Oh, hello. I didn't see you there. How are you, John?

Oh, hi, hi there, Merlin. Were you in stealth mode?

No, I was in a mode apparently where Zoom something, something, something, something,

something, something, something.

Oh.

Yeah, it's very, it's very, it's loud in here now.

Oh, Zoom needed to restart my computer, you see,

because of, because of something,

and there were a lot of boxes I needed to check.

I had to check some boxes. I had to put in a password to come I had to authorize.

Really? You sure you're not hacked? He might be hacked. The other day, Apple Force upgraded my OS. I'd been I'd been clicking no thanks no thanks no thanks no thanks no thanks for like four, no thanks.

And they're like, do you want me to remind you tomorrow?

And I'm like, no, but.

Your car turning on the check engine light

is a way of forcing you to the mechanic.

I was like, nope, nope, nope, don't want it.

Because I know you update the OS at some point and it borks your whole computer.

It's just everything's, it's over from that point on.

Is that what always, that's what always happens.

That's what always happens. It borks it it. It borks it. It says right in the top line of the code,

bork. Go to bork. And so I said it's in basic. I said no thanks, no thanks for four years and then it just did it yeah I didn't I didn't authorize it

you consider that a nanny state problem John you know I think you explained it to me perfectly the people at yeah the people at Apple are out of touch with real Americans.
