At least I get to find out why the spyware doesn't work... and fix it πͺ.
On the other hand, I have a hard time explaining to my family why shit in my computer constantly doesn't work... or I'm in the process of fixing it π.
If there are any car guys in the family, simply tell them it's sorta like that. Tinkering is a totally valid hobby, but older people have an easier time understanding it with cars (because cars have been around longer, mostly :P)
Oh, they've kinda gotten used to it by now π. At least that's what I think... they do avoid my computer though, so that's a plus, I guess π.
I have no idea what I'm doing at any point in the process, and that's why its fun.
Or you start fixing something, and you find 3 other problems, not related to the one you started fixing π. You just didn't know about them cuz you usually don't use libfoo for the thing you currently need π.
It's like going to the doctor for a checkup and finding out you have diabetes π... I mean... it's not good, but better now than later, right π€· π.
