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?

      Intentional trolling. My mom is sharp and well aware of internet scams. (Well, she was 15ish years ago, when she did this. She’s slowed down a bit of late, but she’s careful to check with one of us to make sure things are on the up-and-up.) She had a blast messing with him.
