Microsoft edge is rude, to open up like that right off the bat when you log into a PC for the first time after an update .

In every conceivable way. It's awful.

I just opened up a windows 7 machine for the first time to make sure everything was still working, right?
before the restaurant opened.
and it took forever to even open the damn program. I didn't even tell it to open.

@JaredBusch Yes, everyone has a cell. My thoughts were if I am going to set it up, it may as well get used. My parents still have a house phone as cell service isn't great.

One reason for me was to have an IP phone in my shop as well as the house. I have this now as an "intercom" of sorts. I can get called from the house and get my cheap Grandstream phone dirty and not care.

Definitely not a "must have". Figured if I set up a new lab instance in Vultr, I may as well actually use it.

Its how i call my dad still. In fact everyone. I cant hear people on cell calls.

Need to get you one of those cell phones for old people with some extra oomph in the speaker department.... that, or a set of hearing aids. Amplify All the sounds!

and then you can turn the hearing aid completely off when you're tired of people.

Pro tip: if your hair starts off red (like mine), it goes blonde, not gray.

We all can't be that lucky LOL

Last night a new friend of mine pointed out I'm growing grey hair. .
I'm 23 man. This is not okay.

Don't feel bad. My grandfather's hair was completely white before he hit 25.

Similarly, My dad was fully grey by 30.

One of my customers called in..
"SO it was doing windows updates..."

• Okay, sucks that it ran this early but windows updates are necessary.

"i shut it off and turned it back on. Now it wont do anything.."

• Wait, was it doing windows updates when you turned it off?

"yes.."

Usually the screen says, "Do not turn off."
At least it's billable.

actually - probably not billable - under contract.

Phone/Remote support contract
