My last relationship ended after my insane BPD ex inadvertently revealed that she had no idea how to use the Finder (file explorer) on a Mac. Rather than swallow her pride and ask for help, she got angry and repeatedly told me to kill myself.

This is the issue that I have with our current technology boom. We have things so powerful, yet so convenient for people to carry and use. You don't have to think about how or why it works - it just does. This will definitely be worse than Grandma clicking on a malicious link in an email phishing scam.

Try pointing the mouse at the screen. If that doesnt work, take the whole thing apart and lose a couple of pieces before putting it back together.

Funnny at my job there are these computer on wheels that we can use if a computer in a patients room isnt working. Had multiple times where other nurses complain that the computer isnt working to the charge nurse. And almost all the times i just look at it and tell them the power plug wasnt on all the way and it wasnt properly charging or wont turn in when plugged to the wall.

Nah I believe it. I've only taught college students too. They were mostly 1st or 2nd year students and I guess they grew up with just tablets and smart phones
