    Last time you loaded software onto your system using CD-Roms?

    Been a minute. You can do it all via USB now. Even making installable OS’s via thumb drives.

    Do you smoke, vape, or chew tobacco?

    I went from smoking to vaping, and I weaned myself off of that into salt mix pouches. Not one of my brightest decisions. Tbh, vaping was harder to get off of just because I can sit in my house and do it all day, so it was less the nicotine addiction than the habit of inhaling something.

    Snowflakes and Chainsaws lol

    Ive never heard of the chainsaw term before… It’s definitely comical, though it is sad when you meet someone that’s a walking negative stereotype of whatever political extreme. It’s like “oh… you’re where all the jokes stem from…” It’s also sad how the news sites are extremely biased. They...

    Charging phone at the airport?

    That’s if you use the USB ports. If you use the wall outlet, it’s 100% safe. As your charging brick only delivers electricity.

    Cover your webcam?

    The stuff people use to hack the government is significantly more complicated than what happens to the average internet user, as it’s a targeted attack made with billions of dollars of R&D. The average internet user isn’t a targeted attack, and is mostly trying to catch low hanging fruit...

    Cover your webcam?

    If you guys practice good internet security, your chances of running into someone hacking your webcam is slim.

    Touch screen monitor

    I have two touchscreen laptops. I can see it being useful for those who draw or like handwriting notes. Outside of that, it feels more combersome to use. It's like... I'm already using the mouse or trackpad, so taking my hand off of it to reach the screen feels like unecessary work.

    Fixed my Computer!

    I honestly have no idea what you claimed to have done, or what your issue was. Did you just need to reboot your computer or what?

    I don’t care bough about her to complain.

    Google Stadia shutting down

    Doesn’t surprise me, Google seemed half invested in the project. The part I thought was dumb was how you have to pay for the service, on top of buying the individual games that you don’t own. It’s like paying for Netflix, but you still have to buy each individual episode or show just to stream...

    Did you use Bluetooth Hardware?

    If the file is infected with a virus, whether or not you’re using a cable won’t change the status of the virus.

    Marijuana: Should it be legal?

    Weed’s less destructive than alcohol. I do think it’s hilarious that people keep trying to push that it’s not addictive, despite using all of these synonyms (like weed habit) as a way to dance around it. Like, how many different ways can we say someone’s addicted without actually saying it’s...

    Worst fast food chain restaurant

    Until I very recently found a good one, I thought Jack in the Box was incredibly mediocre. I’m not used to living in a place that had one, but I was excited to try it out. It wasn’t disgusting or anything, but I thought it just wasn’t memorable in the slightest for me. Other fast food chains...

    When was the last time you backed up your data?

    I just have things locally and on my file server. I don’t use encryption because they have to break into my house to get to it in the first place.

    Do you overshare on social media?

    Just don’t post stuff like your credit card account, home address, and your driver’s license. Don’t go too crazy with the outside of your house either. There’s easy ways to get that information without your social media account anyway…

    Are you protected behind a firewall and a VPN?

    I use this stuff at work, and know what they do, so they’re unnecessary in my home life. I only use the VPN for accessing geo restricted content. Also, a lot of people using this stuff don’t actually know what they do, and continue with unsafe practices making these pointless. Using a VPN on...

    Can you tell a secure website from one that isn’t?

    I know on Chrome there's usually a lock on the URL if it's secure. It's not 2008 anymore.

    What’s worse?

    I hate runny noses, I usually stuff tissues inside like I have a bloody nose.

    How much do you change when you know no one is around?

    I’m just quieter when nobody is around, because… nobody is around.
