Science. If we weren’t stupid we would already know everything and wouldn’t have to study it.
You are confusing knowledge and intelligence
I’m gonna get downvoted for this but… gaming consoles.
Gaming consoles made sense back in the day before home computing took off, and for a while they actually had superior hardware than computers when it came specifically to running games. But nowadays gaming consoles are just locked down user-hostile computers with a subscription service attached. The gaming equivalent of inkjet printers. It’s an industry made irrelevant by advancements in technology, propped up by misleading marketing and artificial hype that sadly many people fall for.
Steam deck makes sense
You’re not wrong. There definitely used to be a difference back when consoles would get way better support and PC ports were terrible.
Sound On / Off
– The entire options menu of a PC port in like 2006.
But nowadays I struggle to understand the point of getting one of those big chonky tower consoles like whatever the latest Xbox or PlayStation is. (PlayStation even selling entirely new consoles for a simple graphics/RAM upgrade, smh).
At least the Switch’s portability made sense.
The old consoles also were just plug the game in and boot up.
No Hassle.
Now they sounds like Windows boxes.
I LOVED how the original X-Box had an “desktop” in it. Unfortunately that’s gone way too far anymore.
Nowadays I find these interfaces so overly complicated and fiddly that it makes the UX of an N64 far superior.
I pretty much went PC-only after the xbox 360 though, when ports finally started getting good. :)
The price of Apple products
The lottery. Falconry. Schools.
Facebook.
Credit scores.
Services like “Grammarly”.
And all this other Ai stuff that seems to market itself on the premise that the user is a complete moron who needs to escape the consequences of their ineptitude. (Literally every Ai commercial.)
Everything.
Dark Souls 2
Microsoft Windows
As a heavy Windows user on a 12+ hour/day basis - I 110% agree with you.
Warnings and instructions.
Warnings, yes. Instructions, no. Though, people are often stupid for not reading the instructions.
Casinos & Gacha games
My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up
