4. No recent reposts

Yeah, no shit sherlock, if you don't use YOUR computer, it's never going to break.
Trick is to try live off live USB mode, learn from old textbooks, pen and notepads and a phone with less than 1gb data, to record stuff. Now we call it hard mode, but really it's "just the norms" haha
You get really crap at typing keywords and Google image search and really good at looking through indexes and table of contents for the right chapter.
What I meant in this case was spyware. My father in law no matter how much protection I put in place always manages to install SOMETHING. He'll even override the antivirus telling him the app is suspicious. He only goes on stock sites and business crap and sees no ads. Its always a casino game or something stupid like that. No idea where it comes from
Hmm, in my experience it always comes with an ad somehow... Nowadays there are ads that seems legit things 😂
