i know folks in foss that are actually doing the work of making their stuff accessible to people who aren't technical but what i am interested in is looking at machines like kilns, bicycles and sewing machines and actually learning from them, not asking everyone to become technically competent enough to build a computer

In response to this posti think we should encourage people to get to "able to upgrade the ram in a desktop machine with youtube" and past that i think it's kind of too much to reasonably ask
even that is a bit much frankly
by Nora Reed ;
@nora yeah, I think the reasonable bar (perhaps what a 3-class lesson in a reasonable general school curriculum should be) is "broadly what are the things in a computer (CPU/mainboard, RAM, disk, expansion cards, heatsinks, fans, external ports)", "how to install new RAM", "how to clean your fans and heatsinks", and "how to install/upgrade an SSD/disk" -- the last 2 mostly because it would let people do 90% of the regular service activities on a laptop themself.
