From the headline I thought it was some kind of metal poisoning or other contamination issue. Hell no. The damn thing basically is a loaded cannon waiting to shoot it's lid on your fucking face.
If you got one of these, get rid of it now.
I’m still looking for new clients (or FT/PT positions) following my two main ones ending projects at the end of the month.
If anyone needs any editing, proofreading, or writing work in the interim, please let me know. I also have experience in project management, marketing, and business development

I’m based in the EU (Germany), but can work remotely for global clients too

Folks, if you're going to have a third-party antivirus/security program on your PC, then please keep it up to date. If you decide to let the subscription lapse, then uninstall it.
With an expired subscription, security/antivirus programs are so much worse than useless. It refuses to work AND prevents the built-in Windows Defender from working.
This PSA is brought to you by a McAfee trial that expired 400 days ago.

regarding Lenovo UK service stealing my fucking RAM and forging the records: https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/116217052540315029
just got email from BMJ of the original purchase. 32GB, mate. not the 16GB it now has.
lenovo silently closed the previous ticket. i pinged them just now saying i had the docs. how do i get them to you?
i stated what i wanted: lenovo to make good and replace the missing RAM that disappeared in the process of service.
the guy on chat is powerless, but I asked him to escalate and get someone to actually *email* me in writing re: lenovo's next action in this case.
then the connection dropped (thinking face spinning around)
i have the material now to go loud, but let's see if they get back to me.
