    Z is not savvy. They’re basically boomers when it comes to tech. It always worked so it should work. None of our z staff can fix a printer and in fact none are allowed to

    they can be savvy, it just depends on how based and tech pilled they are. If they’ve only ever used a phone for example, they aren’t. If they use linux as a daily driver, they definitely are.

    Statistically, on average, gen z is less likely to be tech savvy though.

    although in defense of gen z, fuck printers.

            probably. I think we should just be moving to engraved metal sheeting.
