Ah, well, you see, if the gub’mint is incapable of such a little task and we have to rely on private business to get anything done, why even have a gub’mint? Privatize it all! #capitalism

Tis I, your cousin, Cheesius Pizzius!

Thanks!

So if Microshaft is going to install these products automatically with my copy of Windows, the tools are free to use, right?

I may finally pull the plug on my full conversion to Linux this or next year. I already dual-boot and have been a single inconvenience away from kicking Windows Spyware Edition to the curb, anyways.

Similar to “Internet hacker Anonymous”. The media needs somewhere to place blame, so here’s a fishing net.

Her battery may also just be going bad, for what it’s worth. My Pixel 5’s life was extended by at least 2 years (before taking a free upgrade to a Pixel 9, running stock OS) by a battery replacement. If you’re reasonably handy with electronics, it’s less than a $100 fix. I don’t know what a phone repair shop would charge.

You may not have to replace a whole phone quite yet.

I work in pharmacy and casually joke about being a legal drug dealer all of the time.

Not all drugs are street drugs!

As someone who recently had to quit cold turkey from being a heavy daily user due to job change and a drug test (I had 6 weeks to be clean), I can confirm that physical withdrawal symptoms exist and are not pleasant. Includes night sweats turning into nightmares, upset stomach with loose stools, and loss of appetite. Lots of warm baths to combat the fatigue of withdrawal. Heightened paranoia due to the situation.

Would not recommend. If you’re a heavy user and need to stop/T-break, taper down first, or work with a mental health provider.
