This study was only with 234 people.

“A number of the participants in the survey were IT professionals, while most of the other participants were highly competent IT and computer users. Nevertheless, they encountered these problems, and it turns out that this involves some fundamental functions,”

As someone that works in IT the amount of people I’ve come across that have little to no technical ability to be in that field is staggering. It had a high paycheck so they showed up. Doesn’t make them competent computer users.

Lemmy pointed me to another study a bit ago. It was ~216K people ages 16-65 and multiple countries.

One of the easy tasks was to use the reply-all feature for an email program to send a response to three people

According to that study this is where 43% of the participants skills ended(or didn’t even reach cause I stuck level 0 and 1 together).

This was the most depressing part…

The numbers for the 4 skill levels don’t sum to 100% because a large proportion of the respondents never attempted the tasks, being unable to use computers.

So my above 43% is really 69% of users. That’s where their abilities taper off.

Pass in 04401…sorry 4401 is not a valid zip code. Rage.

That’s a horribly deceiving title. They just stayed remote and made themselves ineligible for promotion.

Business Insider claims it has seen internal Dell tracking data that reveals nearly 50 percent of the workforce opted to accept the consequences of staying remote, undermining Dell’s plan to restore its in-office culture.

If it’s anything like some of the other features they’ve crammed in they will ask that question over and over and over and over again until you choose the answer they want.

I’m desperately waiting for fiber. Still expect it to be 6-12 months out but they’re actively building it. I live ~20 miles from a state capital. Fiber is still very rare even in suburbs of major cities the US.

Before it went into licensing hell it was available on Blu-ray. I own a copy.

Dealerships love to sell cars by monthly payment. Subscriptions fit right into that model. Heated seats are just another $5 a month! So with <huge list of features> that monthly payment is only $330 a month….on a 9 year car loan. People will absolutely do this.

Not sure how you haven’t had to familiarize yourself with whatever radio the manufacturer sticks in your face. Even just to figure out how to change the input to aux or whatever. CarPlay/Android Auto takes over the entire screen so whatever the stock radio UI happens to be is completely replaced.

My biggest thing with CarPlay is that I drive a lot of cars. I own two with CarPlay. If I go back and visit my parents both of their cars have it. If you drive a lot of rental cars for work or whatever. I get in, plug in my phone, and boom. Now every car’s radio looks identical and I can pick up whatever I was doing last time(podcast, book, playlist, etc). I don’t have to fumble through Bluetooth pairing menus or familiarize myself with whatever infotainment software they have for a ton of different makes of cars.
