Tech Support Gore is a place where tech support workers can share pics of the craziest messes or things they’ve seen on the job.
The extent of my tech support knowledge goes as far back as when I had to blow into an N64 game cartridge when the game wasn’t working. It’s too bad that doesn’t work for just about everything else.
When technology fails, I now call tech support and explain the problem but before they speak I make sure I tell them, “Yes, I already restarted it and it definitely IS plugged in.”
Tech support gore will make you feel better about that time you yelled at your printer at 1 in the morning because you waited until the last minute to print something you should’ve finished weeks ago. I hope your luck is better than some of these people.
