So this morning I had to go to my mother’s house for IT support as one of her monitors wasn’t working. I plugged the power cable back in to the back of the monitor and the problem was solved.
I’m not sure the level of IT support I provide is high enough to get blamed for anything 😆
I’m unironically like that with apple things. The last time I used an apple things was 15 years ago. Im comfortable doing just about anything technical on windows, Linux and android, but hand me an iPhone or a MacBook and I instantly realise how those elderly technologically impaired people feel - completely lost.
I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I’d rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.
Just recently me assisting thru remote desktop:
Windows popup comes up
Me: Cancel
He: Presses OK
Me: WHY did you press Ok, I said cancel
He: I thought we’re supposed to continue with this

The magic words I use are, “Oh! This isn’t Linux. I’m not sure how to use these, anymore.”
If anyone irl asks, I’m “trying to learn how to use Linux”. Which is technically true, I still learn new things all the time!
