My PC automatically logs in and the entire family uses that one account. I don't need no security on top of that. You're already in my house

Who even names someone Administrator? Poor kid.
I actually work with people who still have a "family computer".
One guys doesn't even have a computer at home, they have phones and iPads.
Nowadays I often wonder if more than 5% of people go multi-user
Our family PC has one family user.
My wife and I both have our ownn logins on both computers, even though we tend to only use our own.
99% of machines use multiple users on their OS. Different users for different programs is a widespread Unix-like OS approach to security.
I think they meant separate accounts for different humans.
My Linux machines may have multiple users, but each only has one that you can log into from the lock screen.
I do on my laptop. Mostly so I can present with one user that has a clean browser history.
My main user has access to all my porn.
I have set one up for ssh that only gets to access a shared folder.
Pretty useful
Not since DOS v 6(?). Once Windows 3.11 came out my father had had to upgrade his machine enough times that we had 1 computer for each family member. We literally had hand-me-down computers instead of clothing.
No worries.
Soon, millions will be sharing a ~~mainframe~~ subscription cloud system, with just shell terminals priced at around half a year's salary and requiring an "upgrade" every 2-3 years.
It’s gonna be so much better dude because AI agents are gonna do all the work for us, freeing us from using the computer and allowing us to return to a life of hard manual labor
hey wait
Well someone has to build the datacenters!
priced at around half a year’s salary
So the current price of a MacBook adjusted for inflation?
Well, depends upon whose salary you are talking about.
