overestimating people's tech-savviness

    Seriously! My wife is SO stupid! She can't even setup a TV to connect to a computer. I can't believe she refuses to learn how technology works after her 12 hour shifts at the hospital. Why are some people so focused on anything other than learning technology and then maintaining a setup that companies actively try to make more difficult to use? What a mindless consumer! /s

    Seriously an immature take. I think its easy, and am happy to do it for her. Not everyone has that privilege, and they should be able to complain online about anti-consumer practices without the friendly fire.

    eta: also, SELF-harming?? Pretty obvious the harm is coming directly from companies. If companies are going to say they "want to maintain a relationship with our customers", we can at least acknowledge that it's an abusive one and not victim blame lol
