92 here. My boys 10 and 8 have their own machines, they are told to Google it first before I come help.

"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.

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.
