The first part of the usual Windows support scam call. This is the first call I had from them. I 'mistakenly' gave them the wrong TeamViewer code and accidentally opened Rick Astley videos and they got quite annoyed with me. After a while he starts getting suspicious. He first speculates that I sound in my 20s. Then asks me to use a different support system which for some reason didn't work either.

He got quite shirty with me at the end. He asked if I was blind. He also suggested I wasn't eligible to use a computer, that it isn't my computer.

The second part of the usual Windows support scam call. This is the second call I had from them.  They called back after the first call where they insulted me.

Once I told him I use Linux, not Windows, he seemed to think I was scamming him, and informed me it would take a lifetime to find out who he was.

Every morning recently my bedside Amazon Echo dot has been waking me up with some random foreign music. No, there's no alarm set at that time (there is one 2 hours later, but it's just a normal alarm, not music). No, the clock is not set wrong. No, I didn't ask for this. No, nobody in my house is pranking me. It's some radio station from Germany called S4 Radio 4. I suspect Alexa misheard me say "BBC Radio 4" and then decided I needed to hear this at 5am every day. Stupid Alexa.

Turns out somehow I had setup a "routine". How, I do not know.
