  • Being “good with computers” is always relative, and to most people computers are basically black magic.

    Here’s some stuff I’ve seen other people do.

    Had a coworker buy a whole new laptop because their Google account had signed out and they couldn’t remember the password. (obviously buying a new laptop didn’t help)

    My mother couldn’t figure out how to hang up a MS Teams call so she just closed the lid on her laptop, which she still assumes turns the whole PC off even after explaining to her multiple times it doesn’t…

    My former boss call me into work on a day off to “recover” the main software we used since it had disappeared from the computer. It was still there, an update had just changed the desktop icon.

    And most recently a buddy installed multiple viruses on their computer after I told them to ‘backup their files’ before doing a clean Windows install. I had forgot to mention that backing up their files just meant coping them to another drive…they immediately started searching up shady “file backup” programs from random sites on the internet.
