So a couple of customers have complained about my excessive use of technical jargon. I thought I was good at simplifying everything to make communication easier, but now I'm questioning my ability to do so. How can I handle this?

Talk to them like they are babies. It is all these ignoramuses understand. Sad how stupid people are.

The idea of still struggling with the I ternet after it has been available for 30 years is laughable to me.

Try to record yourself and listen to how you deliver your instructions. I know where you are coming from because sometimes we don't know what can be used as an alternative for technical terms. Sometimes I just set examples. Lol.

When I'm super frustrated with a user because they seemingly never worked with a PC before, I start my tickets with, "Since I don't know what you have already tried, let's work on the basics first to see if we missed something." and that will include simple stuff like restarting a browser :D
