mine is really narrow like this, but the back of the toilet is on a 'long' wall, so it 'sticks out' instead. meaning you cannot sit straight on it without your knees hitting the wall. you have to step over it to get to the shower. and no window, or fan--or heat for that matter, either.

if the document doesn't explicitly say that they don't.. they do. and even if it did, odds are they (or one of their 'partners') do anyway.

keep using 'photoshop' as a generic term and verb until it becomes 'generic enough' for adobe to lose its trademark. same with 'google' ftm.

between pinned items in start menu and on the taskbar, putting quicklaunch back and populating it, and a few desktop shortcuts... i maybe 'search' for an application like that once a year, at most.

"i would like to write a quick letter in wordpad."

sorry. that application is not available. launching word instead and starting a subscription to microsoft 365.
locating credit card information...
found. you will be charged $99.99 per year.

been working on it here. i've just moved my multi-monitor setup at the office over to debian mint, and relegated windows to a crt.

i can't go "all in", as supporting windows desktops "pays the rent", but it'll be "all but one" at home and at the office.

tbf, customers have a near-infinite number of different issues and problems. those 'flow charts' and scripts are designed to start at a baseline and work up from there and they start with the most common ones. you'd be paying more for whatever it is you're calling in about if they hired only fully-qualified persons that can 'think on their feet' without the flow charts and scripts wrt whatever issue it is you have, troubleshooting it, and coming up with the specific solution for you... a hell of a lot more. and yes, the first thing you should usually try with tech items is a power cycle. ::insert itcrowd-turnitoffandonagain.jpg::

cake ('american' kind, with frosting) probably would have been 'healthier' than these 'danish'

the major OEMs basically get paid to put windows on the systems they sell. they get the licenses at a deep discount, then top that off with the money coming in for the preinstalled garbage.
