      back when i used to get burgled regularly, it was great. forced us out of the flat for a while before the insurance came in, far better than wasting time on pointless computance.

        Yeah but I like to tinker when I chose to tinker. Not randomly when I’m trying to get work done

        I am one of those people, but I’m still annoyed when my tools don’t work right. I hate having to fix something, only to find out that my tool I need for that also needs repairs. I use my computer’s primarily as tools, so I almost always am at least a little annoyed when my computer demands attention all of a sudden.

        Maybe there are others that are hobbyists. I guess if you’re a computer tinkerer primarily, troubleshooting that crap can be like cultivating a zen garden, but it is the opposite for me.
