The other thing I noticed is the younger generation seem to be less experienced with computers.

Yes they have used computers most of their lives but when I talk to interns for example the number of them who don't know what the POST on a computer is or how to use a command line is astounding.

I agree and disagree. I am also a software developer atleast in title(mostly do validation stuff). The issue in the factory I work is almost everything has "software". Almost everything there is based in software, the operators are really only there mostly to put the part in the right place and sometimes plug it in. I could hire almost anyone do those jobs so the pay will always suck. Yes I respect them but mostly the job just requires a pair of working hands. Pure software companies may be different but I still think the only field to grow and have decent pay will be helping to automate stuff.

The main difference to my knowledge between an ad blocker and pihole is while a ad blocker downloads the ad but doesn't show it a pihole blocks it from being downloaded.

In addition you can block anything(not just ads) so if you want to say block reddit you could add *.reddit.com to the block list and it will block it even though it's not a ad service.
