Pro tip, don’t stand there and smirk, she’ll know somethings up. You need to put up a convincing protest, and whine in anguish when she deletes the icon.
In the past this was spot on. By today’s timeframe, your 40 or so year old parents know how to use a desktop PC better than most teens. Late gen X and millennials are the PC savvy ones. Gen Z and A don’t deal as well with using an actual PC.
Have a sysadmin with thirty plus years of experience. Leave the game and desktop shortcuts but black list the executable.
Group Policy, GenZ/A hates this one neat trick
Okay so funny story, I needed to spin up a non enterprise windows VM with defender disabled for testing and got to experience the horror of local group policy not actually applying the disable setting because Microsoft disabled the functionality without telling anyone.
And then I learned you can no longer disable defender on non domain joined systems without downloading a perma disable tool.
Otherwise group policy looks so cool until you run Bloodhound and realize you’ve created a security nuke lmao.
Thank God we have Linux
Sadly my kids got me, someone who’s career has been with IT for over 20 years now lol. Gonna be fun times when they get to this point.
Our generation is the most PC literate generation there is. This comic needed to come out like 25 years ago to be accurate.
I really wonder sometimes if my company hasn’t hired anyone in 5 years due to saving $$$ or because they’re afraid to field test younger employees. I do video subsciption customer service, tech regarding pc/mobile/streaming/proprietary, internet, and retention. Your video is buffering, on your Firetv, not the Roku in your office, but yeah, it’s not your shit 802.11g wifi, it’s the app. Yes, we know it’s our app. Actually, only a handfull of people state issues, but yeah, we’re concealing that from everyone. I really wish people would learn basic technical skills or at least think logically. Just because your internet supports downloading emails doesn’t mean that 4k stream is going to work.
My parents tried this many years ago.
Since then my dad has gotten better- he runs Ubuntu and so far as I know keeps it up to date. My mother on the other hand gets upset if anything at all changes on her computer, and so never updates or anything
Tfw I’m using highly customised i3wm, with no desktop, no gui, and everything is done via cli.

bro thinks he is safe from his mom googling “how to delete linux” and typing rm rf
She’d need root for that.
Mom is an Apple user.
