  my dad had a copy of solais as he works in IT and has for about 40 years. i was like “what is this solaris thing” and installed it and was like “Wow what the fuck did i just find”. asked my dad about it and he said some of the servers they used ran solaris so that’s why he had it as when his company used to have server farms he would flash them with solaris or win server. most of my interest in computers comes from my dad working in IT/Telecom and bringing home servers and watching his laptop with all the stuff he would do.

    My dad knew enough to not get scammed at Bestbuy, but it was enough for me to figure it out from there. He did not keep up with tech as a hobby and is basically clueless at this point.

      its odd cuz my dad is kinda the same way. he knows how to use things but he doesn’t keep up sometimes and is a bit clueless. he did not major in comp sci in college (EE) so he wasn’t a good programmer per-say and understood things 100%, but then a few weeks ago i catch him using reddit and chatGPT.
