    I’ve stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.

    He gets really upset that I won’t spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I’m not sure what.

      time invested is his love language, time intentionally poorly invested must be love if its not annoying.
