I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

If I have to google an error code the OS already fucked up.

    man you are going to /hate/ windows then lol, the blue screen doesn't even give an error code anymore, just a "oops something went wrong" screen.

    I like that, its exactly what it says on the tin. Something did indeed go wrong. When I get a blue screen, I didn't , I got an error that lead to a crash...also known as something going wrong.

    People may not like it, but the closer a machine is to communicating in a human like manner the better it is.

    And everyone who is tasked with fixing your constantly crashing shit doesn't like that, because it gives precisely zero actionable information with which to prevent future crashes. I may as well pull out my tarot deck to diagnose your problem. It's worse than useless, it's actively insulting.

    All computers communicate like humans. They are designed and built by humans after all and behave exactly as instructed, which is the origin of bugs and crashes. What you are referring to is talking in a dumbed down fashion so that you do not need to bother yourself. I guess many non-English speakers are not talking in a human manner in your opinion as well?
