These are marked with a green/purple skull next to the file in search results.

do you think gen-z is able to somehow hover over the icons to see the tooltip and understand what these skulls are for when they're using their phone for everything?

Who is torrenting stuff on their PHONE?!

(Unless using it to control their PC remotely)

it was mostly a joke and an exaggeration, but it still baffles me how much more they use their phone for things that objectively one can do much easier in a pc or laptop. Like things that require you to have 5-10 tabs open and constantly jump between them to compare things or fill a form with 20 fields etc
