use the free antivirus (e.g. measles and chicken pox ‘parties’) instead.

of all that shit microsoft forces upon you…

it’s the msa (online microsoft account) that’s the biggest deal-breaker for me.

absolutely not. never gonna happen.

the office. the documentary/handheld camera style cinematography is nauseating to watch. see also: parks & rec and similarly-shot titles.

hauling a bunch of old tech out to the curb so it could be picked up (also by me, later today) and taken to an ewaste collection site… including a crt tv old enough to be ‘made in usa’
