I actually work with tech as a job in the modern day and, no offense, but it's the old tech retirees that I have the hardest time walking through simple processes because they believe they know everything when tech passed them up ages ago.
Or perhaps you don't know as much as you think you do.
So your washing machine broke because of user error.
A phone requiring updates to firmware or whatever does not equate to a non-working phone and certainly not to all the phones of that model. (I have never owned a mobile phone).
I build my own PCs and while individual components may break I can't think of any 'bugs or glitches' off-hand.
And as far as Microsoft releasing an office that's buggy ummm....do you not remember Windows 7? Windows 8? The first release of Windows 10? And now 11?
Every single one released with shitty PC breaking bugs that needed and STILL NEED regular updates.
That was my point - did you post on fora saying what a great job MS were doing or did you complain?
Computer games are not 'tech' - they utilise technology.
