Quirks of different OS - DOS to Windows 11, IOS, Android AND how to make them snappy. Also, some learning on what to look for when you buy, when to replace and more!
Thanks for this. I look at this through the lens of time. All this has taken place rather rapidly. I remember in the early 1980s after finishing grad school, I purchased an IBM Selectric typewriter. I used until the late 1980s when a bought a Zeos Windows computer. We had one for the family for a decade, and then we bought a used computer for our oldest son, and I bought a Dell laptop. That laptop functioned very well, but it was also prone to breaking. I had purchased a warranty that provided for next day service. Over the life of the machine, I replaced every component except the CD drive twice or three times, including the screen. They lost money on that machine. The next Dell was of equal quality, but the service contract not as good.
My point is that the consumer computer industry, as you describe, essentially stopped innovating the personal computer. Its miniaturization into the smart phone was a step forward, but that is now a decade and a half ago. So, I wonder if all that we have is all that we will have as the tech world seems to have shifted to AI where we humans are less relevant.
