Oh, Magic 8-Ball, why is my customer not receiving that important email from Too Big To Fail Dot Com outsourcing mail delivery to Microsoft?

I can't wait for the day when the first things "rms" and "esr" universally conjure up in computer software are "Remote Management Software" and "Extended Support Release."

Finally, a brutally honest source code comment that applies to nearly every techbro-embraced piece of software this decade.

Not much worse than getting home to find out my home ISP's out. The only thing I can think of that is, greeted me Friday night.

I wish the ISP I work for could serve my home. Instead, my only options are a 4G on the edge of a shadow, a 5G that wants me to pay a $60/mo surcharge for a phone I don't need, fiber that wants me to pay a $60/mo surcharge for a phone I don't need, a satellite ISP so draconian you can't update Windows, & a techbro satellite angering the world's astronomers.

Please make backup copies of your PC, folks, if you aren't already. Don't forget to test your backups. Don't forget to write down your PC recovery & backup restoring procedure. And don't forget to save that procedure somewhere you can get to if all your data gets wiped out.
