Can we stop throwing around “autistic” for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It as nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things then that.
A home-built (from a set) one-board computer counts as what?
The Picard Maneuver, inciting violence once again, I see. tips fedora
Is Dragon 32 a Mac or Windows computer?
I started on Commodore (Vic20 that I don’t remember much, C64, and A500) mostly with a tiny bit of Atari and then was on Windows at home for decades (I tried installing Linux (Mandrake and Redhat) back when it fit on a floppy, but without a lot of success). I guess I’m too old and not neurotypical enough?
I take it someone has already pointed out that excluded was the word wanted?
Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.
I’m curious what her hypothesis is, I don’t think there is a correlation at all personally, seen a ton of people who know nothing about their computers regardless of Mac/Windows as their primary os.
Should’ve written “Mac PCs” just to mess with people.
The thing with Macs is you don’t have to spend 80% of your time troubleshooting them. I love my Mac and OS X. I boot it up, log in, and don’t have to think about it. The UI is very intuitive and easy to use as well.
If you’ve had to mess around with EMM386 and HIMEM settings to play Wing Commander 2, you win.
Is the hypothesis that Windows being constantly broken forces you to learn how to fix it ? Because that’s kinda what happened to me 😆
I grew up on Mac and only switched to Windows when I was 30. lol
I still wonder what Linux is like… It’s probably cool.
My first experience with Linux was at 10 years old or so. I had a netbook that I’d installed Ubuntu on.
Flash forward nearly 14 years and I use Arch as pretty much a daily driver these days.
I learned because I was torrenting and broke the family windows computer. It was either fix it or get grounded.
