You know the ones. They can't find their files. They're terrified of clicking the wrong thing. They almost fell for a scam text last week. They want to learn, but everything online is full of jargon that makes them feel dumb. That's exactly why I built Plain English IT. It's a free community where people can get real tech help and learn to stay safe online — in plain English, no jargon, no judgment, no question too basic. Real example: a member recently joined, barely knowing how to navigate Google Drive. By Day 3, they had built their own file system and cut their morning routine from 2 hours to 15 minutes. They were able to get their life back and be so much more productive. Her words: "Thank you for teaching me something I could understand in plain English."

What if there was a community for people who are tired of pretending they understand technology? Not coding. Not AI prompts. Not cybersecurity certifications. Just real-world tech. The stuff that actually frustrates people every day: • Scam texts• Passwords• Slow computers• Weird error messages• Missing files• Browser issues• Phone problems• “What button do I click?” moments I built Plain English IT because I’ve spent over a decade in IT and cybersecurity, and I’ve seen how often people feel embarrassed to ask what they think are “basic” questions. My belief: Technology shouldn’t make you feel stupid. So I created a place where no question is too basic and every answer is in plain English.

🤖 AI-generated code security — what real studies show Across multiple evaluations of AI-written code: * Around 40–50% of generated code contains security vulnerabilities (depending on task and context) * Even advanced models (including Claude-level systems) still produce high-severity issues in real tests * The patterns are often repeatable, not random: * missing authentication checks * broken access control (IDOR) * unsafe data handling --- 🧠 Key reality AI code usually works — but it can quietly miss the security layer. The issue isn’t “bad AI code”. It’s predictable blind spots in security thinking 🔗https://www.skool.com/upgraded-4638/about

Hi everyone! I’m Paul, the creator of Plain English IT! I’d love to collaborate! Plain English IT — tech help for people who feel dumb around technology (and shouldn’t). You know that family member who calls you to fix the Wi-Fi? Writes passwords in a notebook, panics at pop-ups, asks the kids — who sigh and fix it without explaining? That’s who I help. Usually 50+, smart, capable people who were just never spoken to like humans when it comes to tech. I spent 10+ years in IT and cybersecurity and got tired of watching good people feel stupid over stuff that was only ever explained badly. So I built a place with no jargon, no judgment, and no question too basic. But here’s something I didn’t expect — it’s been just as useful for fellow creators and Skool owners. Last week a member was spending an hour posting to her communities because her files were everywhere and she worked off a sticky note. I showed her a simple way to organize her Google Drive — folders that actually match how her brain works — and she cut that down to a few minutes. Her words after: she went from “I don’t see how this helps me” to building her own system and loving it. So if you’re drowning in your own digital mess, or you’ve got a parent/client/friend who’s nervous around tech — come say hi.
