>zoomer at work is bewildered and amazed that you can convert songs from youtube to mp3 and save them on your phone so you can listen to them offline
does this happen in you're country

Tell him about spot-dl so he can ripoff entire playlists

>>216385791 (OP)
Why would I ever do that when I can just use Spotify?
>it’s free
I can afford 10€ extra a month
>it doesn’t require an internet connection
I don’t live in the middle of nowhere
>what’s the difference
quality and the fact that my phone cannot fit the 8k songs in my library

The one thing I concede on is copyright bullshit. I just love it when some random album disappears from my library without notice.

>>216385791 (OP)
zoomers have been doing this for over 10 years

>>216385896
you can use a plugin that skips and/or mutes the ads on spotify btw

>>216385896
>The one thing I concede on is copyright bullshit. I just love it when some random album disappears from my library without notice.
Which is why you should use spot-dl and have your own media server.

Yes. There's a clueless zoomer girl at my office who's the most technically illiterate person I've ever met.
At first it was basic stuff like not knowing how to add a new printer, but over the dozens of times I've had to help her I've learned she can barely operate a computer at all.
>I have to install every custom plugin we use for her despite having showed her how to do it countless times
>I even made a guide for how to install plugins and sent it to her, it wasn't until 3 weeks later that she told me she hadn't looked at it because I sent it in a zipped file and she didn't know how to open it
>also didn't know how to zip a file
>asked me "how did you do that" when I was showing her something at my PC, it took me a minute to realize she was asking me how I changed my desktop wallpaper
>didn't know you can save pngs with transparent backgrounds and was manually photoshopping the white background off of jpgs
>didn't know what copying someone on an email was
It pisses me off that she was clearly only hired so our boomer bosses can ogle her. Meanwhile it took me a year of unemployment burning through my savings to finally find a job.
I have to do 80% of the work she gets assigned, either because she doesn't know how to do it or because she's off on another one of her seemingly endless vacations. She's taken 5 weeks of vacation since she started last June. We're only supposed to get 2 for the whole year.

I got kicked out of the RAF for destroying a multi million pound Jet engine.

>>216386044
Why do you simp for her? She isn't illiterate, she just found a good shabbosgoyim.

>>216385896
>quality and the fact that my phone cannot fit the 8k songs in my library
just buy a 256 SD card

>>216386166
>SD card
Do modern phones even have slots for those anymore?

>>216385896
>quality
But you can get higher quality downloads

>>216386225
On youtube? Bullshit. Especially with obscure niche shit. It's usually uploaded with terrible quality and the video itself is 15 years old. That said, there's more obscure stuff on yt than spotify.

>>216386132
Kek, should have destroyed hundreds of them and defected to Argentina, LMAO

>tell my 22 year old coworker I don't bother paying for Netflix and just torrent whatever movies I want to watch
>he's thinks Torrent is some sort of free streaming service

>>216386372
>Torrent is some sort of free streaming service
He is technically right to an extent.

>>216386372
You can actually use torrents that way depending on your client I think

>>216386218
plenty do unless you want those credit card thin flagship phones

>>216385791 (OP)
why do soylennials try to gatekeep tech when you uncs still use fax machines

>>216386550
>just buy bootleg chink shit bro it's worth it bro

>>216386602
yeah its worth it if you're actually using your phone for stuff and not just as a dickwaving decive

>>216386704
You sound like someone who argues about Linux distros on /g/.

>>216386582
Google what gatekeeping means

>>216386724
I just use my phone for work and music. What do you use your phone for?

zoomie zoomers being tech illiterate despite having 30 different social media accounts mobile phones and tablets always comes down to them being plain in illiterate, they simply cant read or follow instructions, thats how hasanabi rogaine sam hyde have a career

>>216386783
Let's see...
>calling
>texting
>timekeeping (including alarms and timers)
>reminders, emails, etc (all synced to my computer)
>occasional calculator
>youtube
>music
>taking photos/videos
>google maps
>googling shit in general
>quick bank transfers
>a gazillion corposlop apps because accessing any website these days requires you to have a fucking app on your phone

>>216386918
I do all these things as well despiute my phone having an SD card slot, weird

Tech in the Philippines moves so slowly that our Zoomcels still know all about fucking with HTMLs, torrenting, file conversion, and even modding games.

I'm gonna have to wait for Alphoids to match Firstie Zoomer Tech illiteracy.

>>216386960
And I do them despite not bothering chinkshit just for those heckin valid SD cards and 3.5mm jacks. Peculiar.

>haha guiz I happen to know about this thing that we used to use a lot but some guy who has never used it DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT IT and that is my lame claim to fame
As if there aren't people from the computer generation who aren't tech illiterate
>>216386132
Kek

>>216386218
Sony still makes phones with them

>>216387071
I'm sure you need your phone, no one is stopping you from buying it. That's good for the economy as well.

>>216386830
i compare zoomers to mice if you seen mice in the wild they just come forward and forward they seem to have no concept of direction or road compared to even rabbits

>>216387345
I do need my phone because, as I already mentioned, globohomo wants to justify spying on me by telling me to install shitty apps “for security reasons”. I literally cannot do online banking without a phone.

>use clone stamp to edit out some stuff for work-related shit
>coworkers think I just performed an act of sorcery

>>216386307
I meant flac for example, obviously youtube would be quick and easy (and shit), but a bit more know how would be getting it from some torrent site
This is all irrelevant to me anyway since I just listen to whatever's on the radio desu

>>216385896
I also have Spotify, but there's a lot of stuff on YouTube that you can't find on the app. Last time I checked GY!BE had removed their catalog from it and when it was on, they wouldn't post their live stuff like "railroads". My favorite version of "don't let it be misunderstood" from Santa Esmeralda also got removed recently. The live version of the album The Wall from 1980 isn't on Spotify as well and most of the songs mog the studio version and it has "what shall we do now" which is one of my favorite songs from the movie. I could give you other examples, but I think you got the point.

>>216386830
They also seem less resilient and curious in solving problems. If technology isn't working, they cry to IT to fix it or lie around and wait until it resolves itself. There's little drive to troubleshoot and find a solution on their own or use some of their own ingenuity. Most are on their phones all day which have far less latitude to solve problems compared to PCs. I doubt most zoomers are even of command prompt.

>>216385791 (OP)
yt-dlp has been broken for like ten days now
very annoying

>>216385791 (OP)
I'm "tech illiterate" these days too. I'm not going to waste hours solving any tech problems for myself or anyone else. If something doesn't work then fuck it or let Pajeet fix it.

>>216387727
It works, you just need to update it

>>216385896
Would smash your skull in with a hammer/10.

>>216386307
Hate to break it to you but there's an extremely high chance you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between "shit quality" and "high quality".

>>216388083
I hit -U everyday
it's still the broken stable release
they said there'd be a new one "very soon" like ten days ago
I can't download the formats I need now

>>216387727
>>216388873
just use ogmp3 xyz never download staff and applications like a 45 year old xexer

>>216387660
this is exactly how women are with tech stuff zoomeroids are feminized and should transition

>>216389129
fuck off zoomie

>>216388193
Hate to break to you, but it's extremely easy if you don't have shit for brains.

>>216385791 (OP)
I got over 4 TB of music, movies, tv shows and games on my drives. I never stopped pirating since I started around 2000.

>>216389342
What headphones do you use

>>216389477
Sennheiser Momentum. Can't remember which exact model, they're old af.

I just watched that new Minecraft horror video all zoomers are talking about.
It's just another "king in yellow" shit creepypasta, baffled how they think that is the shit

>>216385791 (OP)
Yes, Zoomers are on average as tech-illiterate as older Boomers.

had a girl use google maps to get to the main train station in the middle of the city she was born in and lived for 20 years

>>216385791 (OP)
i was born in 2001 and did this on my samsung young phone in 2013

>>216386132
Were there legal charges and were you a mechanic or pilot? Was it a Eurofighter?

>>216389838
women were always like that desu

>>216385791 (OP)
I had my nieces and nephews over and they asked if they could use my desktop so i said sure, i came back a few minutes later and they were still touching my monitor screen wondering why it wasn't turning on.

>>216389838
I actually have a similar thing, I take great pride in having a terrible internal GPS. I also just like asking directions from strangers and getting lost helps you discover new places.

>>216390162
How old are they

>>216390162
my 6 and 8 year old nephews spent around 10 minutes watching the same youtube short and not realizing it was a loop

>>216385791 (OP)
I work in a Polish IT company so most of my coworkers self host stuff, and from what I know most also torrent stuff
I for one am self hosting jellyfin and calibre-web and torrenting from private trackers
It has the best quality and the most choice compared to any paid platforms and once I DL that I have it forever

>>216390191
4-7
>>216390211
sounds about right

>>216385791 (OP)
don't tell these n8ggers about slsk

>>216390443
They wouldn't get it

Do you really believe this man?

Does anyone remember Neil Young and his quest to make a superior digital sound file format comparable to like studio quality?
>>216387660
>They also seem less resilient and curious in solving problems
I'm pretty sure they have much lower IQ's on average. Things that come naturally or seem obvious to us are impossible for a lot of them.
>>216389176
Yes they are all the same in some regards the smarter ones dumb themselves down until they become actual retards so they can all get along and hold hands like in Fairy Tail the anime or a Disney movie or something.

>>216390586
i ve bought them legos and lidl legos and specifically cared to buy the ones with most in number and versatility pieces...they just make the thing thats in the box and then just look at it....and thats how i realized why legos add buildings in all of their models nowadays like shooting disks etc

>>216386132
Lmao, what did you do

>>216390586
Why do you want to destroy anons family

Tech was a nice idea to simplify our lives, but they tranformed it into a giant money making jewish machine that leeches off your attention, your social relationships, your emotions, your cunt politics. And it's here to stay, thirdies are still a market to invade
I truly hate americans from the bottom of my heart
