How much do you know about computers?

[ryirkil]

Studies point out that their samples can be biased because of over representation of "computer literate" people. But I haven't seen anything more than just stating it. Why don't we check how the numbers look like here?

 

[ryirkil]

I had to be sure the answers make sense, so there are none above my level and they are leaning to the programming side. Hopefully it's balanced enough.

I was only able to read the first two options. The rest looked like it was in Russian, lmao.

Guess this makes me computer illiterate.

 

[K9sully]

I was able to check all but lambda functions, cyphers, and JavaScript.

 

[Kristy]

Only the first three! Holy hell!

 

[Bitchesonly]

all the above and perhaps more when im not drunk

 

[ellierose]

I have done the first 5, but know most of them

A good bit to have my own home datacenter. 1U dell poweredge running Unraid, a Pfsense router, with a cisco managed 1GB switch inline with a 100mb cisco switch used for non-important applications. I'm more of a network guru.

I began computers when knowing actual machine code for 6502 or 6510 and Z80 or TMS9900 was the only way without a BASIC cartridge inserted in the slot. Heathkit and the Altair were in the back of magazines for only half a year's salary.
Younglings have it so amazingly easy. Enjoy your life kids and from those of us who built it for you, you're welcome!

 

[dartel]

All but the final 3.

Yo, what the... that's really tough. And impressive. I certainly will enjoy the fruits of said building, thank you.

[EDIT] Apparently someone doesn't know how to turn a computer on. INTERESTING.

Yep, these were intended for "normal" people, rest is just checking the experience.

With things like Google Assistant and Alexa, you don't even really need to anymore.
There is a certain satisfaction and pride in being able to actually do things

(I figured. Thank-you.)

 

[Ruben]

Everything applies. ?

 

[YIMBY]

I know a hell of a lot less than I used to. The skills that aren't outdated are atrophied.

 

[Lukejuk]

First 3

 

[zooznz]

All of them, I'm such a geek

 

[Doggerman25]

I know a lot about computers and networking, however I want to learn more about coding soon.

 

[Daneζ]

My knowledge on electronics is very limited. I essentially know how to browse the web lol.

 

[shyprincess]

I'm glad to find the on/off button.

 

[bee18]

I can switch a comp on and off. must be enough

 

[ryirkil]

The results are useless anyway, at least 18.4% lied.

Maybe they had help.

 

[Hello^ ^]
