This should be common knowledge among everyone using a computer. It just makes sense to know how your device operates, and it's not hard to learn.
Having been the go to guy for fixing anything remotely computer related, I got sick of it and I just wish everyone could fix their own stuff :D
- LASR 5y agoYou seem to have a frustration with people around you. I don’t think the problem is with what people should know, but don’t.
- jotm 5y agoI don't anymore, because I understood I can't affect other people, so I must not care. However it is my opinion that people should learn and know more. Not everything, just more than they already do.
- matth3 5y agoWhy stop at using a computer, you could apply this sentiment to every item anyone may use. We should all have a decent grasp of molecule rotation and the electric dipole moment before zapping that meal in the microwave!
- erosenbe0 5y agoI'd probably wreck meals less if I understood how microwaves act on foods with varying moisture and lipid proportions.
- jotm 5y agoI said "should" and I meant it. You don't have to, no one has to. People can use locked down hardware and be at the mercy of the manufacturers and support services. There's a lot more money in that than everyone fixing their own shit. Same way people who know nothing about how democracy and their country works can still vote. For some reason, they often want more authoritarianism, go figure. And those replies of "why not know everything hehe" always lead to dismissing the whole argument.
