gollark: I've heard it said that there's one group which basically just wants something which works for some set of tasks and can't understand why you would want to go to all the work of configuring a device the way you want it, and another one which wants something maximally customizable to set it up as desired and can't understand why you would buy something which doesn't allow that.
gollark: Yes, lots of people don't care.

gollark: Well, lucky, I guess, except it's an iPhone so I don't really like it, but it has... good specs and such.
gollark: Unrelatedly, choosing a decent phone these days is hard.
