Failed to convince my sibling to replace their elderly Lenovo laptop with a Mac, so we specced a Dell instead. Oh well.

Then I realised, as family IT resource, I will be transferring the data from the old Windows laptop to the new Windows laptop, and it’s something I’ve not done for a long time. I just use OneDrive for literally everything on *my* PC, so (other than game installs), the whole installation is literally disposable - I just log in on a new machine with my MS account, and all my shit is just *there*.

My sibling? Not so much. Oh well!

Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Feels…

…insecure.

Not helped by the complete failure to mention security on their website.
