I did tech support back in 2000 for dial-up and DSL. We were outsourced (though still in the US) for a major telco. We would get punished if we took too long on any call. It was always painful when clearly lonely old folks would want to keep talking.

fuck this brings back memories of ‘ok, now check the box that says tcp/ip and then click the button next to it that says tcp/ip settings’
there’s no button
‘there’s no button? uh what do you see?’
I know what a button is there’s no button. I don’t see a button.
“ok, let’s backtrack a bit - describe what menu you’re in”
there’s no button.
I do not miss those days
Weird pronunciations of tech terms that were not well known then was amusing at least. I have to go clear my cashAY
That’s just regional pronunciation, still hear that a lot today.
