@stefanoStefano Marinelli @NebulaTideDoerk I got v weary of undoing handiwork of 12 yr old "expert" on his family's Windows computers. This resonated. Donated old laptops w Linux Mint. No more calls. "Expert" now uses a Mac, ofc.

He managed to screw up his grandmother's iPad despite my request that he not be given the password. Did a software update that enabled Siri, which was then activated w a long press (automatic bc of a tremor). I had to drive 2 hrs to resolve. Complaint
