Oh, a Boomer needs tech support, of any kind, family, friend, otherwise?
$100/h.
Stop subsidizing their utter incompetence, time for 'tough love'.
A kid?
Like an actual kid?
Free.
How would they know any better?
But, let em know the first fix is free, on the house, next one will be $5, then $10... or, they can spend no money if they want to spend an hour getting tutored on the basics maybe once a week.
Generate fishermen, not fish.
Show them that they are capable, can learn, can solve problems... if they're patient and humble enough to try and learn.
I mean, it depends on the family dynamic I guess?
My older generation family members have a lot of skills and experience I also lack, and the minute I pick up the phone to ask for help they're giving me their time for free too.
I'd rather live in a kind world where we help our little communities only because it's the right thing to do, as long as it's not gone to the point of being taken advantage of.
