  an image of a young black man, pointing at a computer screen for another user, who is also black with the caption “In those days caesar augustus decreed that all must return to the town of their birth, That they may provide tech support for their families.”

  Which is why you ask grandma for the tutorial first.

  Does anyone else kinda like being tech support for friends and family?

  Idk maybe its just me but I like helping them even when it is kinda frustrating. Its satisfying to fix an issue and I like making them happy.

  Recently had to help my Grandma with her yahoo email, took every fiber of my being not to point out all of the cons to having a yahoo email. I just smiled, solved the problem for her, and moved on. Until she emailed me a month later about her phone.

  When your grandparent got a cheap Xiaomi and next weeks you would spend teaching where are the buttons to close ads, notifications about Xiaomi products, promotions, suggested content, very useful tips, manual system cleanup reminders, sign in to Google dialogs, sign in to Xiaomi Cloud dialogs, sponsored content on lockscreen, daily lockscreen wallpaper suggestions, system update reminders, weather forecasts and daily step count.

  How many variations of this joke do we really need, though?

  I hate working with phones, but I have basic computer knowledge.

  My da was flabbergasted and delighted when I installed uBlock Orgin on his computer, because it made his newspaper comic website (and everything else) run much faster.

  I also put a shortcut to his downloads right on his desktop and am considered a tech genius. I’ll take what I can get. Lol

  Now he asks me whenever he seems to have a computer issue. So whenever I stop over at their home to “take a look” at their computer, there is food waiting for me. Perks! I am a tech genius, after all.

  She only gets a new phone, so you finally have to show up and spend some time with her.

  You just stroke grandma’s ego and tell her she’s doing great and is easily figuring everything out.

  Don’t bother setting things up, don’t change anything, don’t teach her anything.

  She’ll just use it as a phone and nothing else.

    From experience, this is rarely the case , they always end up doing something like removing the phone icon or forgetting how to take a picture

  I heard someone someone knew installed Linux on their grandparents laptop. That’s one way to volunteer your time.

  Install an OS other family members know.
