That's quite a high bar. Can you give a Windows or Mac laptop to your elderly neighbour and not also provide them support?

I realise that I am only a sample set of one and my mother and father have very different usage patterns but they are both in their late 70s. My mother has an Ubuntu laptop and my father had a Windows one. He requires a lot more support. My mum's biggest issue is forgetting her password which is hardly the fault of the OS.

Yes! I hope this is a trend that continues. I remember this being quite confusing as a new Python developer. I was convinced there was something special about these kinds of camel cased methods.

While I agree it is a bit of an unfortunate name the news site does appear to be a pretty reliable source. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/electronic-intifada/
