CREEPINGNET'S WORLD
BASIC MODERN COMPUTING STUFF
Basically, Basic Info to use Any PC for Any Non-Technical User
This section is for people who need or want to grasp the idea of what a computer is, what it does, what it's used for, and how it works from a non-technical angle. I started writing this section out of a mix of frustration with people who don't know how to use a computer, outright refuse, and feign cognitive incapability when it comes to the basic usage of a computer. Nerds and Geeks hate this section because I'm makign "smart things" accessible to "stupid people", and stupid people hate this section because they (well...msot of em') are too lazy and careless to give a crap. But hey, it's here if you want it.

So what this handles is all the basic stuff involving computers, ie, what is a Mac, what is a PC, what that Linux thing is and why only geeks/nerds use it, what all teh bad things about Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc...and whatnot are (so you understand our frustration and why sometimes, you can't get what you want from those vendors). Thoughts on Social Media Basics, why the old internet was a bastion of cryptic names like "ShinPieIzzle69" and "TedFredEd23" and not "@DonaldKSmith" or your entire life story posted to the world. It explains why not to open e-mail attachments, download warez, or go to seedy websites. It talks even about CORPORATE I.T. things like why not to be a bastard to your I.T. department, why I.T. won't give you a purple Macbook (when the rest of the Office runs DELL), and why it's REALLY stupid to do all the dumb stuff you do at home on a corporate network witha corporate owned asset (in case you wondered, yeah, I'm an I.T. guy), or why the Network Administrator is so angry with you asking about Tier 1 support tasks like installing a program or using a USB Flash drive.

And of course, it's all written in my personally wacky, unprofessional, unfiltered writing style to give you the edge when it comes to using technology without becoming a so-called "technoweenie" yourself. Just the basic stuff, none of the blabbering on about Socket LGA495 or specific parts of the Microsoft EULA for Windows 11.
