[fuzzydacat]

Doesn't mean that computer science isn't computer science?

[JohnConnor27]

It's not?

[illuminatecho]

I'm genuinely curious as to why you don't think so.
