Did you experience this much growing up /g/? Not just toolbars, but parents doing dumb shit on their computer and blaming it on you
My parents didn't use the computer.
>>54358046
No, my parents never used computers and I never played video games.
>>54358046
No, because my parents got me my own computer to fuck around with. They still didn't manage to fuck up their own, though.
No, my parents luckily only got into computers after they moved out.
On the other hand, whenever they visit and sleep over (my father being a getting up at 3am kinda guy), I find a bunch of interracial porn in my browser's history after I wake up.
>>54358046
Yeah, we were poor, so I we had to share the computer.
>Anon, you need to stop downloading all that music, it's slowing down the computer!
What makes it so bad, is that downloading music actually DID give our computer malware. My sister apparently downloaded some .exe disguised as an mp3. that was back during the kazaa days
My parents aren't dumb enough for that.
>>54358096
>never played video games
how old are you? just wondering
Most of /g/ is underage.
>Ring ring
>Mom - "Hello"
>Me - "Nononononono"
>Starcraft - "you've lost connection"
I wasnt allowed use a computer outside school until 7th grade when i was allowed to use the library's xp boxes every once and a while. I bought my own computer in 9th grade and my dad gave no fucks.

Good times
My mom hardly used the computer. Also it was the napster that was slowing shit down during early cable days.
Before that she complained about her phone line being clogged up.

I saw the exact same reply like 2 years ago on /b/

why haven't you killed your father for being a cuck?
When I was in middle school a friend would come round my house after school and we'd play Runescape for hours. My mum always thought it was a virus for some reason
>father looks at task manager's process list
>any year, any windows OS
>'It's got a stacking problem'
It's been 20+ years of this and I still don't know if he expects it to be empty or what but I can assure you there was fuck all wrong with the list, sometimes it was a fresh install.
No, my mother used her work laptop and my brother and I were the only ones to use the desktop.
I gave an old laptop to my uncle as a gift. A year later he told me the laptop was acting up and running slow. His browser looked pretty much like the one in OP's picture. He also had a shitton of adware installed, mostly from online poker sites. I didn't even dare to check his browser history. I don't wanna know him that well.

Embedding cp in all of your files.

>That thumbnail
nope
>>54358046
No, my dad worked with my computers and my mom knew she didn't know jack shit about computers, so she knew better than to blame us
>>54358196

>tfw you're more than twice as old
>>54361376
>>54358046
Yes, for the first few years they had to pay someone to fix our computer when I had downloaded too many games ;^) they weren't happy.
Nowadays I make twice as much money as they do as a computer engineer

Now days I just act technically illiterate around people even fake slow typing when around kids. Fact is if people think you know stuff they think they are entitled to request straight up magic from you. And than blame you for everything that goes wrong from the point you lay hands on their keyboard.
>>54358141
>Anon, you need to stop downloading all that music, it's slowing down the computer!
I remember my parents saying this around Napster era when I was 12 or so and I didn't know enough to dispute it. Had no idea there was a difference between hard drive & RAM
>>54358131
Sure
>>54362470
kek, Ive been blamed for computer shit when ive never even been in the same room as the device much less touched it. Apparently my grandma thinks im a wizard who can give computers viruses by just looking at them.
>>54358046
Did anyone else here try to watch Napster/Kazaa porn on the single shared family computer around midnight, and had to cover up the dial-up modem sound with a pillow
>>54358046
Nah, my dad has been programming since the 70s and my mom didn't know or care what I did.
>>54358046
Yes.
My father was really into vidja at the time and my mother blamed his games. He purchased his games on disks, Meanwhile she is downloading Extreme_Match_3.exe
I never played video games though.
>>54361376
I feel bad for this guy, I woulda killed them both.
>>54358046
>>"anon your game is slowing down the Internet. I think it's a virus"
Actually I think your CouponClipping.exe program has the virus.
>>54362566
Man my GF thinks i command Linux by shear force of will.
>Anon Noobuontu wont open this book i downloaded
>50 shades of poop.exe
>Honey thats an exe file not a book
>You broke something fix it.
And i can deal with that but the kids... DAMN THE KIDS ARE THE WORST OF IT
>One time some family kid asked me to set up a Minecraft server for him so he can play with friends.
>I disagree but eventually pressured and guilt bullied in to it by his parents
>He cries when he gets bullied on his server by his duchy kid fiends.
>I am blamed for making him cry
Really the key to looking retarded is fake slow typing... noone asks me anything while I'm in my Index McTypey the 2nd disguise
>>54362701
I havent had anything that level happen lately, but ive kind of stopped talking about tech shit around people because i was always getting asked if i could hack facebook accounts... They always seem offended when i say no. It confuses me.
>little brother fucks up shit
>i get blamed for fucking toolbars and slow computer because of my "stupid mp3's"
>clean computer and find 373895993.exe on my brothers user account
>brother tells my mom he deleted the virus
>parent think my brother is a computer crack
>everytime there is something wrong with a computer etc they ask my brother
>he aint know shit, couldnt even open cmd
>i change password of his account
>parents blame the virus
>end of story
>>54362776
Oh yeah i forgot the whole hacking phase when facebook became a thing.
Although smartphones are the new trend with my mom and sister.
Tend to acquire those company locked phones that only work with heir sim cards.
And than expect me to magically hack them.
And they get mad when they say i don't know how to do it.
I'm also reminded of n old story while skype was still a thin.
>Have some overseas family visit
>They ask to use my skype account (On their laptop) to talk to their kids to tell them they landed safely.
>Ofcourse person i maybe saw once before in my life and even then i don't remember here have access to my personal passwords and email
>They loggin and add whatshisface McGee
>Get mad at me since he wont accept the request
>Get mad at me that once he did accept he is always offline
>Timezones. Its night ITS FUCKING NIGHT WHERE HE FUCKING LIVES
>They keep fucking with my account after they get home pestering people they think are my friends.
>>54358046
Dad was an 80's IT guy, the nerdy stereotype and all... He might not be as up to date as he should be but he still has his technological common sense.
At this point ive just absolutely lost my patience with my relatives being technologically inept. Many of them have had years and years to figure out how shit works, i was touch typing by age 9, they should understand how a PDF file works after 20 years of using computers.
I once told my grandma i was going to skullfuck her after she blamed me for the copious amounts of malware on her computer.
Thats also how i got kicked out of her house.

My dad's used computers since the 80s, so he knew better
My mom knew enough to know that she didn't know enough about computers to make any comment
>>54362576
I lol'd
>>54358046
There was one point where there was an error with the DHCP server on our router and my dad's and my computer somehow ended up on the same IP. I turned of mine and that seemed to fix it. He wouldn't let me turn my PC back on until he was done with his conference call.
>>54358141
>Blur_Woo_Hoo_HQ_128_kbps.mp3.exe
>>54358046
Yes. My dad bought a piece of shit with a celeron in like '99 and perpetually visited sketchy Websites for porn. I barely used the fucking thing and he would bitch and moan about what I must have done to it on nearly a daily basis.
