I hate working with phones, but I have basic computer knowledge.

My da was flabbergasted and delighted when I installed uBlock Orgin on his computer, because it made his newspaper comic website (and everything else) run much faster.

I also put a shortcut to his downloads right on his desktop and am considered a tech genius. I’ll take what I can get. Lol

Now he asks me whenever he seems to have a computer issue. So whenever I stop over at their home to “take a look” at their computer, there is food waiting for me. Perks! I am a tech genius, after all.

Which is why you ask grandma for the tutorial first.

When your grandparent got a cheap Xiaomi and next weeks you would spend teaching where are the buttons to close ads, notifications about Xiaomi products, promotions, suggested content, very useful tips, manual system cleanup reminders, sign in to Google dialogs, sign in to Xiaomi Cloud dialogs, sponsored content on lockscreen, daily lockscreen wallpaper suggestions, system update reminders, weather forecasts and daily step count.

She only gets a new phone, so you finally have to show up and spend some time with her.

I heard someone someone knew installed Linux on their grandparents laptop. That’s one way to volunteer your time.

Install an OS other family members know.

the tech guy keeps grandma’s router and shit up. the rest of the fam can show her how to shitpost on whatever they use.

You just stroke grandma’s ego and tell her she’s doing great and is easily figuring everything out.

Don’t bother setting things up, don’t change anything, don’t teach her anything.

She’ll just use it as a phone and nothing else.

This is me but at work. Fuckmylife
