    As a millenial it’s weird how the generations before us are completely tech illiterate, but also the generation after us. Fuck me, the zoomers are getting stepper machines, thinking they’re somehow good and a new thing.

      And it is our own fault. We’ve made much of the stuff zoomers are using. By us black boxing everything in order to make it easier, the zoomers have become insanely tech illiterate

      It’s weird feeling like we’re sandwiched in the middle of tech illiteracy. Like, yo, I can’t hold the whole tech stack up myself. You guys gotta learn how to “use the Internet” too.

      My sister in law is almost 10 years younger and can’t even get Plex running on her Apple TV. Wtf?!

        I obviously haven’t tried it but I would not be at all surprised to learn that it was unsupported. I don’t use Plex but I’ve yet to see anything other than an Android TV box support either Jellyfin or Kodi. The companies that make these things are catching on

      Shout out to all my Generation X peeps–the first generation to spend our teenage/young adult years on the Internet. We still laugh at our Boomer parents who don’t know anything about technology. Now we kinda roll our eyes and say “whatever” to all the younger folks who think that we don’t either.
