Windows has been able to unzip files without additional software since like Vista.

>>732363295
B-but dealing with a zip file is literally just a matter of right clicking. I don't even thing you have to unzip them for older games at least I didn't.
How dumb are zoomers?

when I found out about ROM hacking as a kid, I got prepatched .NES files from I-Mockery. Then I went to Romhacking.net and got .ips files and was like "wtf do I do with this????? opening it with the emulator doesn't work!" I was pretty retarded, but I eventually figured it out. I would have been even more retarded if Twitter were around for me to bitch on

Recent versions of windows OS have zip extractor built in, you don't even have to download 7zip. Unzipping a file in windows is no more complex than copy pasting it. But zoomers have trouble with even using a filesystem, so maybe thats a bad comparison.

I knew somebody that said they didn't play GameCube games because they didn't have a console to play it on. I had to explain to them that their Wii can play it, and the slots they thought was for huge SD cards was for GameCube memory cards. They had the console for 16 years when I told them, even when the disc boot up screen would show a GameCube disc when loading a game.

So glad I was an early zoomer instead of a late one, I was homebrewing my Wii when I was 10 years old, and used an R4 card on my DS. And also conveted MP4's to DPG (for Moonshell) to watch X-Men Evolution on my DS at night when my parents were sleeping

Like we all had to learn how to use emulators, and zipfiles, and to setup directories. We didn't know how to do this shit coming out of the womb.

>>732365045
good morning, sir

>>732364082
it's called learned helplessness.
It's the reason people got bothered when you'd spoonfeed people sauce. Teach a man to fish and all that.
But if the man doesn't wanna learn, it's all fucked

I've heard it said that stupidity isn't a failure to know but a refusal to learn. I didn't know how to run emulators when I was 14, I didn't understand things like mounting isos or finding bios files, but these are problems that are solved with a simple search. If anything it should be easier than ever, if there's one thing AI is (supposedly) good for it's answering simple questions like this.

>>732366690
It certainly is. I actually noticed that with my boomer parents and their contemporaries.
It's not that they CAN'T learn anything, they simply refuse.
In the 80s they had no problems navigating teletext, programming their VCR, or many other things with just two or three buttons on the side or back of the device.
Today I hear "I have read enough manuals in my life", as if that would motivate me to help them if they just refuse to understand, or would be any kind of explanation for or absolution of refusing to learn anything.
If I get a smartphone and after a week know it better than my mom who uses it way more often, there's something wrong.

That is a stupid definition, ironically.
Stupidity can't be cured, ignorance can.

>>732363295
It is unacceptable to be that tech illiterate unless you are some 80 year old boomer.

>>732367217
Ignorance is not a refusal to learn though, it's the unlearned state. So yeah, if you refuse to learn, you stay ignorant, but the refusal itself is not ignorance.

>>732367331
If ignorance is not then neither is stupidity.
The persistance of ignorance is refusal to learn. The persistance of stupidity is inevitable. You can't fault a cat for not understand how to unzip a file. Not all men have the same potential.

>>732367509

It's not "zoomers" in their totality, it's a specific subset who during critical periods of brain development only had an education consisting of webcam meetings. Retrospectively the entire initiative was a complete failure, with the corpus exhibiting short-lived but massive spikes in illiteracy and such correlating perfectly with the time period.

>>732363662
>how to unzip
lol every OS since like Windows ME has had zip built in. you double click the zip file it opens like a folder. It's not like back in 1995 when you needed to download WinZip and it would nag you to register and pay for it (I don't know anyone who actually did)

>>732365738
Boomers? Lead
Zoomers? Microplastics (malformed brain formation, lowers IQ, affects hormonal development.)

>>732363406
You're shitposting, but this is actually a huge problem. I work at an ATT store, and 90% of the clientele coming in now have wrong information that they got from "our website" which is actually just fucking chatGPT. And when I explain this to them, there's never any realization that they made a mistake, it's just bullheaded anger over being told they're wrong. And this is happening across most age groups I'm encountering, it's not focused on just boomers or zoomers

It's because computers used to be donated to schools by big corpos as a way to indoctrinate kids into your environment.

It used to be Apple, but then they stopped giving a fuck about the PC side of the business so they donated iPads.

Now it's chromebooks, so you have a bunch of morons using google docs that can only use cloud storage. That's why they don't understand folder structure, that's why they don't have the mindset to do things they're not told. They've been raised in a box and they can't see anything but a box.
