Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
I had to explain to my dad last week why his phone wasn't loading emails even though his phone was connected to the Wi-Fi.
We were stating at an Airbnb house when a power outage hit the neighborhood. The house had a backup generator, so it still had electricity. But whatever upstream switch that the modem connected to seem to go down with the power outage. It took me a bit to explain to my dad, "Yes. We have power and Wi-Fi, but the modem isn't able to connect anything. Because of that, we have no internet. That's why you can't load your email. Just turn off Wi-Fi on your phone for now and you can load emails using your phone's data." For some reason, his phone didn't switch to using his phone's data when it detected that the Wi-Fi had no internet.
I think I'll browse on Reddit a bit after the blackout end and until the API changes go into effect. Would like to enjoy the last couple days of Boost before it goes away. Then I'd fully switch to Kbin as I'm not a fan of Reddit's mobile app or mobile site and browse almost exclusively on my phone.
I'll probably also go back through my saved items to save pics & videos and maybe grab some stuff to share over here at Kbin.
What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument....
A lot subreddits end their blackout tomorrow. Will you go back to Reddit, or continue with kbin and the Fediverse?
I haven't used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I'll stay here....
