      Just a little… Turns into a few hours or a whole day sometimes, not that I hate it though.

        and that can be about what you enjoy. I like making my computer so shit. Others like fixing engines or playing video games, they’re all different ways to scratch that same itch.

      And technical expertise, and the ability to use a computer without accessibility aids, and the notion of what a “format” is so that they can open their kids’ halloween homework assignment without the formatting being completely broken, and the ability to solve computer problems on their own without calling Geek Squad or visiting a Genius Bar…

        it’s more convenient for me to put a frozen ready meal in the oven for 30 minutes than it is for me to make dinner, even though the act of making dinner might take less than 30 minutes

          but isn’t that just based on the time preference of whatever you are giving up during the time you have to actually think about & make dinner when you otherwise would be whilst “cooking” food someone else made.
