Removing the word "windows" in the last frame and also "your dad installs it for your dumb mom" to "your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!"

Teaching "children" that technical tasks are for dady to do is so cringe.

Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.

I agree the language should be adjusted but it doesn't say or even imply the mom is dumb, that's a little bit of a stretch.

This seems to be an ad for a windows based product. I agree with your points though.

Yeah it seems to be from the early 2010s, some of the wording would probably be different if it was made today
