Ok but real advice, people don't deserve IT supports, if I give clear instructions and they don't follow them, it's magically my exclusive fault that their ancient computer had an hardware failure that happens to be completely unrelated to the issue I was tasked with. Please, don't yell at me. My computer, my issues, your computer, your issues. I had experiences that made me this way, ye' old tech wizards in your mighty towers too are at risk of meeting assholes.

So this morning I had to go to my mother's house for IT support as one of her monitors wasn't working. I plugged the power cable back in to the back of the monitor and the problem was solved.

I'm not sure the level of IT support I provide is high enough to get blamed for anything ๐Ÿ˜†
