Why is she using Google Chrome?
Because she can’t find Firefox.
because they refuse to try anything different then what they’ve been using for a while.
Why is she using WinRAR?
She paid for the license, she is going to use it!
Why has she got Notepad++ installed?
Notepad++ is quite peak tho
She’ll will move it away and replace it with some bonzi buddy virus she just downloaded, and then be complain to you why she can’t login to her bank anymore.
This requires more work but don’t make anyone an admin of their computer if they don’t know what they’re doing and you have to clean it up.
My uncle wasn’t the admin of his (Windows) computer, but he managed to install a web browser that was basically malware. The damn thing didn’t require any admin permissions to install, and it automatically ran a powershell script to reinstall itself if it was removed. I had to edit the registry to remove it. It’s crazy.
My mother has the sudo password. It’s fine, she doesn’t mess with the command line unless I write an email saying “open terminal and copy and past this command into it…”
And even then I have to be on the phone with her to explain how to open the terminal. But that’s way easier than trying to explain how to navigate through a bunch of menus.
Agreed! It’s just way easier to explain “open that black box thingy here and then write what i sent ya”
Than “click this, then do that, click this, then write this here press windows and R, write this, the click that…”
You didn’t install Linux?
Misstakes were made
I mean, at least Firefox or LibreFox or WaterFox…
If they were willing to spend 30 minutes in Photoshop, did they at least install an ad blocker ffs? someone gave enough of a shit to put VLC on there at least…
Oy gevalt
Reminds me of an episode of Harmontown where Schrab was complaining about the chairs and Dan said, “can we get Schrab like, a sarcastically comfy chair?”
Exaggerated accommodation. Comedy gold
This needs to be made standard after a mandatory age verification check during Windows activation. Sorry boomers, you’ll be patronised by Windows even more than regular users
