Reply to comment by Gee858eeG in LPT: If you click "restart" by accident instead of "shut down" you can click "ESC" and it'll bring you back to the desktop stopping the restart. by Xanoks

Not sure... ESC is a key on your keyboard... You can't really "click" it...

Gen x (1979) grew up as computers were evolving. Pre PnP hardware, where you had to use dip switches. Worked IT in the late 90s through until about 2005.

The lack of any technical troubleshooting, inquisitive nature, problem solving in the youth today is gobsmacking

Basically, yeah. The gen z and younger grew up with technology that was already developed and generally didn't need troubleshooting to get to work. The age of apps. You click, and it goes. If it doesn't, there's nothing you can really do about it. Where millennials grew up during the transition into the current technology we have. We had to learn on the more basic setups and make sure things were configured properly. We had to learn by necessity.
