Technologically impaired pervy old people and Windows are always a bad mix.
I was once the trigger to fire an old accounting guy from a company because I was helping him do something with a cloud feature of office and a porn notification showed up. He had inadvertently installed some notifications from a porn website.
After the awkwardest silence in history I had to inform him that I needed to report that to management. He just said, ok.
IT later discovered that he was not only watching porn on company time. He was also taking creep pictures of female coworkers and saving them to the company gdrive. Upon further notice, he was not only a pervert, he was also embezzling money. We had to file several criminal charges against him.
I guess the old adage of ‘break only one law at a time’ holds true. If he weren’t a pervert we never would’ve noticed the stealing.
Yup! Actually, it’s not just old age, alcohol played a part too. Old + alcohol + Microsoft’s intrusive policies do lead to problems. Didn’t lose a job though, since it was clearly a mistake and he didn’t technically violate any rule. At the same workplace though, yhere was a guy who worked with the police department who did diddle kids, and they found out in a similar way (though that guy did kill himself though before going to court).

I worked Apple support for a while and I’d have people call in convinced of the craziest things about their devices.
