Is it just me, or when you become "the tech guy", family and friends become extremely entitled to your help? (lemmy.world)

I wish I never told anyone I worked or studied tech. Especially older family and friends, because their requests for help are relentless.

A lot of friends are chill with it, and I don't mind doing a little bit of help, but sometimes people are who are OFFENDED when you don't want to help. In the same way a contractor friend won't remodel your home for free, I am not going to fix every single issue you have with your computer for free. I'm happy to give advice, but i'm not going to work for hours without pay to fix everything.

I tried 9.9.9.9 and my PS5 still complained it lost connection, but I haven't noticed any other issues since then so it could be the PSN that had a hiccup. Fingers crossed it was that simple, but I would expect Cloudflare to be rock solid. Anyway, I'm hopeful. That probably is the one thing I haven't changed in all this time.
