I'm not much good with phones or iPads, etc, but am with a lap top.
Certainly good enough that when my folks get a new lap top I get the joy of setting it up and hearing my mum spend the next hour saying, 'But that IS the password,' to everything she can no longer log into.

When we updated my parents laptop to windows 10, years ago we left the password in large letters on a piece of paper in front of the screen. They used every password but that one |

I can only manage the most very basic of things ( I don’t manage those a lot of the time) on the smart phone or laptop, anything beyond that is a foreign world to me.
I have to get assistance quite a lot of the time |

I work in tech. I’m not at all tech savvy and once had to have instructions left for me on how to use the sky remote.
Sooner or later they’ll work out that I don’t know what I’m doing but it’s been a few years now🤔 |

Very tech savvy, but apparently shit at connecting with like minded individuals here! So in summary I could register and log on but then flame out. But, having fun watching crazy Trump give a rambling speech. Dementia much? |

"I used to think I was shit hot but the older the get the less I care.
I'd be quite happy with a homestead or living in the woods."
Can relate but I was never hot shit anyway or tried to be really. Maybe one of the relieving things about growing older, and experiencing stuff, and being around people is that you care less and less other than curiosity or learning about what other people are doing and where on the social hierarchy they seem to be. I'm still stuck mentally in Windohs 95 and ME (what a nightmare) with burning time in Minesweeper, Solitaire and Skifree and breaking discworld floppy discs under the chair. Seeing Matthew Perry all over the news reminded me when he did a promo for 95 back then with Jennifer Aniston.
2 years ago I chopped up 2 trees cut down as rounds into logs and stacked them over a summer something I'd never done before or thought I could do. You can see guys in their 60s doing things like that one famous one was Dick Proenneke (no joke name). |

Had a similar thing when they attempted to raise my broadband cost and extolled the greatness of the full fibre service i was receiving...until i pointed out to them how much shit they were talking, told them exactly how the local cabinet was fudged and incorrectly described as full fibre and gave them the exact location the actual fibre bit starts- which is about 4 miles from my house....kind of took the wind out os their sales pitch a little  |

"Are you a genius wizard with all things technology wise?
Or like us complete technophobes and still on dial up and playing snakes on a Nokia 3310 ?"
I have electronics and computer science under my curriculum. Did you need help/advice on anything? |

Phones, computers, laptops I'm great with. Even down to changing out hardware and rebuilds
But telly boxes, no....I have a fancy fandangled telly but if I have to do anything other than find the Netflix button or find Sky then I have to call in my son to sort it   |
