🤬 so Mom called a month ago and says her computer stopped working (she's 89 and 7 hours away)
So like a dummy I didn't grill her for more info and bought a new laptop on Amazon.
Yesterday my brain kicked in and I got the 411, it was just her internet had gone down 😠
And the return window closed 2 days ago... so anyone need a new laptop? :facepalm: 🙄

@PurpleDragon oof.
I pretended I didn't know an answer to a tech question at a family gathering once and my BIL piped up and he instantly took over family IT support

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @PurpleDragon
I was well over that role, it's why I would just play dumb sometimes when I wasn't in the mood. Silly fool, he just had to speak up. He knew what he did too when I said, 'theyre all yours now'
He's tried to bait me into answering things, but it hasn't worked yet. Became a game for a while.

@Kurtroedeger @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
That's awesome, great idea

Sadly I'm It... no one else know shit

@PurpleDragon @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN

There should be a national holiday for the unpaid IT support from family members
😞

@PurpleDragon @Kurtroedeger @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN

Oh lordy. I once had to diagnose AND walk-through my 80yo mom on how to get the battery out of the laptop after a thunderstorm took out the electricity and the stupid battery refused to charge after it.

Oy. Vey. And all other deities.

If that doesn't drive you to drink and use drugs, I don't know what will.
