  Nowadays I often wonder if more than 5% of people go multi-user

    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 amounts for different humans.

      My Linux machines may have multiple users, but each only has one that you can log into from the lock screen.

  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

  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

  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.

  One guys doesn’t even have a computer at home, they have phones and iPads.

    I worked with a software developer who dint have a computer. Didn’t have TV either. Didn’t even have a tablet.

    Blew my mind.

  No, because the rest of my family had no interest in using it.
