Great. So managing printers, network settings and quickly comparing settings from two places becomes a weird game of screenshots and guessing.

It's as if they intentionally were making their products unusable for ADHD and especially AuDHD people.
I wonder sometimes, maybe they are. Maybe there's some policy coming from some macchiavellian cokehead in a suit, that people like us spoil their big, important social mechanisms and introduce a measure of chaos they don't want, so we have to be suppressed.
I just don't understand why Windows is such an ADHD torture today. Even XP wasn't.
