I had been expecting this to happen for some time, and should have taken a few minutes to figure out what was causing all of the trouble but ended up waiting for things to fail. I’ve been wanting to refresh my main computer for some time so I think that part of my laziness was in anticipation of having to go shopping for new, shiny…  Continue Reading
