  You know it's good when even the cookie notice probably doesn't comply with GDPR. LMAO

  Me, when installing Linux and *then* learning about the Intel Management Engine. 😬

  Well then, that sounds great, because I love tinkering and learning new stuff. :) I do recall using some minor distro - perhaps antiX - a long time ago to save a broken laptop. I did do `init [some number between 0-5]` to manipulate the system's power state, I think. That's my experience with it haha.

  I've been using Linux for five years exclusively with systemd, without noticeable issues. I'm only considering the switch since the main branch - which is still the one being used by most distros by default - has added an `Age` parameter in some config file. Which isn't verification in any sense - you may just leave it blank until an app or the OS requires it - but it's ideologically not my cup of tea.

  Ah. This is of course the next campaign of theirs: target starved out long-term single people with a promise of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.

  Just call customer support. They even supplied you a QR code. What's your problem?

  Holy crap this made me think of [Nier: Automata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nier:_Automata). I'm pretty sure there is a dialogue, cut scene or some other context in which they say, "do androids dream of..." But I can't remember the last part. Maybe "humans"? And I'm sure Nier got its inspiration from some philosopher or classical litterateur that I don't know of.

  Somebody in your household really likes to use your landline. At least four times per day.

  I’ve always thought that was Bismarck.

  Ah... I will never forget the first time I stood up to my bullies. Grabbed a badminton racket during recess and smashed his fucking front teeth out. Somehow I was still the bad guy, got detention *and* was forced to write an apology letter to the piece of shit's parents *and* a letter to my mom explaining what I did wrong.

  I'm so sorry. :( My workplace hasn't forces Big Evil upon us yet, but I think it's just a matter of time. Whenever that happens, I'll buy the cheapest off brand phone for that purpose.
