I've done 15 minutes of tech support for my family today (they have bought new devices) and I already urge for taking a shotgun to every thing that is connected to the internet.
Holy fuck tech has gotten so fucking bad we all live in a bubble here but the non-techies face man-made horrors beyond comprehension on a daily basis
