Most scareware is built to only mess around within the users restraints which is more than enough to make the system unusable and getting gullible people to send 100 bucks into the Ukraine.

Someone bash into Microsofts skull that a UI has different demands depending how the main input is. I don't need my start menu spreading over my whole screen with ginournous buttons to pick an application.

On the German Autobahn, you can be fined for driving on the left lane for no reason because overtaking someone at his right is forbidden and a left lane sneaker can block a lot of faster traffic.

understanding tech is still nerdy

What is grating when non-tech-literate people come up to me and tell me what great things their I-Toy can do, while other brands could do the same for a decade.

"Look how great my Iphone is, it has a talking cat and a fart app" (The fart app was in the top 10 downloads for a very long time in Germany, simple humour for simple people)

I gave up discussing IT with those people because it doesn't get you anywhere
