Nowadays you cant do anything with the software or hardware you put and have on your pc.

Microsoft: "what do you mean, your PC?"

If I had to point to an exact time when Windows went to complete garbage, I'd say it was right around the time they renamed "My Computer" to "This PC". To me, that just shows how their view of your device changed.

I always saw "my computer" as infantilising. If something is going to be labeled as "my" thing, it should be because I applied the label.
