One part I noticed: The backup strategy. If ariadne fucks up this bad, mere mortals have no chance. I understand her very well, btw, as it took a minor data loss to teach me it will happen to all of us. I just got lucky. But consider the situation as an end user: zillions of options, but no clear strategy. Simply choosing what to back up and how many times is expert level IT. Choosing a software package and storage location is headache inducing for expert level IT. Validating long term all the effort will bear fruit on the worst day of your computers life brings enterprises to their knees.

Non-tech end users are expected to backup everything to the Cloud. Not just backup but even store working copies. In fact non-technical users can, at most, plug in an external HDD/SSD and backup their files to it, but unless they take pains to keep a 2nd copy (and both copies in sync), it is no better than having your files on the system drive. Anything beyond this is too technical at the moment for laymen to use. I don't know why that is so. Many programs are more difficult/technical to use than they have to be. It's like some kind of unconscious gatekeeping.
