I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

      There was a very custom theme for Gnome 2 that made it look like Windows XP…

        That might be even funnier, but there’s still a chance they’re proficient enough that they could cause problems once they realized what was happening. A VM would help mitigate the chances of that.

      There was a good version of windows 7 set up for this. Command prompts wouldn’t work right, and really messed with them if you gave then access.

      I let one in once and managed to reverse the remote desktop and took over their computer.

      That was fun.
