Computer knowledge Memes

You know that special kind of pain when someone tells you they "deleted the internet" or that their computer has a virus because it's running slow? That's the face right there. It's the internal screaming mixed with the professional obligation to nod politely while someone explains how they fixed their printer by "downloading more RAM." The best part is trying to maintain composure when they're absolutely confident in their completely wrong explanation. "Yeah, I'm pretty tech-savvy myself" they say, right before asking if you can hack their ex's Facebook. The restraint it takes not to correct every single misconception is truly an underappreciated skill in the tech industry.

You know that special kind of pain when your uncle starts explaining how "the WiFi is slow because too many megabytes are clogged in the router" or your manager confidently declares that "we just need to download more RAM"? That's the face right there. It's the internal screaming of every developer who has to sit through explanations about how "the cloud is just a big computer in the sky" or "HTML is a programming language, right?" The best part is you can't even correct them without sounding condescending, so you just sit there, nodding politely while your soul slowly exits your body. Every fiber of your being wants to interrupt with "Actually, that's not how TCP/IP works," but you know it'll lead to a 45-minute conversation where you'll somehow end up fixing their printer. Bonus points if they follow up with "You work with computers, right? Can you fix my iPhone?"
