Sending love. Dementia is a cruel thing to go through, both for the one who has it and their family. I treasure the voice recording from my grandma when she still remembered who I was.

Be kind to yourself the coming weeks.

The music video is a silent disco. All you hear is shuffling feet and people sighing to whatever they’re hearing on the headphones

You can absolutely get Office 365 and use the web apps, which are fully functional. Other than that, Thunderbird tends to be the go-to mail client.

We moved from Windows to Mac (MacOS is based on UNIX) a couple years ago with zero regrets apart from the reduced gaming factor.

On the positive side, at least there is a very refreshing lack of stupid bimbos with watermelon-sized tits fighting over a spot in the MCs harem. They ran out of animation budget VERY quickly though, the last four episodes were at times painful to watch.

Hey, want me to counterbalance that? My 15 year career is down the drain, after 1.5 years of unemployment I‘m now deep in debt, I’m in a job that earns a bit more than half of what I had before and I have no idea how to pay the taxes from freelancing for four months in January 👍😂

Just wait until you have to use the trains!

Ugh, sorry, missed the reply! That sounds like something I’m their end, or a dirty fibre - a single dust particle on the port that reflects something can cause issues at specific wavelengths. I hope it gets fixed for you!

Hmm. They run their own infrastructure on XGSPON. They could be oversubscribed, or it could be a simple issue like a speck of dust at one of the fibre connection points. What kind of connection problems do you get? Disconnects? Packet loss? High ping?

Are you on cable (Virgin Media) or DSL (copper to the home)? With those two, an upgrade can cause havoc if the line isn’t properly attenuated (cable) or you’re too far from the cabinet (DSL). The cable issues can be fixed, the DSL one not so much :/
