Honestly, I just came home to see that somehow Bing search had installed itself over DuckDuckGo (my mom loved the search engine for the name alone), and that her Chrome browser had turned into a touch edition which hides the mouse cursor. And that was the least offensive change.

Trying to fix her Lenovo Yoga I had to navigate a forest of dark UI patterns, with pre-installed apps trying to trick me into sharing private data every step of the way.

I really fucking hate this user-hostile attitude that can only be explained by greed. I've "fixed" her computer one more time, but I think the next time I'll let her try a bootable Linux distro, and see if she likes it enough to be willing to give it a try.
