    Skyhawk Delta got a reaction from Latvian Video in Experiences with non-techies   
    My whole family is pretty non-tech savvy. Whenever a computer problem arises, they wait until i come back from college for a weekend or break so that I can fix it. My dad needs help sending email. Luckily he doesn't have to that often. He still can't tell the difference between internet browser tabs and open programs shown in the taskbar. My mom and sister were shocked when I told them I put together my first DIY built rig in a few hours one night.
    My sister’s old laptop had 3 free antiviruses installed on it for years. She never treated it right, always jostling it around, laying it on her bed sheets for hours at a time. While I had many hard drive problems with the exact same model of laptop, it almost always sat on a desk elevated from the surface, she never had any problems with her hard drive. I had to be the one to point out to her that her charger cable needed to be replaced when the rubber coating had worn away and the metal cable was exposed and fraying.

    I'm home for Christmas but forgot my charging cables for my iPod and iPad.  One uses lightning and one uses the 30-pin.  So I ask my sister if I can borrow one (she has both the lightning and 30-pin cables) to charge my iPad and this is how the conversation goes:
     
    Me: Can I borrow your 30-pin cable to charge my iPad?
     
    Her: What's that?
     
    Me: You know how Apple came out with a new cable a while back, they called it the lightning connector?  I need the older one.
     
    Her: I don't understand.
     
    Me: OK, Apple has a big charging connector and a small charging connector.  I need to borrow the bigger one.
     
    Her: Oh ok. It's behind by music stand.
     
    9 Hours later...
     
    Her: *Takes the cable I borrowed mid charging, dropping my iPad in the process* You took the wrong one. *leaves*  (She needed to charge her iPhone which requires the 30-pin and she though I had the other one the whole time.)
     
    I love her but man her lack of tech knowledge frustrates me sometimes.

    I feel that it should be up to the broadcaster to set the delay if that's the way Twitch wants to do things.  It ruins interaction on smaller streams.
