I’m not tech-savvy at all, so it will depend on the issue. Some technical and software issues are quite easy to solve but I wouldn’t touch a hardware problem. Anyway, I have an annual contract with a computer technician and all the maintenance is done online and if there is a serious problem that she can’t fix online she will visit me promptly (it has happened twice or thrice).

A main reason for having little tech problems is NOT using Windows.
There's more issues with the internet connection sometimes, but they don't last very long fortunately (and I hope this will not change!) - this is the weakest spot for those of us who work only remote (and don't use Windows).
Also browser issues can be very frustrating.

Currently trying to fix printer 11:42

I don't have technical problems much, but I am currently trying to get my printer to work (unsuccessfully). I think the heat has gone to its head.
