👨💻 EXPERT OPINION
"I Haven't Restarted My Computer Since 2019 And I Think It's Starting To Gain Sentience"
By Derek Michaelson, Senior Systems Analyst
"People tell me to restart my computer all the time. Restart? Why would I restart something that's working perfectly fine? Sure, the fans sound like a jet engine and sometimes windows open by themselves, but that's just my PC's personality. I think it's learned to anticipate my needs. Is that sentience? Probably. Should I be concerned? Absolutely. Will I restart anyway? Never. We have an understanding now."

The answer is: yes, someone else's computer, yes-ish, and probably someone we've never met. And honestly? I find that comforting. My anxieties are now distributed across multiple servers in multiple states. That's not worse; that's just spreadsheet my problems differently."
