Tech savvy grandparents man!
Mine can't even switch a pc/laptop on.

I think only the admin rights part would help if you remove the rights of installing a new software in his pc. That would help by not allowing him to install any remote connection application through which the tech scammers could fool him

Ultimately, they need money. For that, they need to access bank account or credit/debit card. That cannot be done without OTP.

So you can change the number for OTP to yours, if that's possible. Just a suggestion as people of his age won't be able to grasp new things so easily. My grandmother lives with us, who is 92, and she keeps on repeating things which she told us a day back.

PC....🤔

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

I am currently 100% remote and went through training and onboarding 100% remote. I am now looking for a new job and I have found remote work is really competitive. Any tips for how/where to apply? I am applying for content and copy writing roles all around the US as long as the are remote.

Hello fellow designers!

I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)
