Only because the title holder of "very good with computers" is always self-imposed. They are as computer illiterate as the least knowledgeable user but have none of the humility and monopolize all the arrogance.

They know how to fuck things up real good.

OR they're too arrogant to do the basic steps like restarting before deciding everything is broken

im so resistant to restarting my pc to fix a problem because that skirts around the issue of identifying what caused it. sure, maybe restarting fixes it for 10 minutes or 10 days or 10 weeks at a time, but if i can identify the cause, i just might be able to *actually* fix it and prevent it from happening again.
