It is used as a joke though. The entire internet is filled with them.

If you want them to be taken seriously, they shouldn't be posted as a shitpost

It is more that the constant barrage of depressing posts about wanting to commit suicide is just so tiring.

I am sick of them. They aren't funny or shocking anymore. People all over the internet have exhausted them. And they overshadow the post of people who actually have suicidal tendencies.

First responders always check for babies even without stickers.

Because plenty of people need to transport babies that aren't their legal guardian and thus don't have a permanent sticker on theit car. Like family members.

Those stickers are just for people who are so proud they shat out a baby, they feel compelled to tell the entire world.

The average user doesn't know those softwares. They never even heard of em.

They know paint and photoshop, and don't have a license for photoshop.

So they might try paint if we're lucky, but it will definitely look awful when they use the pencil tool to change the colour to one that only looks similar to the background colour, one pixel at a time.

The average user is way less capable than you give them credit.

Their previous IT issue was a week ago.

Nah, some electronics just have residual power in their system somewhere like in capacitors.

Unplugging and replugging with only a couple of seconds or so in between is not enough for it to fully shut down. It can keep corrupted information in their ram.

10 seconds at least, but I get when they ask for 30 seconds just to make sure.

The dumbest thing I encountered was someone who claimed their CD drive was broken.

I came by, flipped the CD and then it started working.

Yeah it is stupid.

But easily solved by disabling fast startup.

The IT support aura is nothing more than being patient.

Users don't have patience, so when they call IT about a problem, they are forced to wait until IT gets there. Which is enough time for it to get through whatever it was calculating and start working again.

That doesn't seem like a problem with Windows 11, but with misconfiguration on the server or on your end.

Never had to restart multiple times unless some config asked for it. And every computer at my job is running Windows 11.

Even all those different little inventions had plenty of steps along the way, and almost all of them were viable during its time.

The greatest strength humanity has had to create ingenious machines wasn't intelligence.

It was time and manpower.
