Dear my stepdads beer,

I'm a young buck, living high on the hog. Lately I've been having certain urges whenever I look at my HP Elitebook, that make me feel tingly like the first bite on a freshly harvested lemon.
Please, can you please tell me what's the best way to gently caress and cum in computer?

Sincerely,
Thirsty for Tech

you should update your windows computer regularly, instead of pushing it off for weeks at a time and then complaining when it finally forces you to update because your PC is full of security holes

What if I'm using a lovely OS that introduces security holes and bad defaults whenever it updates?
