"Put the thing in the slot".

Which slot? Where?

"Formatting it"

Format a drive? What's that?

"Its nor brain surgery".

Your assuming a tech literacy that simply doesnt exisit in the general populace.

This is lemmy. They think every person on earth has a homelab, solely run Linux, only use social media in the fediverse, and host their own matrix server.

They have no idea what real life is like!

CDs and record beat hard drives hands down. Not every damn thing needs a computer attached to it. My home listening setup sure doesn't.

The one shaped like the thing ...

Format a drive? What’s that?

Depending on your setup it will even promt you do do this, all you have to do is click a couple of dialogs. Or lookup like a 5 step guide on the internet.

I think I'm making a very reasonable assumption about tech literacy here ... yours might just be below the general populace.

your thinking the average as the mean.

I'm meaning average to be 20th percentile.

meaning "most" people where your average would only include half of all people.

my favourite park ranger quote was talking about why bear proof bear garbage containers weren't better. The answer was along the lines of there's a siginificat overlap between cleaver bears, and not so cleaver people.

you have to account for more than average, you have yo account for below it, so that its accesaible to more than 50% of people.
