IT people hate computers.
IT people hate computers.
IT people hate users. IT people hate other IT people. We’re just a surly lot.
You just made an enemy for life!
You IT people sure are a contentious bunch.
SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH!
true, but we also hate computers
We hate ones setup by other people or used by other users. Our own network is a glorious shrine to the one true faith.
Can’t argue with that… until something goes wrong and I hate it (really just mad at myself)
“Dammit, what idiot set this up this way?” <checks logs> <you were the last login>
My laptop windows 11? No problem. Anyone elses windows? Fucking burn it.
IT people hate people then? Checks out to me actually
Correction: IT people hate printers.
Correction: printers hate people.
As a non-IT person, fuck HP in particular.
PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?
Fuck printers
Nom one invented a good printer still
I have read this ten times now, and I still can’t figure out what it is supposed to mean…
Printers are known in IT to be a utter pain in the ass. Most brands are also using a lot of proprietary stuff and it limits interoperability. Drivers for example.
Well known example is about ink cartridges. HP added identification chips on them, so if you want to use an other brand, not HP, to fill your printer, you can’t because if no chip is detected despite a cartridge being inserted, the machine will tell you it is not genuine.
Another example with Rycoh. I don’t know if their printers still use this method, so take it as an example of capitalist greed more than a current situation. Laser printers are using a sealed container to process waste created during printing. Rycoh had placed a led detector inside to know when it was full and trigger an alert, stopping the machine and request for a change. Good idea in theory but in practice the detector was placed very oddly or on purpose near or in front of dust intake. So it was bathed very quickly in electrostatic dust and thus triggered the alarm very quickly, even if your container was not fully filled. The only way to solve this was to shake your waste storage, hoping it would clean the led enough to keep going for a few days or change it.
Lastly, I have a Brother printer, bought to a neighbor sale. The oven inside, which is in charge of heating the ink, had a failure. It had melted. For the price, it was a deal. I only needed to buy a new part, unplug it, replace and I had a laser printer with colours. Well, Brother had lightly soldered pins linking the connector to PCB. When I unplugged it, soldering came with it. I contacted a repair store near me telling me they don’t do it and I should ask for a repair to a certified Brother technician. Which is overpriced. I also can’t open it fully as it is placed to be impossible to repair without disassembling half of the machine.
No printer is the same, some brands are better than others. Some are well accepted on Linux with CUPS, some other not. But so far, not one brand impressed me well enough by their design to keep it open, easily fixable and long lasting.

FUCK PRINTERS

IT people hate other people using a computer
I once had to watch a co-worker scroll to the bottom of a list using the little arrow buttons on the end of the scrollbar. Clicking, not holding.
That’s what my hell would be like. Doing IT support without being able to wrench the mouse out of their hands.
I hate my computer as well. That’s why I have to modify it to something completely different before I am able to use it for basic text editing.
I AM TALKING TO YOU EMACS PUT YOUR BACKUPS SOMEWHERE ELSE BY DEFAULT ALREADY I USE GIT
I’m an IT person and I like computers, as long as they’ve never been turned on and they stay that way.
This absolutely applies to me. I’m so sick of computers and software and security and subscriptions and vendors. I just want my own animal sanctuary with chickens and otters and baby goats god dammit!
Many IT people love computers. They hate computers that other people use.
Photo editors hate:
CS people hate the printer
…and a lot of them hate the end-user, too. Why must we involve people in the whole computer thing? Isn’t an abacus and a box of crayons enough?
Bold of you to assume the end user can handle crayons
I work in a print shop and i also hate the printer.
Fuck you Xante. I hate you so much
PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean??
No idea, but we treat them all the same. 230vAC to the USB port.
Try this and the result may shock you!
Doctors hate it!
500years of printing and this is the best we got… Smh
It means it’s time to take that copier to pasture.
HP printers in particular.
Weirdly, i don’t hate HP printers (at least, the FutureSmart ones). Xerox can fuck right off with all those restarts just to change fucking settings though
People who have worked with printers know that HP is bad but Xerox is worse.
It’s a matter of Consumer vs Corporate
In the consumer space, HP is the worst. In the corporate world, Xerox is the worst (iirc Xerox doesn’t even make consumer grade printers)
Xerox is a bad copy of themselves from decades prior.
CSIT but yeah. I work in a company with people with masters in CS from Ivy League schools and they don’t understand the first thing about how hardware or their OS works. Common misconception…which, in and of itself, is sad as hell because one of the course requirements (at least when I was working on my CS degree) was Operating System Concepts & Design.
Well that is accurate…
And anyone in a field related to studying living creatures in nature hate pesticides/herbicides. Because pesticides harm everything that eats the thing that eats the thing that eats the thing that eats the pesticide.
Same thing with lead shot accumulating in large birds.
Wait, so the lead shots imbed in the animals that eat the lead shot large birds? And again for the animals that eat the animals that eat the lead shot large birds?
If an animal gets shot with lead, survives and runs away, there is now a wounded animal or an animal carcass containing lead somewhere in the wild.
If it is wounded or freshly dead a carnivore will eat it and accumulate lead. That may be large carnivore or a smaller carnivore that later gets eaten by a bigger one. Birds tend to have stronger stomach acid that most mammals, allowing them to dissolve the lead better.
Vultures having it the worst as they will eat any carcass and have the strongest acid.Is that… me?
Ornithologists hate cats.
Simple, common bird appreciators too
Don’t forget reptile and insect appreciators, we also hate cats
Not to forget a lot of cats, who also hate cats
Cats or people who allow their cats to be outdoors?
Yeah, I reread my comment and it can be interpreted either way, but it is definitely the second one.
There are also cats that wouldn’t even catch a cold, but the issue is mostly with either stray cats or those that are allowed out.
Me too
Firemen hate pedophiles
Teachers hate pedophiles
Doctors hate pedophiles
Lawyers hate pedophiles
Liberals hate pedophiles
Conservatives hate pedophiles
Independents hate pedophiles
Where’s the fucking list Donny? Give us the list you fat orange fuck. We know you’re on it, and so do you. How did you think this was going to pan-out, dumbass?
EMS hate motorcycles and decorative throw rugs.
and anything vaugly shaped like a butt plug but is not a butt plug.
Not with that attitude
Also, actual butt plugs. Yes, they can and they will slip inside to the point you can’t get them out.
ALWAYS USE A FLAIRED BASE. Ideally a very wide flaired base.
very important lol
You ever realize that a guy is the flaired base to his penis?
The real life pro tip, in the replies as always
Flair: the 32 pins and badges at TGIFriendly’s
Flare: a widening at the base
Ah, thank you I missed that :)
Reminded me of this post: https://lemmy.world/post/34770628
Why do they hate the decorative throw rugs?
Slip and fall danger.
I know 2 people that both had an accident this way. One tore off a tendon around the knee, the other fractured their hand from trying to cushion their fall. And I don’t know that many people.
Yeah, people don’t realize you can add non-slip materials to the bottom to minimize the risk.
Ugh, if only that worked for longer than like a month.
Eventually all these materials you can throw under throw rugs to make them stickier end up failing. Catastrophically.
Make sure to get a throw rug that has the non-slip feature sewn in. Make sure it’s nice and heavy too and never put it in the dryer (it’ll ruin the non-slip part). You should probably air dry throw rugs anyway, actually 🤷
Fell on a throw rug yesterday
The rug threw you. That’s why they’re called that!
Some real TIL gems in this thread.
Extremely common trip and fall hazard, frequently in the homes of old people with bad balance and fragile bones
I hate them too. Some people insist they actually increase safety
Get receive rugs instead, got it
Agree on the rugs but motorcycles are more of a “I hate people” thing. I’m an EMT that dailies a bike and tons of my coworkers ride too
Nephrologists love donor cycles though
And post-shit stand ups.
Potty humour?
Do the floor rugs trip people?
and those huge mirrors thar you just leaning against the wall
sysadmins hate end users because end users suck.
Death Star structural engineers hate the waste management guys
Software devs hate users
Psychoanalysts hate those blotchy black & white images of my mother’s pussy giving birth to my father who is wielding a knife with my name written along the hilt. “Stop bringing these fucking drawings in here!” she yells. God forbid a man have hobbies.
Ents also hate Orcs
Who downvoted you? Saruman himself?
It legit took me longer than it should have to realize it wasn’t talking about the tree people.
Glass manufacturers hate bubbles.
A lot.
So do economists!
And phlebotomists!
And deep sea divers
…and people that work with resin and 3D printerers.
Structural engineers: fire, water, air and earth. They are like the Anti-Avatar
Everything changed when the Structural Engineering Nation attacked.
ENTs hate Q-tips?!
That doesn’t make sense to me. But, then again, you are very small.
People sticking Q-tips in their (E)ars and to a lesser extent, (N)oses and (T)hroats.
You’re absolutely correct, but op is making a joke about Ents from LotR. A cheeky little pun, if you will.
As someone whose name escaped the skipping record that your name is, I concur.
It’s a reference to this character from Catch-22. Unless this is my turn to be wooshed.
I wasn’t making any kind of reference, myself, to be whooshed by. I’ve used this name around for a little while and just wanted to agree with your statement, then noticed the partial similarity in our names and wanted to comment on that, to, as if someone were trying to say my handle but got stuck on an audio loop: “Major— major— major— major—”
HROOOM
