Yeah, boomers will just brute force their way through repeated "wrong password" attempts and inevitably make a new account every time and their take away from the experience is that "new fangled technology is so convoluted and never works"
Meanwhile the millennial experience is to have zero issues actually using the product because we're technologically competent, we're just going to complain the whole time that's it's taking unnecessary data, or find weird ad hoc ways to make burner accounts.
I will lecture my dad for having 14 different email accounts and he will retort with "you also have more than 10!"
Yes old man, and I use all 10 and know exactly how they differ and what each is used for. You think you have one account when you actually have 14, they all share one password which Is probably my name written backwards, and you're sending mail to your old account address then getting mad when you can't find it in the inbox of your new account, and you still refer to all mail platforms as "Windows mail" even though you've exclusively accessed your yahoo mail via the browser for the last 5 years, and have owned a Mac for 10 years... We are not the same.
I linuxed my parents to not have to suffer that kind of nonsense any more, and it worked. No more viruses too. Then one day my dad became a maga lunatic, undermining all of my efforts to make him less irritating. They really shouldn't have killed Harambe.
Haha, I bought my mom a chrome book. Best thing I ever did, it works just as well as her iPhone. It cost $250 also.
No viruses or printing issues!!!
