My parents are generally pretty good with tech. But where I end up pulling my hair out is when I look at my mom's notifications. She lets any app notify her, and she has lots of apps. The other day when I looked she had two different weather apps reporting the temperature as a non-dismissable notification, and neither one of them was right.
I honestly don't know how we're related.
The other thing is when my mom says "but you told me to use this!" I got her to switch to Chrome from Internet Explorer, a dozen years ago. Now when I want to switch her over to Firefox (not even Waterfox!) she says, "but you told me this was the one to use!" Yeah, it was, during the Obama Administration. Same story with LastPass and Bitwarden. Sometimes the best tool changes, mom.
I'm still having this conversation with my wife occasionally...
Ugh.
Yeah, I've dealt with the whole "why does my phone make noise all the time"
"Cause you have tons of bullshit apps that arent doing anything but dinging your notifications. Let me remove them"
"No, what if I miss something?!"
"You don't even read the fucking things!"
"but I could still miss something!"
You should end that fast. Just recently I had to tech-support … somebody … because some bogus web site sent scammy notifications trying to scare … somebody … into clicking a link.
Yeah, that's a good point. She's pretty good about not falling for scams for now, but she's not going to be this sharp forever.
