Yea my boomer-ass parents are sick of everything being subscription and have turned to me to pirate stuff for them, makes me happy
Pirate something for them and they’ll sail for a day. Teach them to pirate and they’ll sail for life.
i've tried to teach them before but it just doesn't stick, and im the one who has a vpn so myeh.
my mom clicks on shady links all the time and won't let me install ubo on her computer smh
I was just goofin. You don’t have to tell me. My father took his computer to geek squad because he wanted stuff put onto a flash drive.
Your mom is really playing with fire, and you should make it clear to her. Say the FBI recommends installing ad blockers or something (which they actually do lol)
do you have like a source on that, i'd appreciate it
she's unfortunately got the "you can't know more than me because i saw you in diapers" brain virus
install it behind her back, complete with changing firefox icon to chrome's.
you will notice she will click shady links much less.
Spoken like someone who has never had to clean a million+ viruses off an elderly relative’s pc
