For me it’s the paranoia surrounding webcams. People outright refuse to own one and I understand, until they go on and on about how they’re being spied. Here’s the secret - unplug the damn thing when you think you won’t use it or haven’t used it in a while.

They, whoever it is, can’t really spy on you on something that’s already off and unplugged!

    My mom built computers in the '90s and '00s, she taught me how to use the command prompt to play my dos games. now she can barely use one. I don’t know what the hell happened.

      Well, my mom is a computer engieneer, who had me reflash a phone from work and install libreoffice on her windows laptop (to be fair none of her coworkers could reflash the phone and the second one was probably just lazyness).
