Futureless or featureless?

Eh, colonialism has ended less than it has evolved.

Sorry to burst that bubble, but just because you were never taught about the things they're talking about doesn't mean they didn't happen.

It just means your education system, like most, is run by nationalists that care more about using mythology to make more nationalists than about conveying historical fact.

Unfortunately he's following the playbook of people who do know how to do things and accomplish goals. And they were much better prepared this time than in 2016.

iOS users: "What the hell is a 'Folder'?!?”

Win+X is also great. Especially since the Start Menu doesn't allow for quick shutdown commands since Win 8.

I think that's being a bit unfair to Windows. Some of its keyboard shortcuts are stupid, but it does have them. When it doesn't, the problem is the application.

The dataset ("what you have on it") and the quality of navigation are two very different things. For the first you can help directly to address it, for example with the app StreetComplete.

I am not upset in the slightest. Maybe I should have made that clear. By all means voice away! It's just like I said, Windows benefits heavily from us learning its quirks when we had the time and patience to do so, and with much lower standards than today. The comparison doesn't seem all that helpful as a result.

Mounting a network share is beyond the usage scope of the DAU you describe. They need a functional default desktop environment, working standard drivers for their standard hardware, and a browser. That's pretty much it.

And let's not pretend there's anything intuitive about Windows distinguishing between accessing a network share, and mounting it as a virtual drive. This is just the staying power of "whatever I'm used to from an age when I had the curiosity and patience to figure stuff out".
