    I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

    Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

      I fucking hate tech elitism. There’s a difference between refusing to learn to use a browser and learning the ins and outs of hundreds of different computer companies. Dell isn’t really any better and those are the two main ones in a lot of stores.

      People act like knowledge is inherit, It is not. It is earned through learning.
