If it's a software issue just tell them to install gnu/linux. That might make their issues worse but at least you converted someone to the cult religion!
I’ve done that to my sister. At least now I know what the problem might be. I have no idea how Windows works anymore. Haven’t touched that wretched thing in the last decade or so.
I DIDN’T wanna base any information/help on 10 year old knowledge. That’s why I asked her to switch, so that I can actually help her out using up to date knowledge.
If your ability to help is 10 years old as well it might indeed be a good idea to recommend something you know more about. I'm in the same boat, I lost almost all memory of Windows troubleshooting over the last years. It's not been a decade, but Windows 8 was the last version I touched.
Same here but when someone asks me a question about iPhones. I know very little about them since I use android, but since I’m the “computer guy” I must be able to fix iphones too
Yup. Someone asked my grandma why she has an Android instead of an iPhone and it's literally because it was such a pain in the ass trying to help her with the iPhone when she had one. My work phone is now an iPhone and I still hate it.
Also I somehow became "The Mac Expert" at work and have no fucking clue how.
Hey i know you work as a programmer, i wanna but nintendo switch and play cyberpunk. Should i buy blue/red or grey version? What is the difference between lite and oled?
