By my calculations, about 96 percent of all computer repairs are done, not by the local computer guy or the Geek Squad, but by The Friend Who is Good With Computers. Often that friend is nothing more than an average computer user who knows how to look up error messages on Google, but it doesn't matter -- once they become known as TFWIGWC, they will get the call every time something goes wrong. And they will fix it, probably for free, because TFWIGWC pities you.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.
Apple announced that its Major League Soccer Season Pass (through Apple TV) will include new immersive video content covering the 2023 playoffs. Apple TV is the exclusive provider of online Major League Soccer broadcasts via the MLS Season Pass subscription.

So true I could barely muster a laugh to a lot of it...My standard answer due to these things is now "I don't know you should take it somewhere" It's messed up but I figure maybe people paying money will make them realize that clicking YES on every pop up box is not how you operate a computer.
Tried and true testament. I don't do it for people anymore as well because it simply gets annoying after a while. People are not grateful for what you do, and due to their incompetence, they blame you when things go wrong.
I swear, I've seen people who get emails from unknown addresses label "(nothing)" and the only thing in it is an attatchment, that literally says "suicide.exe" and they still decide to download it and run it and then $hit themselves and don't understand why their computer is broken....but I forgive them because I remember when I had my first computer and wanted to "clean" up my seemingly "un-needed" files so I went into the windows directory and started deleting all the .dll files like vbrun300 and shit like that until my computer shut down and told me to go away. Awww the good old days.
Not a single lie was written in this article. This has happened to me numerous of time and its always annoying
this article is 100% spot on. i couldnt help but laugh now and then. funny stuff. true but funny. i still fix it for friends and family though. i got my standard tools/programs i use nowdays, it takes me no longer than couple hours to sort em out.
when they ask what was the problem, i say its an ID-10-T error. normally takes em a while to figure it out ;)
