I've been Linux only since 2016, after a decade of "trying " to move over. I do still have a partition for the increasingly rare event that I need something MS, which so far has been one class in my University that required a lockdown browser for a test.

It's a pretty bold move to advertise the inclusion of a key logger in your OS.

The tangerine pufferfish has an incredible ability to say a thing enough that it becomes true enough to happen.

Man, remember when popes lasted longer than my computer upgrades?

My tap and die set sit on a shelf, my lathe is in the shop. I've dropped my hammer from 150 feet because the tether broke and the most upsetting part was climbing the ladder down and back up.

It depends on whether you view it as a lathe or a hammer. My nice computer is at home, my computer that I sit in the park under a tree and code on, then set it on the grass while it compiles is in my bag.

So I started going to University recently, and the amount of people I've had actively chastise me for how I treat my laptop has been shocking.

This is a tool to get things done, it's not some precious gem, I bought a cheap laptop with the expectation that it's going to get gross and crusty and I'll have to hose it down once a year, I'm going to wing it around and drop it and clean the screen with my sleeve.

How many seconds you're prepared to wait for Windows to shutdown.

I never knew this was a thing until my 30's, I just had little boxes covering the margins of all my notebooks.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them.

I look forward to a virtual road trip my 86 Hyundai Pony.

That's not a movie that you can make TV appropriate.
