The Found Hardware Wizard
It’s easy to forget how good we have it now. I get mad at my laptop sometimes, but until a few years ago, computers were nearly non-functional. The “Found New Hardware Wizard” was supposed to help. It didn’t.
These days, you hook something up to your USB-C port or connect over Bluetooth, and there’s a very good chance that it will just work. That would have sounded like a utopian dream if you’d described it to me in 2004. For most of computer history, plugging in a new device entailed an excruciating dive through drivers and settings, praying that this time, finally, your printer was going to work.
