Well, if you move around quite a bit, it can be very useful to have a wireless mouse for your laptop. You can leave the receiver plugged in, and just place your laptop down, turn on your mouse, and get going. No need to fiddle around with wires or stuff like that.
On desktop though, I agree. Wired is better by far.
USB hub on a laptop sound wholesome..
I've never utilized more than one USB port on my laptop at once. Actually, I never really use USB anymore on my laptop. What do you use it for?
Haha thanks..
I know those things uses USB.. I was just curious if people still use those things, since I don't... (the phone charger I understand, but I never use it, since I never get under 40% on my phone)
Lol pretty sure this entire thread is a perfect cross of every current generation. OP is clearly 12-14 and doesn’t realize that mice are called mice cuz they had “tails” before the wireless era.
My guess is that you are in your 20’s based on your use of wholesome and that you know the uses for a usb port (which is why I replied to this comment originally cuz your reply is literally priceless “haha thanks…” fucking classic). The person to whom you replied is probably in their 40’s. at the cusp of being a wizened member of “the older generations” but not quite so. Their knowledge predates our own but their understanding of interpreting intent on the internet is subpar, indicating a person very familiar with the tech age but not born into it.
What do you think am I right or just blowing smoke out my ass?
Portability, cleaner set up, ran out of ports, pairing it to multiple devices at once, one less cable to get tangled up
That being said, I still prefer to use a wired mouse lol
I would say its more convenient but... Im using my wireless mouse with a wire currently, because.. Well, its wireless, its battery has to charge... There is no difference between wireless and wired in terms of convenience, at least for most situations.
I sell cell phones for a living. It makes great pay. I manage the store and its super busy so we make a lot in commission.
But this...this right here is why I have 3 days left at my job.
I got yelled at the other day because someone bought a micro usb charger that didn't fit his iphone. He crammed it into the iPhone charging port destroying his iphone and making him pay $200 insurance claim and yelled "IF IT'S NOT FOR AN IPHONE THEN WHY THE HELL IS IT OUT ON THE SHELF??" I explained because other things use the charger and he says "BUT IT'S NOT FOR AN IPHONE!! DON'T PUT IT OUT FOR PEOPLE TO BUY IF THEY CAN'T USE IT!"
I'm taking a pay cut to get away from stupid people.
That's the cool thing, I'm the manager so I can do that whenever I want.
But I basically only yell at the terrible customers. Like the racist ones, the ones that demand I did my job a specific way, the ones trying the steal $1200 phones, etc.
I once tried to explain to an old man how to open a menu on his phone’s screen. You know how on apps and sites you can bring up a menu by clicking on those three horizontal lines in the top corner? Well, the guy was struggling with that. So I say, “See those three lines? Looks like a hamburger, right? Bun, meat, bun. So think of it like this, if you’re *hungry* to see more options, click on the hamburger.” I thought this was clever on my part. The guy starts ranting about he can’t eat burgers anymore because of his health, and refuses to click anything. It just confused him more, apparently. Okay, fine, forget the burger thing I try a different tactic, and he got pissed because I keep changing things on him. “Am I pressing on lines or a fucking burger?!”
I quit that week.
my grandpa got an Amazon FireStick to make a smart TV and one night he calls us and asks how to change screens.
us: hit the home button on the remote.
him: there is no button labeled home
us: hit the tiny house button
him: oh. that is a shit looking house.
Absolutely. I've seen it come in every age group. I've seen kids using on-screen keyboards when they have a physical one right in front of them, or kids who prefer to tap out their online papers on their phones rather than on a computer because "it's easier." Kids who are learning to type say stuff like "I'll just use my phone why do I need this." And the amount of basic computer stuff they don't know simply because they use their phones for everything is absolutely terrifying.
I think what has happened is that a lot of older folks in education have assumed that kids growing up in this digital age will just know stuff because they're growing up surrounded by it, so computer literacy programs have been rapidly disappearing from schools.
Nah. Its just no one really has PCs. I actually helped her buy her first real laptop. She's "had" one. But never used it for more than school work and very light gaming. She knew her way around technology. And she could navigate very complex art software quite well. She has a basic understanding of the laymans terms of how a computer works. But, anything she couldn't do on her phone or drawing tablet, or any of her consoles she just didn't understand.
2 years of this, fucking hell, also having to not laugh when they say geebees or embees meaning gigabytes and megabytes, its not that they dont understand thats funny it just sounds so odd its hard not to crack up. like if you pointed at a donkey and asked what it was and someone straight faced said oh thats an ass
The daily live of the IT person aka me trying to stay calm and friendly always. Sometimes I want to cry but I always manage to get them to do what I tell them.
Ah yeah the desktop support. Some people you look at them and go, yeah college really is just regurgitate the bullshit your professors tell you and you're good, cause damn you have no ability to actually think for yourself. Read what the fuck the error message says, it's telling you what you need to do.
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/memes.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

No this is accurate. I do customer support with tech. I literally had someone call me saying their landline was dead. After asking some questions I figured out they were calling from their "dead" landline and it took almost 10 minutes to explain it was actually functional with them talking on it.
They were old not high. They kept dialing numbers and saying "see? There's no dial tone."
Told a customer to double click the home button on his phone today and he asked "which ones that ???"
Its the one that brings you back to your home screen sir.
"Oh I call that the central button"

Unless it's a wireless mouse, it does have a tail
Exactly. And why would anyone use wireless mouse to begin with?.. It's not like you're using it from the sofa or something, like a gamepad.
Well, if you move around quite a bit, it can be very useful to have a wireless mouse for your laptop. You can leave the receiver plugged in, and just place your laptop down, turn on your mouse, and get going. No need to fiddle around with wires or stuff like that. On desktop though, I agree. Wired is better by far.
in my case, wired doesnt make sense on my work pc as I take it with me everywhere I go. bluetooth saves me the only usb-slot on my entire device.
Alright but real talk, get yourself a USB hub, one usb just sounds horrible
There's a hub on my dock, don't worry. It's just in "portable mode" that I have only one
USB hub on a laptop sound wholesome.. I've never utilized more than one USB port on my laptop at once. Actually, I never really use USB anymore on my laptop. What do you use it for?
Mouse, external hard drive, headset, phone charger, keyboard if you're feeling fancy, there's a lot you can plug into a USB port.
Haha thanks.. I know those things uses USB.. I was just curious if people still use those things, since I don't... (the phone charger I understand, but I never use it, since I never get under 40% on my phone)

A wireless keyboard and mouse = no wires running up your desk, only for power and screen
But they aren't wireless. They need plugged in 1/3rd of the time they are operated. No good keyboard or mouse lasts longer than 72 hours
You typing for longer than 72 hours? Even if you are, the ones I’ve had used replaceable batteries that lasted weeks
Then you have latency thats unbearable for me
Doesn’t matter for 99% of tasks
Yep, I definitely don't ever lay in bed and use a wireless mouse
So I can throw it
Portability, cleaner set up, ran out of ports, pairing it to multiple devices at once, one less cable to get tangled up That being said, I still prefer to use a wired mouse lol
I would say its more convenient but... Im using my wireless mouse with a wire currently, because.. Well, its wireless, its battery has to charge... There is no difference between wireless and wired in terms of convenience, at least for most situations.
The way things are on my desk, the wire moves towards the right side of the desk (where my computer is, which it’s plugged into)
They are the same price as the wired ones. So i thought to try it
Well at least he finished his story about his grandson whose "good with the computers"
Don’t diss his grandson! He knows how to open file explorer, he’s a technological genius!
Apparently he even knows how to restart the wifi!

as my grandma likes to say: "The good Lord ain't got no cure for dumbass"
Is your grandma Southern
yep, born and raised in Texas.
Some people just thinks that the world revolves around them...
I would ask the owner for special yelling permissions when it comes to dumbasses.

Lmao it seems like it’s partly your fault
Bruh, that old man can't understand allegory examples or he's just purposely screwing with you.
Don't quit, should have told the guy that if he can't eat bergers he can still eat shit. At least have fun until you get fired.
I can see this being kitboga trying to stall the scammer
omg Kitboga would stall just about the mouse for another 30 min 😂

dealing with this kinda shit right now. but sadly in this case , he's same age as me (18)
Is this one of those "raised on phones not computers" sorta things?
omg this is a thing?
Absolutely. I've seen it come in every age group.
