When you’re on a website or an app, you look at something (a post, or a part of a UI), and your brain just starts calculating how this was made in your own language.

Like brain, stop, I’m tired, I don’t need the calculations right now.

    It’s the same for people who don’t understand basic electronics or mechanics. Any problem just becomes “it’s broken” and the only solution is to take it to an expert and pay for their time, or toss it and buy a new one. It’s expensive to be ignorant.

      To be fair, mechanic items, and especially electronic ones were far more repairable back then.

      You could see, desolder and solder components without issue. Nowadays most of the electronics are inside chips, and only the components that need to be physically big (like those responsible for the power supply) are human sized. Sure, there are some small SMD that can be manually diagnosed and replaced, but even then you often need a lot of skill and equipment.
