If AI kills a bunch of tech jobs, Best Buy parking lots might look like Home Depot parking lots someday.

Imagining a bunch of guys in polos posted up on the corner. "Hey bro, I'll install your printer, $10".
I don't care how desperate things get. I will NOT do printer work.
I'm more desperate and will do the printer work
Cheap labor in a nutshell
But will you install the printer......naked?
clicks a remote, and the room gets dark with a blacklight disco ball, and Barry White playing
I've taken the liberty of purchasing two snickers bars.....one for you.......one for daddy!
sweet! relaxed dress code, free music and snacks, and a family workplace culture!? this is what us millenials want for our careers after all!
slut
🥵 please daddy let me siphon the ink out of the used printer cartridges to fill up my aftermarket resettable cartridges
How do printers get so fucked up?
Relatively new in IT and think they must mess up more than anything else
Couple of things that I've observed. It's a combo of shit design and poor human behavior.
-the ones in an office setting take an absolute fuck ton of abuse from people who can't reload paper or replace an ink cartridge; I have seen punching and slamming on the regular -as a corollary to the above, no one fucking trains workers on copiers. The workers have to figure it out on their own. Violence is a natural response. -as a secondary corollary to the above, you can absolutely fuck with hated colleagues by removing their names from the user list simply by using the manual keypad (or changing the name from TooBeeSan to TooBeeNasty) -the ones in a home setting are persnicketty about color toner and are shit at Bluetooth connections (and thus also take a fuck ton of abuse)
Nothing more commonly fruitful than a misconfigured print server.
