What is cx and what is PEBKAC?

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Cx = customer/caller. PEBKAC = problem exists between keyboard and chair (user is problem)

Oh, that one was new for me. In Denmark we something similar. We call it Error 40.

”Error 40", where the error is not in the machine, but approximately 40 cm in front of the screen.

Another one I know is the ID-10-T error. Spells idiot.
