I've once used and actually tried to service one of the #Acer #Predator21X.

• These things are absolute dogshit, because their #UEFI is garbage, refuses to boot from external USB drives and the customer I tried to help was in the end helpless simply because some idiot before me fucked up the #Windows10 installation on it so hard that is was basically bricked!

Worst of all, the person who bought it basically got "scammed" because all they did was use #ACDSee so the seller who sold this to them took advantage of their #TechIlliteracy to sell them a €10k+ #Laptop when a €299 #Netbook would've done the same job whilst being objectively the better machine!

I have clients who don't know what a "file" is, nevermind how to download them from a webpage.

They are exclusively iPhone users.

Pretending this issue doesn't exist is what makes it worse.

I get 300-500mbps on my current #Digi mobile plan. They have been harassing me to "upgrade" to their new plan, which runs at "up to" 100mbps, for more money. With barefaced lies that my current plan is slow and outdated.

Millions fall for this scam every year.

@zeph @glitzersachen @fooflington @Sancrasini granted, "#AI" is only.going to exascerbate this problem in an era of *increasing #MediaIlliteracy # #TechIlliteracy!

Anyone who knows anything about #AI knows this is pure marketing BS.

For over a decade, #Samsung referred to storage space on their products as "ROM".

Not only did they get away with it, much of the world considered them a leading authority in technology, and followed suit; paying Samsung billions of dollars along the way. While Samsung recently dropped the practice, the damage was already done.

Die "#DublinHalloweenParade" zeigt eindeutig wie effektiv #Desinformation heutzutage ist.

• Und jetzt stellt euch vor, dass nicht ne "#KiHalluzination" sondern professionelle #Propaganda- und #Desinformationsschleudern wie #NIUS mindestens genauso effektiv ist wenn es um #Lügen und #Hetze geht...

Mangelnde #Medienkompetenz zollt ihren Tribut.

Looking at consumer electronics forums over the last few years, it seems most people have no clue how electricity works.

Is this not taught in school anymore?

#education #techilliteracy

@ubahnverleih oder alles zusammen, weil #Inkompetenz aka. #TechIlliteracy bei @tagesschau + lazy #Copypasta von #Pressemitteilung|en sind nix neues.

• @dw_innovation / #DWnews kommt raus wenn Leute beim #ÖRR Bock auf #Journalismus haben!

What do you do when you work in IT, in a country where #linux is "unthinkable"? Where everyone desperately clings to pirated software and #Win10EOL because trying anything else would amount to the collapse of civilization.

@fuchsiii @DemocracyMattersALot @GreenSkyOverMe the #USA suffers from both #MediaIlliteracy, #TechIlliteracy and #Fascism!

@t3n dass #TechIlliteracy & #MediaIlliteraxy ein immer.größeres Problem wird war schon vor 25 Jahren abzusehen!

• Ich hatte 2019 eine*r firsch gebackenen Abiturient*in nen Desktop-PC an deren Arbeitsstelle ausgeliefert und jene Person wusste nichtmalsbwas ne Tastatur & Maus ist und wie diese zu benutzen sei.

@sad_electronics nodds in agreement

In 2019 I literally had a fresh highschool grad with their A-level starting a dual study / apprenticeship program in 'business administration' and was working for a MSP when I delivered them a new desktop to their office.

• They didn't knew how to use a keyboard and mouse! All they could do is use their fucking iPhone.

I internally "bluescreened" amidst the weapons-grade #TechIlliteracy and I thought I was being pranked by them but no, they were serious and I had to teach them that this ain't a touchscreen so one moves that pointer by mimicing the movement and typing in the text by pushing buttons.

• And mind you this person was certified to be ready to study at a regular university, but couldn't even connect their personal #iDevice to the guest WiFi they worked at.

Like this wasn't some stupid ex-prisoner who was in a slammer 20 years and had to start their life anew in some shitty warehouse job or something, but a 19 year old with enough money to just go out and buy themselves a PC on a whim.

• And this wasn't like a fancy riced linux but a box-standard Windows 10 mini tower...

Is this a #Malaysia thing, or are the biggest consumer electronics/smartphone brands in the world really so fucking stupid to keep referring to storage space as "ROM".

I'm not about to spend thousands of $$ on brands that lack basic literacy of their own products.

@tagesschau und das ist erst der Anfang...

"#MediaIlliteracy" aka. Mangelnde #Medienkompetenz und "#TechIlliteracy" aka. Mangelnde #Technologiekompetenz gefärdet bereits seit langem die #FDGO, sei es #RTdeutsch oder #Zensursula, #NIUS oder wasauchimmer für #VerfassungsfeindlichKackshice & #CyberfaschistischeKackshice sich #CDU / #CSU wieder ausdenken...

• Das ist auch kein neues Problem: Diese #Korrosionsstrategie gegen das #Grundgesetz wurde jeweils 1968, 1972 und 2001 massiv beschleunigt und solange die #Lügen die als Begründung dienen (sei es #Terrorismus, #Kiminalitätsbekämpfung oder #Jugendschutz) nicht öffentlich durch die Mehrheit lautstark verworfen und als solche benannt werden, sowie jene #Lügner nicht #rechtsstaatlich zur #Verantwortung gezogen werden, wird der #Dauerangriff gegen das #Grundgesetz weiter gehen!

Hinzu kommt natürlich unter #BlackRot (wie kaum einer Regierung zuvor) dass Menschen in existentielle Ängste und Nöte getrieben werden um diese mittels #Angst gefügig zu halten.

• #Merz & Co. können zwar nicht den #Lohnarbeitern den Mund verbieten, diese aber qua #Präkariat konsequent auslaugen und soweit fertig machen bis jenes "#Stimmvieh" resigniert und nur noch #Letztwähler*innen wählen gehen!

Das ist kein Versehen sondern volle Absicht!!!
