Anyone else here have boomers in your life that keep buying new tech shit that they don't know how to use?

And looking for reasons to buy new versions of things: phones, laptops, gaming devices, etc. Bonus points if they're on the edge of not being able to afford it at all.
Not quite this, but my dad will buy the absolute cheapest versions of things and get mad when I can't get it to do the claims on the box. I'm sorry I din't think this $25 smart watch is an actual replacement for the machine you use to measure blood pressure ;_;
I bought my dad airpods to go with his iPad, he never uses them and insists on using some cheap shit bone conducting headset thing that he wears wrong with the bone conduction pads over his ear holes.
I empathize with your dad on this, one, cannot stand how most earbuds plug up your ears. You might wanna get your dad more expensive bone-conducting headset, or at least open-ear earbuds
my dad also does this, and ngl it freaked me out a little bit when he decided to stick a banking app on an old oneplus 5T that didn't even get security updates anymore, what's worse he strongly refused the idea of me gifting him a newer phone, even a cheap-ish one. like i can afford it, god it's no big deal.
I was going to say most banks probably don't support older versions of Android for their apps, and realized he's probably using a sketchy 3rd party app
