Well, there’s your problem.

Well, there’s your problem.
I empathise with the nurses. It will be like Microsoft's level one help centre.
You: I'm having an issue with my Arm. Whenever I try to lift it, it falls off.
Support: Oh no, that sounds really frustrating! I can imagine how annoying it must be to have your work disrupted like that. But don't worry, I'm here to help and we'll get through this together.
You: Okay, what should I try to fix it?
Support: I totally understand your eagerness to resolve this quickly. Having arm issues can be such an inconvenience in our busy lives. But before we jump into troubleshooting, would you mind taking a deep breath with me? These kinds of problems can really raise our stress levels.
You:
Support: You're absolutely right, let's focus on the task at hand. I don't want to make this any more difficult than it needs to be. I'm picturing how frustrated I'd feel if I were in your shoes. But please know I'm giving this my full care and attention. Have you tried rebooting your arm since the crashes began?
By using the "contents:[searchstring]" keyword, you can tell windows you want to search inside documents as well as just the usual filename searching.
You're right: the cloud isn't going away.
What should go away is for-hire cloud services from monopolistic and abusive vendors. My hope is that people will eventually be able to deploy and manage their own clouds without paying a fortune to, or having your data pilfered by Big Data giants, thereby giving the Microsofts, Amazons and other Googles the middle finger they so richly deserve.
Maybe, just maybe, just like in the 80s when the personal computer finally broke the mainframe monopolies and freed us from insufferable BOFHs on power trips and insane pricings, someone or something will come along to break the cloud monopolies.
And then we'll be free again, until the next bunch of suckers lets history repeat itself once more. But I'll be long dead by then.
I thought bill would to busy as CIO for Satan. May God save his evil soul.
No it doesn't
I had an Amex card that I closed.
When a company whom I had cancelled a recurring charge with decided they wanted to keep billing me, Amex reactivated my closed account and sent me the bill.
They attitude was tough luck.
I'm surprised Amex is still around.
Yeah true. Minnesota never gets that hot.
Even Ford manages to make EVs that survive Minnesota winters for a few weeks.
Within months, Google rolled out YouTube Shorts and Instagram pushed out its Reels feature. Both mimicked the short-form video creation that TikTok had excelled at. "And they ended up capturing most of the market that TikTok had vacated,"
And that's better... how?
India simply traded Chinese social media mediocrity and corporate surveillance with American equivalents. But America isn't the enemy, so it's okay I guess...
I buy the Samsung A5 series. Last one lasted 5 years, my current one comes with 5 years of updates so expect it to last 5 years as well at about 1/3 the cost of Apple.
Then I would argue you didn’t fulfil your obligation to society.
Reproduction by intelligent people is super important. Who is going to keep the country running when you are old. and immigrants is only a temporary solution, as they will also stop having kids once they adopt the countries culture.
I am disabled too but I still go out. It's strange but... I'm missing a few body parts, and the small degree of functional augmentation my implants provide my partially-failed biological body feels like fighting back disability through technology, if that makes sense.
It's hard to explain and most people don't understand, but my implants give me a degree of feeling like I can do something more than just endure the loss of amputation. It's entirely psycholofical, I know, but if you're disabled too, you understand.
I'm not either, but it wounds like you are a somewhat extreme case. Do you have ADHD by any chance?
Haha no. But I don't shy away from going all the way on solutions that I deem worth it to improve my quality of life.
Implants aren't fun to put in, they're not cheap, and the devices you use them with - like RFID or NFC locks and such - aren't cheap either. But if you have the money and you're willing to grit your teeth for a few minutes, they're totally worth it. At least that's my opinion.
there are no good RFID bike lock
There is, again if you have the money. I use this stupidly expensive padlock with an equally thick chain.
But also I guess I've just never felt bad about having stuff in my pockets
I hate having stuff on me. Worse: I hate having to remember that I need to take stuff with me, and then realize I need something and I forgot it. To each his own I guess.
I've been through a 2T MRI machine twice and have had numerous X-rays taken, no problem.
