I despise the fact that electronic devices need to be "set up". What about you? (Page 2)

We just had to replace our five year old flat screen TV. It was cheaper to replace it than to repair it. We only use our TV to connect to our laptops so that my wife and I can watch movies together. Why can't you just plug the motherfucker in and have it work? I don't want "smart" devices. I tried to do it myself, but wound up having to call Samsung tech support and get instructions from someone in the Philippines. The steps we had to go through to get the TV to recognize my laptop were not intuitive at all, and the written directions were crap. It's as if you bought a new car but had to call the manufacturer to program it before it could be driven. That's probably where electric cars are headed. Before digital, products were made to work right out of the box. I also hate the fact that companies use tech support people in India or the Philippines. Not that I have a problem with Indians or Filipinos. It's just hard to understand them. I wish that they used more Americans for tech support for Americans. But they don't want to pay wages to Americans. End of rant. LOL

No I don’t mind it. How are you at “some assembly required” furniture assembly?

  That stuff doesn't bother me. Furniture has step by step instructions, just like building a model airplane or car.
