Despite how idiotic this argument sounds, but given the stupidity I have witnessed from people who are not that tech savvy, it leads me to believe that this is quite possible for them to do.
I haven't been following LTT for more than 2 years, but as far as I remember, they were really good with the stuff they did. Got me into the whole PC building and immense knowledge on those parts.
Quite surprised to see this stuff coming out from them. Honestly, I'm disappointed with them for becoming the monster they ought to defeat.
So if your computer said "press Y to possibly brick your shit" it's in any way reasonable to blame the computer if that happens after you press y?
People are dumb. They do so much dumb shit that your computer should be dummy proof enough to not delete the main OS itself with just a command and button press.
That's not what happened though.
And I submit someone that stupid would toast windows in no time also.
