@robinhood@yiff.life It's a source of constant frustration for my wife that I don't know how to solve *any computer problems at all* based on how she describes them, but can generally do it by clicking around randomly until I find the option that might fix it, which I have no idea what it might be called until I see it, and will *instantly* forget afterwards.

@petealexharris@mastodon.scot @robinhood@yiff.life Agreed here 100% Many times my partner will ask me how do to X in some app or another. I will vaguely recall that some app that did a similar task on some obsolete operating system had an option for that in the menus. I'll tell you though, going through menus and sub-menus on most apps now looking for something takes a lot of endurance.

@petealexharris@mastodon.scot @robinhood@yiff.life This! My husband thinks I can just tell him the solution to his computer problem but actually I just need to sit in his chair & click around until something looks like the likely option. He thinks I'm taking over & implying he can't do it... but really I'm just discovering the solution at that moment or jogging my memory by clicking around. 🤣
