    Worked as a computer tech in college

    We had regular clients that would bring in their ten year old laptops to get “tuned up,” which normally consisted of removing whatever interesting malware they’d manage to download

    One guy would bring his computer and his lockscreen slideshow and desktop would be a rotation of naked women surfing. I never looked through people’s stuff because ick, but after bringing it in multiple times you’d have seen hundreds of them

    Another woman had an ancient laptop that’d probably shipped with Windows Vista that was 1 core 1 thread. It was desperately trying to run Windows 10 but was drowning constantly. You could watch the startup processes in task manager in series which was pretty cool

    Had a woman deliberately hand me her phone open to her photos with like dozens of nudes while she just talked to me normally about whatever banal up issue she was having with her iPhone. Thinking about it I don’t think this was an isolated event

    Stuff on the devices is typically less weird than the people

        A kink? She’s hitting on me? It’s an innocent mistake and I’m just autistic? I dunno, but that’s definitely one of those interactions that I would keep going back to in my head.

      I also worked as a computer tech at a university. Often i had to backup someones drive to cds or dvd depending on the situation. If a folder was too large we would ask permission to go into it to break it into smaller chunks. I began to loathe having to subdivide large photo folders onto cds. Way too many times of opening a folder of smutty pictures.
