the average lemmy user is much more tech literate than an average person
people really don't know that kind of stuff. to many a computer is a computer, it has internet, and plays games... what's an operating system?

People cant figure out how to connect their idiotic tv (marketed as smart tv) to the streaming box
And others cant figure out how to turn the ac to cold and are "afraid of breaking it" bruh its a ac, the worst you can do is set a timer
