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
The windows machine I love hasn't existed since like win98
A machine I own, doesn't snoop on me, doesn't update, nothing on there but software and files I also own
My web development students don't even know what files they own are. We have to review file structure every assignment that requires JavaScript or CSS.
They live out of their downloads folder like it's a van by the river.
