Your POV is laughable. ๐Ÿ˜„

Right back at ya champ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Don't you know that everybody has that one friend, nephew, neighbor, colleague etc. that they ask for advice when buying a new laptop?

I was that guy and did front line tech support for a few years, and still do when I have to.

Plenty don't, or can only rely on their work IT guy who may or may not be able to help them. Assuming they have an IT guy and haven't farmed the work out to an MSP who doesn't always have the time to help.

Just because your limited life experience says it doesn't happen, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
