My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition). I may be in Gen Z but I also have Autism, granted I didnt grow up with a lot of technology but I always squeezed every ounce out of them. When I was 13 I installed Linux, by 16 I already knew how to use a terminal (and manage the entire system with it), today I would say im relatively good at basic IT and basic network management (although im struggling greatly at installing coreboot).

Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers. I was watching YouTube and a found a video of a 15 year old installing Arch manually in less than 10 minutes on a Chromebook. So tbh I wouldn't be worried tbh (at least about this specifically).

I can use the internet to look at all types of buttholes.

That's because is a SATA SSD.

Yeah, I'm Gen Z as well and watching people use Google without knowing what to put in the search box drives me nuts, but that's why they pay for me so...

I remember telling my dad "Computers aren't that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying" and most people won't even read, let alone comprehend.

This. The fundamentals of things computers do is so heavily abstracted now days, all kids know how to do is work with those abstractions.

It's like an iPad, but has to be plugged into the wall all the time. Rarely has a touch screen, so the only way to make it do stuff is with an external mouse and keyboard. Super useless.

"We set our sights and spent our nights waiting

For you

You, insatiable you

Mommy let you use her iPad, you were barely two

And it did all the things we designed it to do"
