Hmmph!
So you're so non-tech-savvy that you don't even know how to use OCR!
It's no wonder the youngsters think old fogies are useless.

via whatsapp of course.
That is how all the kids do it.
One young employer requested a serial number off a desktop from me.
I duly emailed the answer right away.
Few minutes later whatsapp from him: "can take photo and reply it back to me."
I replied "just emailed the number to you."
His reply, "I know, saw it, u sent the photo yet? is yr phone camera good quality?"
Sigh, where did we go wrong? (Apart from the procreating?)
Sin tack ear lol

The young generation are pretty stu[id when it comes to real technology. OK they can blue tooth a phone to an amp and set up a play lst but ask them what mallware is and they havent a clue (litterally had this with my nephew yesterday).

What's mallware? Something used in a shopping center?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

What ages constitute the "young generation"? Because I think the 27 year old founder and CEO of MalwareBytes would disagree with you on this point.

Of course there are exceptions in every field. I still agree with the parent post however. Based on my own observations, I'd say the general rule is that most kids today are NOT any more tech savvy than their own parents were at that age, because an awful lot are only exposed to consumption devices such as smartphones and tablets. That's a regression IMO.

The older generation is worse, as expected. At a neighborhood Christmas party a couple of months ago the neighbor charged with keeping the subdivision contact list was frustrated that she couldn't get it to format/print correctly. Someone mentioned that I worked with computers so she gave me the 16 page printout and asked me to fix it.  Of course I'll claim that I just forgot!

You should write back and say "I have a {3} for you too, you {6} {7}!!!"

Send them back this
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

NUTS! COCONUTS!
You have to devise a plan for an important scientific research...
The goal of the research is to determine at what minimal high coconuts break.
You have a 100 story building, 2 coconuts and $1.40.
* A trip in the elevator cost a dime (up and down included).
* The coconuts suffer no harm when dropped from lesser high than their breaking point.
(At the end collect the coconuts and send to me - I need a lot to prepare these: dates delicacy...[^])
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Having only two coconuts, we have to you use single steps after we broke one. Having max. 14 elevator rides, start at floor 14 so that we can check floors 1 to 13 if the coconut breaks.
If it does not break start the next test at floor 27 because we have 12 rides left aftwerwards which can be used to test floors 15 to 26.
So the floors will be:
0 + 14 = 14
14 + 13 = 27
27 + 12 = 39
39 + 11 = 50
50 + 10 = 60
60 + 9 = 69
69 + 8 = 77
77 + 7 = 84
84 + 6 = 90
90 + 5 = 95
95 + 4 = 99

I'd go with 50th, if breaks then 25 otherwise 75 and then by halving increment/decrement. In maximum 7 steps you find the solution and have 70c to spend.

Yup. Didn't think much. Did I mention that I'm feverish (and in the office since there was an intervention on a customer only I could do)?

What kind of nut would you use when the first breaks at 50 and the second one at 25?
