When your computer program isn't working right but when a friend or co-worker stands next to you, it starts to work, even though they hadn't done anything to assist you.
-Will you just come and stand next to my computer? I need some proximity tech support.
-Ah, thanks! Now its printing.
-Ah, thanks! Now its printing.

Some Indian guy asking for your PC information because there's a "virus on it." Generally this is a scam trying to get personal and sensitive information. They usually use a white person name.
Indian Guy: "Hello, thank you for calling in Windows tech support, my name is James, how may I help you?"
Me: "Nice try, your name is Ker-shit." *Hangs up*
Me: "Nice try, your name is Ker-shit." *Hangs up*

A spin-off Youtube live stream show made by a member of the Buddhism Hotline Rajeev Kapoor. The show focuses on helping callers with tech support. Like the Buddhism Hotline, it gets trolled by prank calls.

When an issue in a computer seems to be fixed when you are on the phone with tech support, but as soon as you are off the phone, the issue comes back full fledged.
Britney: Is your computer fixed?
Alyssa: No, its acting weird still.
Britteny: Wasn't it working when you were on the phone with John before today?
Alyssa: Yes, but its not working anymore. It stopped working as soon as we hung up.
Britteny: I guess your computer has tech support syndrome.
Alyssa: Yeah.
Alyssa: No, its acting weird still.
Britteny: Wasn't it working when you were on the phone with John before today?
