My first computer cost me 1500 to build in 2001.
I had a job and worked 20-30 hours a week and paid for it myself.
My grandmother thought it should be everyone's computer, I lived with her, but I have a lot of cousins that visited constantly.
Took me a few reloads to figure this out. >>54470874
Got into plenty of arguments about it because grandma would say it was for everyone.
No, it's for the person who fucking paid for it and maintains it and if they don't act retarded they can use it.
>>54470780
should have dual booted
>>54470780
>my computer
You mean Mommy's since she paid for it fuck boi
>>54470964
Why didn't you buy a cheap-ass walmart tier computer "for everyone", and leave yours normally unhooked from the keyboard and monitor?
>>54470964
I encrypted all my shit now, so no one can get access to it. And my mom has her own shitty 100$ Acer laptop now.
>>54471032

Then why would you let your parents use it
Nice try you fucking retard
>>54471182
Because they are my fucking parents and they forced me you fucking retard.
Since I'm the one with the knowledge about tech related things ( and the rest of my family doesn't want to bother ) the stuff I say is usually set in stone. Incidentally I'm the one fixing shit in case stuff goes sideways but that rarely ever happens.
>>54471203
Your parents forced you to allow them to use a computer that you bought and paid for with your own money? What kind of shitty parents are those? The same kind that raise dumb retards that make shit up on anonymous imageboards?
>>54471241
>le checkm8 xd
You are actually retarded lmao. They needed a computer and I had one, thusly they made me share it with them. I can't just fucking say no.
>>54471220

>complaining about moooooom on /g/
underage ban
Sounds like you're the retard for not setting proper user permissions.
>>54471480
And have my mom tell at my because I "broke" the computer again? No thanks.
>>54471076
This. I got a shit tier laptop for myself so I wouldn't have to put up with my sister downloading Britney Spears one more time.mp3.exe from Limewire.
It was a compaq, used it till it died.
