1) A lot of people grow up not being taught shit about computers because they're raised with mobile devices and simultaneously told they already know everything about computers because they're part of a younger generation. That fucks up both a person's skills and their personal perception of said skills.

2) There's a lot of people who you'd expect to have computer skills but who don't. I once had to explain to an experienced web developer what browser bookmarks are. Stuff like that happens more often than you'd think. If you've somehow never needed to use a thing before, there's a good chance you won't know it exists.

3) Today's Windows and internet are not the Windows and internet we grew up with. Unfortunately the kids in your family are not learning HTML in order to build a custom Neopets storefront.

4) Not knowing these things does not mean you're stupid. Knowing these things does not make you immune to scams.

So let's take a look at the scam in the video:

The Windows key + R key is gonna open up your Run window, which looks like this:

This is not an online verification window: it's not a pop-up on a website.

This is a window on your computer itself. You can use this key combination regardless of whether you have internet.

You can use this window to open and run things on your computer. This can be both offline and online things.

The control key + V key pastes things. You normally use ctrl + C to copy something first, and then ctrl + V to paste it somewhere else. You can use this for example to copy text or a meme from a website into a new Tumblr post.

In this case, the scammer likely already has copied something for you that will automatically be pasted if you use ctrl + V.

So if you're now in the Run window and you use ctrl + V, something will be copied into that text bar in the Run window. This will be a bit of code that tells your computer to download a specific, malicious thing.

Once you press the enter key, you're telling your computer that you're confirming you want it to do what that bit of code says. It will now download and install that bit of malware on your computer.

If you don't have good protection against viruses and malware, the scammers can now fuck around with your computer and steal your sensitive info. This can result in things like your email suddenly sending out spam to everyone you know, your bank account emptying itself, or your computer becoming unusable.

TL;Dr: if something or someone online tells you to enter a specific combination of keys, don't do this unless you're a 100% sure what those commands do. If it does happen, do as the video says:

1) Disconnect your internet.

2) Run a scan for viruses and malware.

3) Change your passwords from a different device.

If you don't know how to do these things, ask someone to help you. Asking for help is never shameful. Someone helping you now is how you learn how to avoid future problems.

Thinking about how Kaeya literally has NO legal documents. So like, logically, Crepus had to forge some stuff. Where is he from? Who knows but his birthday is on Nov30- don't fact check that.

Since Kaeya was abandoned, it does actually qualify him for the Late Birth Registration law in most places, and it probably makes it a lot easier that they're in the city of freedom but STILL, Crepus having to fill that up is so funny to me because he is STRUGGLING.

This kid is seven and the only way they knew his age was bc of some wacko they met on the way to Liyue for a family trip, who was high as a kite, being like "oh ya I'm a licensed pediatrician that is a SEVEN YEAR OLD" and threw up right after. And that was all they had to go off of bc Kaeya was near meltdowns at any mentions of medical testing (he's scared they'll figure out who he actually is, but comes to the realization that there's nothing to match him to)

This kid doesn't even remember his BIRTHDAY. Crepus and Diluc literally had to assign him one. Dude, he is JUST mastering Mondstadtian, he's still stuttering. How do you expect this kid to remember if he's gotten his mandatory baby shots? And he shouldn't be expected to!! HE'S SEVEN.

Crepus, filling out the forms with Kaeya on his lap:

"Kaeya, do you know your blood type?- Wait have you gotten vaccinated?"

"…Huh"

"Archons is this why you're ill 89% of the time"

Eventually, Kaeya agrees for a medical check up bc they genuinely need info on him to fill in his legal meds reports and good fucking lord HOW is this kid SURVIVING. Why is he deficient in 9 different vitamins?? Do we even HAVE 9 different vitamins to be deficient in?? So he ends up in the cathedral for like. A solid 3 months. A month where he literally couldn't leave and 2 where he's in and out for tests and check-ups.

(Turns out he IS seven but alchemy can only go so far so still no concrete birthday)

Crepus is pacing front and back, cursing Kaeya's stupid family.

Not for leaving him, no, Crepus actually feels slightly guilty that he's grateful they left him bc it gave the Ragnvindrs a wonderful new son.

No he's cursing them bc could they really not have made it easier by leaving his STUPID birth certificate and medical records with him? If you wanna abandon him, fine! MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE PERSON TO TAKE HIM IN. GOD.

Diluc and Kaeya was NOT aware of their father's anguish lmao Diluc kept sneaking in with a bunch of trinkets and books to make sure Kaeya isn't bored. Him, Jean, Kaeya and Thoma play Uno on Kaeya's medical bed

(No one is winning but Diluc is DEFINITELY losing. Kaeya has 6 wins, Jean 5, Thoma 5, and Diluc none. He nearly accidentally set Kaeya's cathedral bedsheet on fire after his 12th loss)

At some point, Crepus just starts making shit up bc dude he just wants to take this kid in please. The kid seems to know as much abt himself as Crepus knows of him, so he's no help

(and that's not his fault but come on these documents need filling)

HE JUST WANTS TO TAKE HIM HOME AND ENROLL HIM IN CLASSES WITHOUT THE KNIGHTS BEING ON HIS ASS FOR TECHNICAL KIDNAPPING.

He tells Adelinde this in a rant once:

"You forged legal documents."

"I mean, technically? Most of them were true and obtained by legal means"

"…most of them."

"Okay lets be honest right now, Addie, this is probably the tamest crime you know I've committed"
