I provide my father-in-law the bimonthly service (~once every two months ๐Ÿค“) of listening to him explain that people he's calling on his cell can't hear him. Then I tell him to call me, and reassure him that I can hear him just fine. Which is true.

For someone who I recently noticed doesn't understand the concept of what the task bar represents and is always just clicking on the icon he wants next, he doesn't need help to argue on Facebook and YouTube comments.

edit: windows 11 Is profoundly immoral and also bad quality software and when they force the switch it was the end of me ever using another Microsoft product

Isn't that just the way of it? Older folks sure need technical help when it's something they don't want to figure out and can get you to deal with for them or get around not knowing, but when it comes to being Karens or practicing really bad "netiquette", magically it's easy for them... I'm lucky, my dad's pretty tech savvy, and my mum is embarrassed to ask people for tech help and usually tries him first, and I have a far more extroverted kid brother all the extended family ask for anything first. So I don't have to provide IT services to aging relatives.

Yes. Winblows 11 is god awful and I refuse to ever use another Microslop product after that dumpster fire.
