News Flash:

Every single browser for Android has Chromium under the hood... Including Firefox.

For that reason alone is why I'm using Samsung Internet with AdGuard Content Blocker on my Galaxy A series.

One needs to be registered to buy at the dispensary but you only need to be 21 or over to buy CBD products.

grass is kinda illegal here in the US

Meanwhile, in Illinois, I'm passing by my local dispensery everyday for work, selling CBD products at work...

I have an Associates in Electronics. I graduated just as the recesion reared it's ugly head in the early '90's. With nothing else to do, I cleaned carpet for 20 years. I have dabbled in computers and programming in A86 but never got too deep into them.

Let's just say I know enough to mess up everything I touch if I'd let myself...

I was a carpet cleaner for about 20 years. Cleaned all over Chicagoland. I was a regular for Dennis DeYoung for about 6 years. Kept to himself mostly, but friendly. He had a dog that he named Lady. His house was pretty big. His bedroom, also huge, had a big master bathroom. To the right of that was a couple of stairs then a small hallway and at the end of that hallway was a room, a literal apartment sized room that was her closet! To the left of the master bathroom was another door, his closet. Open that and I could stick my hand in it and reach the end of his closet. Always struck me funny. Another thing that struck me funny was in his kid's bedroom, there was a form letter from Mike Schmidt. A form letter. From Mike Schmidt to the son of Dennis DeYoung.

I also delivered a hand washed rug roll to Bonnie Hunt. Very friendly.

The problem sticking with Windows is that at a security point, older versions become less and less secure, opening a door for attackers and phishing and viruses and whatnot to those who aren't tech savvy.

I would personally load Mint on that older laptop or any other lightweight Linux distro. Mint looks and performs quite similar to Windows. It's install manager is similar to the Windows Store.

but of course saving money is also nice!

Best part about Mint and most Linux distros is that it is 100% free!

Or they repeat themselves because that's all they know what to say. Parroting because they read/heard something that, in their small world view, they agree with and don't take the time to research.
