    “Do not dangle the mouse by the cord or throw at co-workers.”

    “All parts of the computer should fit together easily and without force. By all means, do not use a hammer!”

    But seriously, some old UNIX workstation and server manuals come to mind as there’s no mention of Microsoft anywhere. Just a good description of how the computer is actually supposed to be used.

    Also home computer manuals and some hifi and lab equipment manuals which came with full schematics and measurement and calibration procedures. They essentially gave all users the maintenance manual and not just the dumb user one.

      dumb user one

      Really pisses me off

      Last router I had to install had a manual that was literally only “Put this cable in this hole. Click this button. Et voila.” with no explanation what any of the other buttons or slots or indicators were for.

      I wish this was more of a thing. Right to repair!
