  • When I was a kid I remember being confused at what the installation questions were.

    If I were my own parent, I’d explain how the OS can sort itself (FHS, Windows, macOS). This gives confidence for installing and inspecting software.

    Next, I’d explain how drives work and how they’re represented in different systems. That means partitions and formatting too.

    That would then take me to explaining what’s involved in OS installs, erasing everything, dual booting, retaining personal files, etc.

  • Separate to idiotic moves to make standalone software phone home, we do need to have updated laws that deal with products and services that depends on third party infrastructure to exist.

    For example, many cloud dependent “smart” home products have been crippled or bricked by their vendors disabling or limiting cloud services. In those cases, consumers deserve a remedy if the change happens soon enough after purchase.

    And should vendors be required to open their hardware once it exits support?
