Working in tech support gives me all the ammo I could possibly need.
I worked with a customer a few weeks back who was having an issue with one
of my company's USB devices. It wasn't being recognized in Windows 10.
Worked on a Mac just fine, but he needed a certain piece of software to do
his job. Imagine my surprise the next morning when he emails in and says he
solved it by installing Kali Linux....
