Chromebooks and iPads as the primary devices in schools have hurt the kids in my opinion. Too locked down to allow for exploration.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Locked down, sure.

But compared to generations before where a calculator* was rare? It's fine. Interested nerd will still consume knowledge on the good bits and the cycle will continue.

*"You can't count on always having a calculator", the teacher said, obviously not clairvoyant.

It's all perspective lol, how many of us would last a week logging...with out all the modern tech?

Or car mechanics, might not care how the fancy cloud works, but can talk about engines all day long.

The way I see it, we've all got our niche and help each other out with what we dedicate our time to learning.

I literally just fixed a zoomers laptop last night. Lol

As someone already said, you forgot Gen X. When I ask someone to open a command/terminal window, they have no clue what I’m talking about.

Insert I was born into this meme.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 6 points 4 months ago

Gen X are also pretty tech savvy. Let's not pretend like they didn't pave the way for us millennial to learn how to fix computers.

I say, as a tech retarded millennial, but fuck it, I'm right.

Pc gaming is kinda bringing gen z and alpha back to the light. RGB is how the get you and before you know it you're watching pewdepie's guide to installing Linux and custom android roms.

I'm quite optimistic about the computing future tbh! With LLM helping with troubleshooting the field should be much more accessible for anyone willing to learn.

Let’s settle this once and for all.

I’m Gen Z. Quiz me on how computers work.

Edit: I bet I can run circles around some of you millennials :)

I have a Proxmox server with a random assortment of hard drives and SSDs of various capacities {8TB, 2TB, 2TB, 240GB, 240GB}. I want to create a CephFS filesystem spanning them, using erasure-coded pools in order to maximize capacity (kind of like RAID 5 except without requiring same-sized drives). How do I configure my CRUSH Map in order to accomplish this?

And immediately after we turned the computer on/off and get it working they will post how millennials are weak because we drink ice coffee and go to yoga.
