Do you know what power stations feed your electrical circuit? Do you know which transformers are most critical to keep you in service? Do you know who manufactured them?
Do you know where your water comes from? Which facilities treat it? How it’s treated?
Can you name your senators, house rep, state senators, state rep, and local officials?
Everyone can’t know everything. I doubt you do, but I wouldn’t call you a fucking idiot for that. I would call you a fucking idiot for being such a small-minded asshole though. You’re not the smartest person in the room, and even if you were, you still wouldn’t understand how 99% of human technology works. We’re in this together and we lean on each other. That’s the beauty and curse of being human
Sounds like you’ve taken offense. Don’t know who your host is huh? If you work in IT doing websites you gotta know same basics. Sorry if my statements don’t align with your world view.
Think small businesses, charities, local municipal services, etc. Small IT budgets, low staff (if any) and just enough to pad out a subscription cost to a service provider that fits their needs.
Did we not read the same comment? Not every service that was taken down was a website, like OP’s school. Plenty of small businesses, charities or local municipal
services don’t have IT staff, commissioned their sites (including initialisation) and don’t necessarily know that 𝑥 company they pay, pays Amazon. Or how to do a whois search. You clearly don’t have a firm grasp on the realities of the world, nor work in IT “doing websites”.
Fine, most of them are fucking idiots. Know where your infrastructure is people! Whois your IP.
