    It’s so dumb that Windows hides file extensions by default. They could just flip a toggle.

          Oh shit. Yes. I need you to press Ctrl+Alt+Del while pulling the power cord or else the virus will steal your RAM and upload your printer to a criminal server in the cloud!

        It’s not the 90’s anymore. There’s no excuse for not having basic understanding of the tools you use in life.

          Where have you been for the past decade? The trend is the exact opposite. Dumb everything down until there’s nothing left to understand, in the name of “usability”.
