That is not a very good circle, to be fair.
When you are allowed into the vicinity of this kind of equipment, you should be able to identify matching shapes without circles in the first place...
Ooooh, like that video where every piece fits in the square hole!
They obviously shouldn't be allowed to be in the vicinity of that switch. And that's the support person's fault.
That’s right, it goes into the square hole
a tech illiterate old friend of mine in his 60s got tasked with changing his simcard for new one. But the network just didn't appear. Long story short after 3 hrs of headbashing I asked him to send me the photo of simcard itself
that was a valuable afternoon for my humility

note the right side of simcard frame bulging out
for confused in terminology
What am I seeing?
alt text is added, cheers
Isn't the "standard" sim card in you pic actually mini-sim? While the standard one is credit card-sized? I think I have a phone somewhere that takes a credit card sized sim actually.
To be fair, most people here probably have a mini SIM as their first SIM card.
Had someone verify that wifi was working because he could see his neighbors' networks. Airplane Mode was enabled. Dunno what he thought he saw.
Same thing with a colleague. The guy told him that he was definitely connected to wifi. It took a lot of probing to confirm that wasn't true.
Some people just can't provide valid feedback nor follow simple instructions. I kinda feel like those individuals shouldn't be allowed to use computers to do their jobs. If you can't
masterjust pass the basics, sorry. Here's a pencil and a pad of paper. You can either work the longer way or you can consciously put in the effort to learn this stuff enough for us to help you when you need it.My own father, who had a doctorate in mechanical engineering: "Now click the Apple menu." "What's that?" "It's the menu that's an Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen." "I don't have that." "Yes, you definitely have that." "No, I don'… oh there it is."
I'm not calling anyone stupid. More that I'm saying people convince themselves that they can't learn and then shut down.
I think that's the trick, right? 1% of a perfectly normal person's attention looks a lot like a really dumb person. This certainly goes for tech, but also for any number of other fields.
Insightful. I was commenting about a VIP wrt a power dialog on a mobile device and posited that the reason they didn't understand a thing must be that they don't read before dismissing it. I would even say that's half of 1% of their attention and that makes complete sense. The other 99.5% is focused on the things they consider more important.
I mean in fairness to the first one, on most systems it is possible to turn wifi back on without turning off airplane mode (there is in-flight wifi after all)
I think this really comes down to whether the employee was IT (and to an extent part of the network team). If so, I'd say there's a lot of questions to be answered here. If not, there's also a lot of questions to be answered but not from that employee :P
To be slightly fair to the tech illiterate, there’s no sfp transceiver specified or shown in the picture… how the hell is someone supposed to plug that in?
As a programmer, I don't even know what we're looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven't seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn't "port 21 <bottom|top>" been better?
I’m enjoying the idea of someone looking at the picture, looking at their cords, looking at the plugs, and then working this out as a solution rather than sending a picture of the plug end and port and asking for clarification.
Like this person probably felt really stupid needing to sort out what’s going on, because it was just unclear, and I enjoy where they ended up all the same. It’s totally wrong, but it’s creative problem solving for sure.
I enjoyed this vid and as a contribution I'll spare y'all loading 20 MB of youtube JS
