New Yorker - McMaster and Commander
But they are, and no one seems to be complaining about them.
What is going on here? To answer this, you have to take a wide-angle view of things. What is going on, in general? Not just in Computers. The situation in the US, is nicely summarized in the New Yorker article referred to above.
The American people elected Trump, and they seem satisfied with him - even though he is a spectacular incompetent. Just as they use Windows 10 computers, that barely work. In either case, whether something works or not - does not seem to matter.
Something strange is going on here, something very strange. But it can be summarized neatly - people are not interested in making things work.
This has been true, many times in human history. People do not like the situation they are in - and they are not interested in helping it. The logical thing to do, is analyze the situation - and help it, wherever it can be helped. But people, in many situations - are not logical.
And one of these situations was America, in the last half of the last Century. This was when the wheels came off our wagon.
