But, I'm certain that most people will not be able to manage changing any of that after the fact. *Most* users will not be of the super technical mindset, and most wouldn't need to be, either. The ordinary person will (these days) have a ridiculously large hard drive, and not be a programmer. Computer literacy is not a prerequisite for using a computer any more, as any tech support person will attest to. Nor even is computer literacy a prerequisite for being a tech support person, either: I had to get my ISP to change their faulty router, that was an exercise in stupidity. You can't phone them, you had to do it over the internet, in a little chat window through a website. So, beforehand, I swapped the failed one for a still working one, then spent an hour trying to tell them, no I can't put the failed one back in and continue chatting to you to test the failed one. I even pointed out that if I put the faulty one in-circuit I would not be able to talk to them any more, but they just couldn't see it. I did try offering to speak to them over the phone, but they couldn't or wouldn't do that. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.42.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 7 14:49:57 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
