Clearly, if my years on the internet taught me anything, the killer app ID is an app that hack’s ex’s socials with bonus functionality for changing their school grades
I had a guy recently ask why his printer wasn’t working after he got a new router, and it turns out it is because the printer only went up to 802.11g. I’m pretty amazed that printer outlived the wireless standard it was using.
The router he got did have support for 802.11g, but for some reason I don’t remember we couldn’t turn it on. It was some integrated 5G router. The solution was just to use the printer’s built in AP to print. He has to disconnect from the internet to print things, but it still works.
Just because I’m an IT guy, it doesn’t mean I know why your laptop is slow.
Also, that software engineer and IT are not interchangeable terms
^ This. So much this. I’m a software engineer, and people will ask me IT questions about software I have no clue how to use.
“I’m a software engineer, not a printer whisperer”
“Can you hack my ex-girlfriends Instagram?”
Or, “I have an amazing idea for an app…”

My app idea was location based reminders instead of time based.
The next time you’re at the store you’ll get a notification with your notes.
I think it’s a neat idea but i never have location on so 🤷♂️
“My app idea is that you can see where your girlfriend is at all times.”
“So you’re telling me you want me to build an illegal stalking system? Have you really thought this through?”
(Based on an actual conversation.)
Or how to fix your printer.
Nobody knows how to fix a printer
I can’t even get my own printer to work.

I mean… 802.11g is still able to be used. Even b is supported under the radios I’m familiar with.

I mean, 90% chance it’s because: still using a hard drive, old ass CPU/heat issues+throttling, OS and software bloat.
Bloat
And they need to download more RAM
Eh, you probably do, you just don’t want to spend three hours wading through mountains of malware for free.
I don’t want to do it for money either.
