Just the opposite

Even when I was running training in education IT for an LEA my F&F would never ask for help with any kind of tech. If I did get involved it was because I'd discovered myself that something had gone wrong and needed to fix it.

And it often did go wrong. And I usually had to worm it out of them as they'd never tell me.

Because they'd all done what their friend Doreen's nephew ( or equivalent) who knew about that stuff because he repaired washing machines/etc. had said they should.

And even after I'd sorted out the mess they'd somehow never accept that Doreen's nephew had told them wrong.
