    Random person I met the very first time two days ago while on a walk with one of my dogs: so what do you do for a living?

    Me: software engineering.

    Them: oh great. I have this issue with my computer …

      If it’s a software issue just tell them to install gnu/linux. That might make their issues worse but at least you converted someone to the cult religion!

            If your ability to help is 10 years old as well it might indeed be a good idea to recommend something you know more about. I’m in the same boat, I lost almost all memory of Windows troubleshooting over the last years. It’s not been a decade, but Windows 8 was the last version I touched.
