    They don’t own a printer then. Or any IOT device. Luckily, the same goes for me.

    Removing the word “windows” in the last frame and also “your dad installs it for your dumb mom” to “your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!”

    Teaching “children” that technical tasks are for dady to do is so cringe.

    Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.

      Yeah it seems to be from the early 2010s, some of the wording would probably be different if it was made today

      I agree the language should be adjusted but it doesn’t say or even imply the mom is dumb, that’s a little bit of a stretch.

      It’s clearly the old Microsoft. Current Microsoft would be “Microsoft windows azure home server 365 copilot+Server cloud” (yes it says server twice)

      It’s on the very first page, opposite to the office server page, and they acknowledge the Author does not exist and that it’s basically an ad for Windows server.

    Big people have a server at the “office”.
    The office is a boring place where big people go and do boring things.
    Offices are why big people get grumpy, and say bad words.
    But guess what?
    Some servers aren’t boring.
    They don’t go in offices…they go in houses!
    Maybe in your house!
    How does it get there?
    When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much,
    the daddy wants to give the mommy a special gift.

      I knew someone who threw away a laptop because the screen broke.

      They see junk

      I see a new home server with built in ups, just rip off the screen.
