    Don’t feed the bears. I usually fade into the background when my non tech circle brings up a tech issue they are having. I know them well, they have the wherewithal to figure it out.

    Why? They have also demonstrated a learned helplessness about tech that is insatiable. It’s better for them and me both to let them flop about until they find the resolve to solve it for themselves. After all, that’s how I became an ‘expert’.
