For fucks sake, mum. You have been working with computers since the seventies. How can you not know a single one of your passwords?

    Just here to brag that when my dad upgraded to windows 11, he was tricked into making a microsoft365 acct which was promptly compromised.

    So I walked him through the process of downloading a Linux mint iso, checking the hash in powershell, downloading rufus, prepping install media, and getting him off windows for the remainder of his life.

    I had no eyes on the situation. All over the phone. His browser was giving malware results for everything so no downloads could be trusted.

    2 years on his only complaint is occasional printer problems. He’s in his 70s.
