gorpoglorp's definitions
When a user in an online tech support forum, especially on reddit, responds to a specific technical question with unsolicited hardware/software advice, personal endorsements of unrelated technology, unrelated tangents, or put-downs about the asker's use of technology or level of technical ability. Portmanteau of "technology" and "mansplaining".
User 1: "I have a Windows 7 PC that keeps freezing every time I start a certain program. Can anyone help me figure out why it's doing this?"
User 2: "Bro wtf, why are you still using Windows 7? Are you a complete moron? Just upgrade to Windows 11 already. It's so much better. If your computer still runs Windows 7, you're living in the fucking dark ages. Get a laptop with a Ryzen CPU and at least 32GB of RAM. It's better for gaming and really worth the price."
User 1: "Thank you for techsplaining. Are you going to answer my question or not?"

Get the Techsplaining mug.An intelligent person who is capable of doing math but, for reasons of entropy/fate/providence/bad luck, gets the answers wrong anyway, even to the extent that even math teachers are stumped as to why.
"I checked my answer 20 times. 20 TIMES! And the teacher checked it five times! I showed my work twice over. Neither of us knows how I got question 4 so wrong."
