After a lifetime of being tech support for everyone I know outside of work, I do not relate to this
It super depends on the person. But for my SO no problem. For my out of town family lmaooo forget about it.
Like others stated, if it’s not someone I’m close to, I wouldn’t want to do it. If my partner however asks me for help, being able to help her and solve a real problem she has, brings me tremendous joy.
« I don’t know about windows we only have Mac at work, so I move to mac at home years » works pretty well for me.
Nobody asks me anymore because I insist on educating them on how to fix their issues. It paid off after a while. They either fix their own stuff or ask somebody else lol
Yeah I don’t relate to this at all with computers because of the association with work. But I do with other things!
A friend asked if I could fix the zipper on his pants. I was very tired, glanced at it and said nah, too much work. You’d have to unsew everything, split the seams apart, and sew back together. But my brain wouldn’t let go of it. I already solved in my bed. So that’s what I did. The satisfaction of completion and the look on his face when I actually just fixed it after saying no was pure dopamine.
After 1 year of tech support: “I can fix it!”
After 15 years: “I’ve never used a computer in my life.”
For me it depends, when it’s an uncle I hardly have a relationship with randomly asking me to fix his printer because I’m good with computers. Then no think you, I just tell him to google the problem or ask Mistral-AI
If it’s my close family then I love helping them
Same, if I came home in that condition and the first thing brought up was yet another tech issue, I’d fucking slam the door and go get wasted at a bar.
I fix stuff because I can’t fix myself.
Do you have the source of this comic? I would like to see more
not op, but the last panel has the signature “catana comics” https://catanacomics.com/
the website seems to be just links to their shop and instagram - where they post their comics.
They are killing the open web :(
I used to read a bunch of webcomics. I had collected a bunch of RSS links to read every day. I joined Instagram a few years ago to see what was happening with my friends. Finding out that some creators are exclusive to that platform was really sad. Going from reading comics in chronological order with each new post following the last to reading in some order chosen by an engagement algorithm was horrible. I’ve since quit visiting Instagram. Engagement can be good for getting more views but the user experience is less enjoyable.
