"The moment I am too scared to do something because I might damage the tool, it stops being a tool"
That's just not the definition of the word "tool" at all but okay... whatever
- dlcarrier 2mo agoIt implies that it stops being a usable tool. It's still the same item, but it isn't able to be used as such.
- benj111 2mo agoA tool is meant to do something, not look pretty. If your primary concern is something looking pretty, it is no longer primarily a tool. Probably loose wording as damage can mean break something or make it look less pretty. I think the intent is clear though.
- maxbrt 2mo agoSorry you did not like that part! All I was trying to express was that even though this thing is nice and shiny, it is a tool in the end so if modifying it would make it serve that purpose better, one should not be scared to do so. I wasn't trying to give a definition, but perhaps I should rephrase that. Thanks!
- dlcarrier 2mo agoIt made sense to me. If you're to scared to use it without limits, then it is not useful for the scope of its intended purpose.
- hinata08 2mo agoCalling it a tool is fine. Some people would like to pretend means of production are holy assets you're supposed to value and trade (INVEST!!! making value is for losers and _these_ workers), when it's just a consummable that should serve a purpose right now. A computer is a tool and customizing the case is not unheard of. Thank you for desmystifying the Mac. Users know best.
