for my next newsletter and episode i bought the bestselling laptop on Amazon to try and explain how shitty most people's exposure to tech is. Currently at 30 minutes of menus and updates. I have agreed to three privacy policies and created two new accounts. We live in hell

I agreed to this thing from edge. I have no idea what I agreed to! But I agreed to it. Also they just hit you with a OneDrive ad for good measure

"why don't you do a clean install why don't you do linux what if you replaced this" no no no no no. This is the bestselling laptop on Amazon and I am acting as if I am a normal person. Normal people don't even know what linux is. They think the Penguin is bothersome

I am done messing with this thing but I think it's fair to assume that hundreds of millions of people experience the computer in a way that is actively harmful

stop trying to tell me about Linux! I have gone 38 years without learning anything other than there's a sickly penguin and a red hat! Normal people do not experience Linux! For shame!
