I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

      Young people can (and often are) just as tech illiterate as the elderly. Just because you grew up with an iPad in your hands doesn’t mean you understand computers.

          Oh for sure … I (18m) helped out teaching product design at my school last year (a class of 12 year olds). When asked to open an app, many of them searched it up on google or didnt know how. We gave them the name if the app and only about 2/30 people
