How often are you asked to fix "broken" tech for free?

>>58075013
rarely, I started charging $20 for fixing small things or whatever i felt like for bigger things and the requests stoped coming. Its not about the money thought its about giving them an incentive to fix it themselves/figure it out. If it really is something super small then I'll do it no questions or money but even then I try to teach them so they can do it themselves.

I'm a recluse and don't know anyone.

Around once or twice a week

All the time, but I don't do it for free.

>>58075013
All the time, I'm not being an ass with my family and friends.

i just ask for food

hardly ever

I do get asked for advice a lot

if you think you need to charge your tech-illiterate first cousin money because he can't do a simple task like rolling back an OS to a restore point you're probably a shut-in /a/utist that constantly whines when someone provides a source.

>do it because, well, it's family
>as soon as I make some unsolicited change to their stuff (like installing an adblocker) they call me days later claiming I've broken their stuff

Wasn't completely mad because that person had ubuntu running on his laptop.

It's my own fault. I give family my old tech that works. Always want me to put Windows on it. Then they have a an expectation that I'd know how to fix it.

>>58075013
Never, my family and friends aren't complete retards.
