  • My elderly dad fell for something similar trying to call HP support, he googled the number and the top result was some bullshit. They had him set up remote access and compromised all his data. Old man had to reset everything.

    He called me saying what happened, I had him shut down and unplug. I recovered what I could but he lost a lot of data.

    This shit should be illegal. Like, I’m sure it is technically but there shouldnt be unofficial sponsored results above legitimate sources.

    It’s not as bad as you might think if you have a specific goal in mind. My scope is mainly scripts and automation (python) for data analysis and productivity.

    My boss was curious about market basket analysis so I spent an afternoon following along with a tutorial and researching and got the data I needed by EOD. Most of that time was cleaning up the input data and troubleshooting because it was a huge data set.
