I'm pretty sure we all used to that and it was mostly fine.
I get that the mainstream computer user has been lost to techno-infantilism. But why should we?
- IggleSniggle 5y agoFor me the issue is that I now have (let me count) 15 different devices in my household with unique configuration needs that it’s up to me manage. I could handle it when it was 1, 2, 3. Now it’s just too much. I recognize that this embarrassment of riches is in part my own fault. But this is my answer to your “why”
