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.

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 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.

I started 100% retarded when I was like 10 years old and I looked up how to play games for free and watch TV shows for free. Learned to use torrents, learned about trouble shooting and how to find relevant information on the internet. I refuse to believe all kids these days just get everything they want served on a silver platter to the point that they have no need to go through these steps. I'm still doing the same shit to this day.

A lot of us learned by doing because we had to do stuff with files, folders and zip programs. People today don't have to do anything, just push a button and it's done for them.
There is no desire to look deeper into how their stuff works, they just need it to work.

It's good at basic tech support, most people aren't good at computing.

In China, kids are given computer and technology courses from elementary school to high school. In America, we are given zero technology classes or classes on how computers work or function unless it's an elective. This has made us a group of tech-illiterate retards who can't even operate our smart phones. Kids only learn by doing, and ipads and chromebooks are specifically made to keep people in walled gardens who can't understand their PCs.

There's like a tiny sliver of tech-literacy from people who had to learn how things worked in order to operate a computer, and they're in their 30s, now.

Unironically feel really bad for kids nowadays, I wasn't poor as dirt growing up but we were solidly lower middle class and emulating shit on the few "major" electronics we could afford is what got me into gaming to begin with. Eventually our financial situation improved and I ended up getting consoles and handhelds proper, but I can't imagine who I'd be without piracy-one of my favorite games of all time is Golden Sun and I wouldn't even know what that is without scrolling a rom site and being enticed by the cover art thumbnail like I was browsing a store irl.

Tell her that learning to unzip a file and use a computer is part of her homework.
It's how we had to learn how these things worked back in the day. When we had an assignment we had to give to a teacher, nobody was telling us how to use thumbdrives or the difference between word docs and PDFs. Doing it for her and then never explaining it just ensures she'll never learn because the worthless school isn't ever going to teach her.

In a way I think this is worse, interacting with real people gives you the sense of shame and embarrassment that gives you the drive to go do the research yourself to not look stupid, and doing research is a skill. It's not one-size-fits-all for every question, and all the research you do for a problem benefits any other problem you ahve down the line.

There's an age group ranging from those who were at most teenagers by Eternal September 1993, to those born after the release of the iPhone in 2007. These are the people who know how to use computers and the internet.

Most people before that are so old, they'd rather call a help desk phone number than search online, and they still think of videos as something that come on tape. Everyone born after that grew up with an ipad for a pacifier and tries to tap a book to switch pages.

It turns out computer literacy was not some permanent new feature of humanity but a temporary fad induced by special conditions.

>>732371104 had a good point with "scrolling the front page". Before ~1993 average people found stuff they wanted by browsing, in a literal sense, like opening a newspaper and scanning the page then flipping, walking aimlessly through a store, or flipping between channels on TV. After 2007, average internet users find stuff by passively scrolling, which is just a more efficient version of the same thing. It's only in the brief window between where "searching" was a thing that mattered and people living in that time developed a skill to adapt.

It really is just a skill that you learn. Notice China and India aren't having these major brain drains over basic technology features? Their schools require them to learn the hard way on using technology with computers that aren't normally online. So they have to do offline research the hard way in computer classes that range from K-12.

It's just the west who has neglected updating their curriculum and think computer class is handing their kids chromebooks and never speaking of how they work or what they're doing. This is by design, btw. We're being intentionally dumbed down so the world passes our generations by and we become the dumb fuck hillbillies of the world who have to call China and India for tech support.

This is in service to the ultimate goal:

All modern zoomer culture just seems to be black culture but watered down to be gay(er), at least millennials had our own culture for each race (metal/emo/punk for whites, rap/hip-hop/crunk for blacks, cholo/lowrider culture for Hispanics).

It feels like discovering the holy grail. At least the 20 minute time waster trash makes moments like that feel special.

Back in the day you could find a forum page specifically for anything you could think of. Now most of them are literally gone and your best result is a reddit post between a bunch of ads.

fatman does/did switch repacks but I guarantee it wasn't enough for some people. lowering the bar just guarantees it will continue being lowered.

It really is the difference between doing math with a calculator vs doing it out by hand. There was a huge outcry in the 60s about letting students do calculations using calculators in class beacuse it just gave people the answers. Eventually, calculators got banned for the purposes of forcing kids to do it by hand again. We're entering another row over Calculators only this time: it's AI chatbots that do all thinking for you if you let it.

You phrase it like solving a problem has to involve a great quest or some degree of suffering
Nah man, if the answer is right there, just take it, it doesn't matter if you took from grok or a gameFAQ post from 15 years ago.

bro I learned how to emulate when I was 9 because poptropica was down for maintenance and if I got off the computer and got on the Wii to play Mario 3 I wouldn't be let back on the computer for the rest of the day...

They would usually fail out of school, is the difference. If you couldn't use a computer going into the 6-7th grades, you could never write reports. If you couldn't use a computer going into the 5th grade, you could never look up pertinent information since all of it was online.

Sure, there were and are people in our age range who can't use computers even at the basic level, but if they were at the age where they needed to do schoolwork with computers, you either sink or swim.

for the average human (straight white male) it takes less than 5 minutes to set up the most complex emulator that also needs system roms and shit, from zero... and then he can do it in under a minute if need be

It's not that simple for a lot of people. I set my friend up with torrents and explained to him some things not to do and told him to ask me for help if he was unsure about something. Later he tells me that he fucked his computer up by running a .pdf.exe, despite this being one of the things I told him to look out for.

When you ask grok instead of researching a problem, it's like saying you aced a practice exam because you copied down all the answers from the back of the book.

This isn't even up for debate: Test scores from students "just taking" the answers from AI are getting worse

I think it's mostly they don't understand the file need to be placed somewhere they can find later via the emulator's file explorer.
Too used to apps having their own icon ready on the home page after install.

>>732372927
Nah. I emulated gameboy/DS/etc. games and played ROMhacks and shit as a teenager. It was all intuitive and information was actually easy to find.

Nothing is intuitive anymore and all the info is lost in a sea of useless sludge and algorithms.

>>732372984
It's part of the learning experience. I fucked up my PC a few times too as a kid torrenting all sorts of garbage.

>>732373021
Repacks are just a gigantic compressed zip with game's files, crack and the .exe that basically makes it unzip itself to a playable state right? Boy imagine when people get too stupid for even those.

>>732373021

I'm dead serious.

I don't get how zoomers can be the biggest pc shills in existence but now know how to use a PC. I'm glad I stayed a Nintendo fan in the Wii U era instead of jumping ship like everyone else

Solving a problem should involve learning. When AI daddy solves everything for you, you haven't learned anything. Picture a kid that has his mom do all his homework for him. That kid would be pretty stupid, wouldn't he? How is AI any different?

emulating games is already too accessible and should be gatekept harder to prevent more sites getting shut down.

It's a difference in attitudes toward education. I'm too old to ever have chromebooks, but I don't think computer classes could fix this issue. It's more about daily use habits, because K-12 in America is practically daycare, so useful skills are something you have to either seek out as an elective, wait for college, or learn on your own.

Sure you can take a class about what the parts of a computer are, how to type, etc. I had all this in 2000s America. but I didn't learn to type from typing class. I learned from playing online games that demanded me to type fast... to this day I don't do any of the shit they taught us.
In other words, I learned by doing what I wanted. That's how kids learn in a country that doesn't reward education. What do kids "want" to do now? The games they play are all apps, they watch videos on apps, their social media are apps, it's all toddlerfied touch screen shit. So they don't have an opportunity to learn at all.

There was a convenient model, for a time, where education could slack off and remain on cold war era curricula, because kids just seemed to "naturally" learn these newfangled technology things, so no change was needed. Then all of a sudden corporations decided even literal retards must able to use the internet, and all internet-connected devices were redesigned to reduce any learning to the absolute minimum. Now this is somehow "best practice" and shit like copying a fucking file is relegated to college level instruction.

I do this intentionally because I rather engage in a discussion with someone. Unfortunately, people either just scoff at me or ignore me. I can look it up, but if I think you're a capable person, I want to hear it from a person. Maybe I am retarded in your eyes but you're smart through my eyes.

Of course, if it's something more technical that requires deeper research I will look it up.

When i set up my pc for the first time i didn't know i needed to scew in an antenna for the Bluetooth and wifi too work. I just thought it would have an internal antenna like everything else.
Looking up solutions for why my wifi and Bluetooth wasnt working took me hours od trying things and troubleshooting and installing and uninstalling drivers and going into console commands, and not once did i ever read anything about anyone saying to make sure your antenna is screwed in.

It's some bad faith arguing that the step by step guide you took from AI is heresy, but the exact same guide on a forum post ( that the AI scraped it) it's completely fair.

>>732372815
That's not really the same thing. No matter how you think about it, or whether you use a calculator or not, or know how to calculate it without a machine, 2+2=4. But if you get an essay question asking "should people have the right to free speech, why or why not?" and you copy/paste the answer some corporate mouthpiece gave you that's a very different matter. Some questions aren't so simple they have one calculable answer, sure you can use LLMs like a search engine and research the question, but at the end of the day you have to engage in something called critical thinking. Whereas no matter much you think about it or philosophically masturbate over whether numbers are real or not, 2+2 is still 4.

You need to understand the average zoomer isn't even literate, no less tech literate. If you tell them to "right click" something, they'll probably click on the right size of the icon or some shit
