“oh, you know so much! howd you do that?”
“grandma, i literally only typed dir.”
Wait until you type
topMy wife calls it “the app with lots of text”. She’s very beautiful.

y’all motherfuckers need Bash
Give someone bash, and they’ll shell for a day. Teach them fish and they’ll shell for the rest of their lives.
Jokes on you, my Oma worked in Dos until her retirement.
She was an absolute master at it.

I bet one of her previous titles was literally “computer”
thats one of the nicknames the school jocks came up with about me
and i just accepted it bc i actually found it fitting so they had to think of another one lol
mine doesnt even know how to add a custom ringtone to her phone
Mine was convinced that cell phones and landlines were two different networks. Like you couldn’t call a landline from a cell and vice versa. This went on for decades, even after we infront of her proved it worked.
As someone living in more rural demographic, replace grandma with every person with a cpu driven device. To quote my dad regarding his cellular trailcams “Wtf is updatefirmware? Stop making up words.”
The whole “old people are bad at tech” thing is a bit long in the tooth now. Many people who grew up with computers are now old, and many young people are just as baffled by the command line as any grandmother.
There really was a magic learning window 1990-2010, I think. Some people who were there are still bad at technology, and a select few from before are good at it and maybe even helped build those systems, but the prevalence is night and day.
Yes but I’d say it started 10 years before that, growing in numbers through the first few years of the 1980s.
That could be, it was a rough period. I wasn’t around for the beginning, and even the end is approximate as locked down mobile OSs and similarly user-opaque systems gradually came to dominate.
Kids today can still learn computers, but they have to explicitly try. I think something analogous happened with early cars. The first guys had to be able to personally maintain and repair the whole thing, and then over time it gradually became an area for experts and the odd enthusiast only.
i didnt say any grandma, i said specifically mine, who follows that trope. idk how yours is but mine is like that
in my case replacing my grandma with “everyone at my school” also works, i chose my grandma just to vary a bit
Reminds me of the Hollywood trope of a character saying “In English please” after any reference to something on a computer.
I hate it so much when they do it. The writers should just say it the way an IT admin would and move on. Pretending that the character is speaking another language is just anti intellectual bullshit.
It same when i was called by friend who worked at police HQ, updating linux with showing terminal at full screen because i want to know if udate successful or not while i reinstal windows at some computer in that room.
all police that station almost killed me because they tough i hacked police database just because they saw terminal with some progress bar installing linux update.Thanks, Hollywood!
yay
That’s because the default color scheme is white on black. Just change it and Poof! Blue magic, red magic, yellow magic… so many possibilities!

Batch is a very cursed shell/scripting language though

Just wait until she hears about the Linux shell.
