Just like how Linus from LTT (just trust me bro on the source) said one day he needed a tool (hammer?) so he walked into the hardware store, found what looked like a hammer, and bought it. End of journey. And then he finally realized how a regular person buys tech. Most people do not care, do not know they should care, and do not care enough to know if they should care enough.

Yeah but they could have gotten a Makita XWT15Z 18V LXT Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Impact Hammer instead?

(This is like my niece buying a $5000 Alienware to play Roblox because she thinks she “needs a gaming PC”)

At least she can play Minecraft with shaders.

I bet that $5000 PC came only with a 3050 and some high end shaders lag on it lol

palm hammers are kind of cool, but they require air.

Sort of like how most water cooling requires RGB. ;)

Ignorance isn't a good excuse. If you do backbreaking work in the worst shoes and complain about your foot hurting, you might want to start shoe shopping.

Shoe shopping and learning about new / different technology are not equivalent.

Shoes have a near uniform interface that is easily learned by parents or trial and error. Loading an alternative OS is foreign to most people.

People learn from others the best. Teaching others is the only means for them to realize there are better solutions than sticking with techo-fascist Microsoft.

I'm say this as someone that grew up on MS-DOS and used Windows OS up to Windows 7. After personal exploration, other OSes actually are easier and more stable. You now have to pay me to use Windows OS.

Microsoft is the baddy.

This may be changing in Europe. Entire governments are fed up with Microsoft.
