    Prebuilt PCs still allow you to change the OS.

    (100%, this is only my work place) but the most Tech compitant person at work is ‘I have 3 monitors on my home machine’ and my least compicant coworker is ‘I don’t think I have a desktop’ (they asked me to save their phone pictures. Me: Let’s copy and paste everything to the desktop for now. We can fix that later. Them: ‘I don’t think I have a desktop’…

    Yes, i know copy and paste to desktop is a temporary solution at best, but at least 1/4 of my workmates is at THAT level of computer literacy.)

    If I had to start talking about copilot and Microsoft recall, it will fully over their heads)

      Fuck it (alcohol talking now, but I’m confident I won’t regret this tomorrow)

      Me: “I run Linux on my machine” Them: " Don’t run Linux. A good antivirus is all you need… Blah blah blah" Me (arguing in the shower that evening): “well, I think Microsoft is the virus. What do you think about that?”

      Its been 2 years since that day. We still on speaking terms, even though we on 2 different fields of the PC Spectrum. Even though every time I walk past their cubical, I think back to that lunch time conversation, and what I could of said…
