It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft.

Do you use the device you torrent on for personal things as well?
I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....

My first attempt at air layering Pothos with coco coir is successful! ( mander.xyz )
My Pothos got a bit long and dropped leaves in the middle of its stem. I didn't want to cut it directly since in my experience it would drop more leaves on the newly cut piece, so I wanted to try air layering.
