what does tech literacy consist of
>>110210425>tech literacyWell, definitely not the guy mentioned in the OP.
>>110210390Hey OP you bet that normie has also had consensual sex with more females than you have fingers.Meanwhile, you are here and still a kissless virgin.Im going to let you in on a little secret that actual intelligent people know. Stupid people are valuable resources to use. Just play nice and dont get yourself ostracized. An example might be that one day he might ask you to “fix” his computer.Thats the day you “fix it” by stealing all of his valuable components and replacing them with like a GT 1030 DDR4
>>110210532>you bet that normie has also had consensual sex with more females than you have fingersOP here. Nah, one time he told me in confidence that he's never had a girlfriend. Apparently when he's not at work, he sits at home and plays Fortnite all day on his computer kek. He's a guaranteed virgin, trust me. But you're sort of right about me. I'm not a virgin, but I haven't had sex in over a decade, and I've only ever had one girlfriend, so I sort of feel like a virgin sometimes.Thanks for the advice. I just couldn't do that, though. I don't know, theft and conning people just doesn't feel right. Even if it's a dumbass normalfag, like that guy.
>>110210390Unless you're both working in tech, that's a completely normal response. You can't expect normies to be "tech literate", and whatever that means will always change based on YOUR knowledge of technology.
>>110210606if you cant stomach ripping off the stupid then you will never get rich
>>110210638>You can't expect normies to be "tech literate"I can at least expect that they know what hardware is inside their le ebin "gaming computer". I'm not expecting the guy to be able to write in Python in one hand and Haskell in the other at the same time, or something like that. I'm just saying that if you buy a computer, you should at least have a basic understanding of what hardware is in it. That guy literally thought that "one terabyte of storage" referred to his RAM. He told me a few days later that he looked into it and found out that he has 32GB of RAM. So at least he's learning, I guess.>>110210684I guess I'll never get rich then. Just doesn't sit right with me. I'm not religious or "spiritual" or any of that crap, so I don't fear "divine punishment" or whatever. It's more like I just wouldn't be able to look at myself in a mirror without disliking myself, if I ever ripped someone off for personal gain. Maybe that makes me the fool? I don't know. I just feel like I'd be more fulfilled if I could get rich by helping people, instead of tearing them down. It's not about the money for me. It's about leaving a positive impression on people's lives.
>>1102103904chan /g/ fearmongers
>>110210780You can apply the same logic to cars. Most people are "car illiterates", certainly on /g/ they are. When the average person buys "le ebin SUV", I actually don't expect them to know anything about any of its parts -- it's just a car to them, a car they can use. They might learn something, like your coworker might learn now that you've told him something, but most people don't bother, don't have the time or the mental capacity to do so. And that's okay.
>>110210892This exactly.OP’s colleague bought a ‘gaming computer’ and it plays all his games well. Why should he care about the exact components if his needs are met?My wife has no idea what the top speed and horsepower of her car is, but she knows it has heated seats, name brand winter tyres (“to be safe when it snows”) and looks cute, which is the part that matters to her.
>>110210390You are the loser in that interaction
>>110210390Fuck off to reddit with your fake and gay stories
>>110210390I can just tell you are an insufferable person to have a conversation with. Get laid chud.
>>110210390whoah dude thats crazy bro
