the smart (geeky/hardware nerd/hacker-explorer) people are the ones with 30 things attached to their laptop or computer, or are the actual ones that do in fact need those way out in the weeds options or features that some jim-crack piece of software or hardware uses, or CLAIMS to use.
what keeps getting rammed down our throats?
- THIS doesnt work with THAT
- THIS is illegal to work with THAT
- THAT is out of date, throw it away.
- THIS is now updated, and it wont work with THAT
- THIS doesnt work with THAT, unless you pay for an upgrade
freedom from choice.
