Does anyone else on /g/ have a massive fear that one of their surge protectors will catch fire and rek all their stuff when they are away or asleep? Should I wrap all my strips in tinfoil for fire containment?

Do you ever get frustrated with boomers and their inability to EVER fucking know what they are doing with technology, even after screwing around with it for years and years.

My dad and my aunts and uncles are STILL asking me shit like "which one bigger? megabytes or kilobytes?" or "how do I download this program into my phone" or "how do I free up space on my phone" (when their phone already has 90% of the storage space free).

God damnit.... just fucking GET WITH IT. God damn. They have all been messing with this shit since the early 2000s when they all had desktop PCs. Then they moved to flip phones and laptops, and now to smart phones. And all this time never learned a damned thing. They still.... STILL cannot use their tech any better than I could after my first fucking WEEK with a computer when I was a teenager (I'm not that young either).

Just god damnit LEARN. JUST READ THE FUCKING MANUALS OR WATCH A VIDEO OR GOOGLE THAT SHIT OR SOMETHING WHY DO YOU ALWAYS FUCKING ASK ME THIS SHIT IT'S BEEN OVER A DECADE SINCE YOU GOT THE DAMNED THING

Is this a super bad idea or what /g/?

I don't mind how simple Keepass is but I can't sync that shit with my phone if I don't have access to the database file and a copy of Keepass ready. Worth trying to a cloud password service or am I just signing away to have my shit breached?

Hey guys, i'm in a bit of a bind.

Been relocated to an area basically in the middle of the fucking woods with no dedicated internet connection.
My only hope has been to use my phone for a shitty hotspot and get dial-up's bigger brother for a connection, but this is still not viable for pretty much everything in terms of usage for the month. While I can deal with the speed I can't deal with my data limits. My carrier has an unlimited plan but pretty much no carrier has unlimited for it's hotspot.

As it is I already pay extra per month just to be able to use the hotspot, it's bullshit they flat out don't allow hotspot on an unlimited data plan. My main ask is if you could please help this pathetic anon in figuring out how to enable hotspot for free without going through my carrier so I can switch to their unlimited plan and flip them the bird on my data usage.

TL;DR - I need hotspot for my iphone not through my carrier so i can utilize unlimited data plan. (In the woods, switching carrier wouldn't guarantee viable service.)

It's a GSM iPhone 6 if that makes any difference. I would be eternally grateful anon, please, you're my only hope.

What do we do about the prevalence of adblocking software ruining the revenue of legitimate sites? I can't believe it's even legal to effectively steal content you haven't paid your dues for by viewing the advertisements that go along with it, I don't doubt there will be legislation in place in the future preventing it.
