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.

    The magic words I use are, "Oh! This isn't Linux. I'm not sure how to use these, anymore."

    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.

    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 😆
