Comment on Online Ads Can Infect Your Device with Spyware
Dagrothus@reddthat.com 11 months agoYou wouldn’t ask your boomer parents to block ads that will likely get them to install viruses or get scammed? They are easily the demographic that would benefit the most from ublock.

You’ve clearly never had to deal with the “you touched my computer 3 years ago and now it won’t turn on. Why did you break my computer” family members. One of the number one pieces of advice for people just starting in IT is to never work on family members’ computers. Because as soon as you agree to fix something, you’re now the person to blame when something stops working.

This and don’t ever tell co-workers your into computers either. They will ask for say, laptop recommdations so because you like them you do a little research and send them some links. 6 months later they’ll come back asking for another recommendation because they didn’t buy anything when they last asked! This has happened to me more times than I care to think about. Totally annoys me.
