Participantmaybe they were trying to be a little fancy? framing is a common literary and cinematic technique. but i’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it was unintentional.

ParticipantI’m a tech imbecile and didn’t get most of the gags. But I laughed anyway…just so I wouldn’t look stupid or nothing.

KeymasterI just didn’t think they were funny. Some sad but true ones, but funny?
The funny were not aboard this page, and no transmissions of funny were made. An escape pod was jettisoned during the searching. No funny was on board.

ParticipantHe must have hidden the funny in the escape pod!

Participantthere was nothing you could have done, Captain, had you been there. you’d have been un-funny too, and the jokes would now be in the hands of the Empire.

ParticipantFor me, I’m living with my grandparents for my first year of university, and I had to move their modem from their bedroom to my room, which then involved me setting up wireless to go to their computer. That’s where the issue started. Memorable quotes include:
“Well what did you do this time?”
“Well if you can’t fix it, we’d better just get it all taken out”
“I’m at the point where i want to throw it (laptop) out the window.”
me- “what were you doing when you had the issue?” her-“Nothing” /facepalm
“Why do they (isp) keep doing that? It’s causing so many problems for me”PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: All she fucking uses it for is email. And she’s only had a computer for the last 3 years. When the computer can’t connect to the router, it is a ‘severe problem’ which requires the utmost urgent calls to me to get it all working again, or else I will have to put up with the 15 minute string of questions about why it’s not working, whose fault it is, why (again), “I want to go back to the old setup”.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Probably just needed to vent. Fucking Luddites thinking 100% uptime and no issues is feasable

KeymasterI have similar problems with my grandma, and it’s user error 98% of the time. She’s on a Mac, and it hasn’t stopped the calls, just the severity of the actual problem.

ParticipantYeah we set mine up with a mac (iBook g5 10.4), whenever a window opens up that says something she cannot understand – my favorite, the one that says none of your preferred wireless connections are available – she rushes over to tell me something but can never remember what it says, and she told me something about a server being reached is not the true connection and I just laughed. I think I’m going to start pretending I have no idea what the problem is. “I think you need a disk or something” -Jerry

KeymasterIs there a signal strength issue making this problem worse. I’ve rarely had problems with airport cards dropping their connection. Especially not a persistent problem.

Participanti’m telling you right now, i’m stealing the “i think you need a disc” line.
i remember a guy having trouble with intermittent wi-fi drop outs for no apparent reason. long story short, come to find out it just happened to coincide with him answering his el-cheapo cordless phone.

ParticipantYeah, the thing is her computer is as far away from our access point as possible. And there are a plethora of off angles and things in the way of the signal as well. I could buy a more powerful router, but I spend $40 for this one so I made due by running it to the doorway and just setting it on the floor. heh
