I've been walking the mall for 45 minutes and my knees are begging to be removed from this mortal prison.

If they could just make a new operating system instead of tacking on bullshit on top of 30+ year old shit I wouldn't complain. But as a sys admin of a building for of windows 11 shit....fuck Microsoft.

I agree. Until there is that one thing I want to do that windows just does better... Like iTunes backups.

I'm planning on building a server that rips channels videos and they can have the app for that.

We are a no YouTube without our explicit permission on the video kinda household. Too much actual brainrot. And as much as I don't like Television, at least my kids are mentally protected from bullshit with the Children's Television Protection Act.

Raising them right. I have a 28 year old college grad sys admin that I work with....I had to show him where windows updates were.

He uses windows search to open settings....bachelors degree in IT.

Yea, my job at work now is to do this but all day lol. I build my network/firewall/and shit and then go around trying to break as much shit as I can so I can fix it.

I remember when proxies were easy to find and you could get to the most ridiculous stuff. We had college intern system admins for IT at our HS so it was easier to get by alot of things most of the time.

Old dusty balls still knockin around by my knees but you better be god damn sure I'm fuckin.

I learned electronics through my Dad that way too. And my kids learn through me with this stuff. But if they ask me over and over again to do something, it's their burden to go research what they need to learn to stop asking me. And it's usually done with my guidance. I'm not actually flippant with them with their questions lol

I'm starting to get to a point in my career where I have to turn down helping my family.

I strongly encourage the elderly to "just get an iPad" if they have an iPhone and just drop x86 devices all together. It's way less headache.

Luckily my mom's still young and proficient enough with computers and phones.

I agree but bing.com is really what they are using because it has the parental controls that coincide with their signed in account.

When they get older and are more "free" on the Internet I'll migrate them to Linux, I'll let them choose the DE and then they can do what ever they want.

Most parents done feel like raising theirs either. They just stuff them on a tablet and do their thing.
