At least I get to find out why the spyware doesn't work... and fix it πŸ’ͺ.

On the other hand, I have a hard time explaining to my family why shit in my computer constantly doesn't work... or I'm in the process of fixing it πŸ˜‚.

If there are any car guys in the family, simply tell them it's sorta like that. Tinkering is a totally valid hobby, but older people have an easier time understanding it with cars (because cars have been around longer, mostly :P)

Oh, they've kinda gotten used to it by now πŸ˜‚. At least that's what I think... they do avoid my computer though, so that's a plus, I guess πŸ˜‚.

I have no idea what I'm doing at any point in the process, and that's why its fun.

Or you start fixing something, and you find 3 other problems, not related to the one you started fixing πŸ˜‚. You just didn't know about them cuz you usually don't use libfoo for the thing you currently need πŸ˜‚.

It's like going to the doctor for a checkup and finding out you have diabetes πŸ˜‚... I mean... it's not good, but better now than later, right 🀷 πŸ˜‚.
