I generally now won't help any family members or friends with any IT problems
I don't get all superior or arsey about it; I just say no. Because it'll be nothing I haven't explained time and time again.
Being able to use a computer today to get stuff done is a necessity and I don't see why I should aid and abet people who are proud to be ignorant.
I was on a tube, idly observing a skinny man-bun scrolling through some witless feed about irrelevancies on his iPhone. He pressed the home button, and I noticed that his iPhone had one pending software update (we were nowhere near a release date), and 77 pending app updates. That's the technological equivalent of letting a cyst grow to the size of football and still not seeing a doctor. Idiocy, laziness and ignorance in one hipster-sized package.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
