Those of us with civilized operating systems needn't worry. If you're using Windoze 11, may the odds be ever in your favor. www.howtogeek.com/next-windows...

The next Windows update might make your old printer obsolete (as in, you'll need a new one)
Legacy USB printers without IPP or Mopria support face network exile while built in drivers take precedence in updates.

Man, IDK.  Maybe the centrist Democratic leaders who have managed to lose every branch of government to a pedo con artis and his fascist supporters aren't the right people to lecture anyone on how to win elections.

The swastika carved into a car on the Upper East Side is a despicable act of antisemitism. It is a hateful attack of intimidation on our Jewish neighbors and on the values that make our city what it is.

I have full confidence the NYPD, which is investigating this as a hate crime, will do everything to ensure those responsible are held accountable. 

To every Jewish New Yorker: your city stands with you. We will confront acts of antisemitism wherever they appear with urgency and without exception.

The text is surrounded by small decorative details, including small black dots arranged in clusters and four-pointed pastel stars. At the bottom of the image, the handle "@DEAR_CHRONIC_PAIN" is written in a small, neat font.
