Microsoft update broke our printers. This is why you don't update immediately following the release.

I'm going to order a raspberry pi and try to set up a retro gaming console. Wish me luck, please.

My computer has been slow for ages and I couldn't figure out why until I looked in the box and saw that some wires were getting wrapped around the CPU fan, so Windows was throttling the hell out of my PC. Lucky it didnt fry.
