They should get a second job, if they really want it.

I recently bought a car battery jump box, that has a full sized USB-A port on it. So yeah, I’m prepared.

I saw this exact scenario play out in a documentary about enhanced humans. There was a guy who was magnetic or something. He called himself The Magnet Guy. He didn’t seem like a nice chap. Even so, he is fabulous.

Depends. You did schedule backups, right? Right?

What??? In earlier versions, we had to lift a couple of legs on the chips, a 50cm bodge wire, and finally shorting a capacitor while booting. Finally the write protection disabled, which allowed one to flash an older BIOS that allowed usb booting. The major downside was that it was a tethered jailbreak. But we made it work…except for the fly-aways.

If you’re doing anything private on that computer, like social media, banking, cell phone payments, you need to get an operating system that gets current security updates. Windows 7 has not had security updates in 6 years. Malware, ransomware, etc have had 6 years to break Windows 7. Look at Linux Mint, it is a popular distributor, that many find to be a good bridge to get you up and running.

Market share for Win 7-8.1 is, no joke, 0.69% (nice). And how many of those users are running FireFox?

If you stay still, you get left behind. I don’t expect someone to hold my hand, maintaining a friendship. But man, it would be so nice for my “best friend” to reach out like she used to. I said I didn’t want to drink with her friends anymore, and apparently that meant I didn’t want to hang out with her anymore. I’ve tried a couple of times to initiate a meetup for us, she just does not seem interested in that anymore. Whatever.

The lesson is that people let you down. You listen and help them get through their difficult periods in life, but then can be forgotten when something better comes along.
