Computers should have normal auditable log files, board schemes and spare parts. If it works right, it should be invisible. If it stops working, I call plumber who will fix it very cheaply.

This "computers are magic" is just BS. I refuse to "interact" with my thermostat. Soon this 6th sense will feed ads into my subconsciousness.
