    “I’m not raising end users…get your shit together kid.”

    Quite an important thing. That’s also important if you help your parents/grandparents with something. Guide the through it so you hopefully dont have to help them next time.

      Not really. It takes a lot of experience to sort the legit from the not legit.

      I’m starting to get to a point in my career where I have to turn down helping my family.

      I strongly encourage the elderly to “just get an iPad” if they have an iPhone and just drop x86 devices all together. It’s way less headache.

      Luckily my mom’s still young and proficient enough with computers and phones.
