Facepalm questions?
Everyone has heard at least one stupid computer question in their lifetime. So, if you have ever had an experience which involved a situation of "lack of computer knowledge", please share
I'll start off. Just today I was talking to my friend...
Me: Yeah, so my desktop now has the i3 dual processor, so I hope to soon upgrade to something better, probably the i5 or something around there.
Friend: Wait, why? If you have a dual core, doesn't that mean you have an i6?
Me: What?
Friend: Well, dual means two, and 3+3=6.

Re: Facepalm questions?
me: i disabled my usb drive with this speacker so now i have to do a restore.
My Friend: Oh ok. That seems a bit extreme for that though.
Me: yeah i know. (restore finishes) Wait... fuuuuuuu i should have gone into the control panel and checked the hardware drivers and re-enabled it. *facepalms*

Me: *fiddling around with command prompt and making some basic .bat files*
Friend: Woah! Why is your screen blue? Are you hacking?

Re: Facepalm questions?
That was hilarious. But it's understandable. Not too many people know about the .gif. I know i would have asked the same thing a few years ago. But now i know better.TheJ wrote:I'm majorly lame at computers... but I've met one too.

Re: Facepalm questions?
Haha, that .gif one made me laugh out loud
This happened to me a while back with my friend (Different one. But now I'm starting to wonder why all my friends know nothing about computers)
Me: What Web Browser do you use?
Friend: Google
Me: Oh, Chrome? Yeah, it's good.
Friend: What's Chrome?
Me: Umm... that's what it's called. Google Chrome
Friend: No, when I go to the website, it just says google.com
I then spent the next 15 minutes explaining the difference between web browsers and search engines.

The number of times I've been recruited as tech support and it turns out the thing wasn't turned on....
I can't help it, I'm an art student.
Re: Facepalm questions?
I have an internship with my school's IT so I should get some fun ones this year.
My favorite so far was when my sister was using my computer and she had the control prompt and tons of windows open trying to get the speakers to work. The problem? They were turned off.
