They still ask you why their garbage doesn't work or how to run a PDF.
I'm not even a computer programmer, I do industrial automation!

You're getting downvoted because you didn't get reference.

It was an Apple ad where some actress from Stranger Things said that after somebody asked her what she was doing on her computer (IPad).

It wasn't well received because it was almost a celebration of customer ignorance. But in recent decades that seems to be the case with their marketing.

how to run a PDF

Not that stupid. PDF is scriptable.

It was plenty stupid in that context

Just make it executable using chmod +x and call it like you would just anything you want to "run".
If it "does not work" then you need to change your CPU by getting another motherboard. That will be $3k
