Never been on a roller-coaster, never wanted to. However if the experience is similar to being in a car crash, I seriously wonder why anyone would want to. I wonder how Kings Island feel about this news?
[Fortunately, I wasn't drinking coffee when reading that the iPhone was in the fanny pack of dentist Sara White. It's a term I'm aware of but wasn't expecting at that moment  ]

A 2.87 trillion dollar company releases a feature that they forgot to write a use case for and test.

Easy to do. Those insurance company "safe driving" software packages missed the fact that most EVs can use engine regeneration to decelerate so fast that the software would record a harsh braking event when the driver had no feet on the pedals.

And they would be right to do so to the same extent that they're right to do so when you stomp on the brake yourself. Why the car is slowing fast enough to increase it's risk of being rearended doesn't make getting crunched any less likely.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Shame on the developers for not questioning the spec, ditto on the testers for not testing outside the box, ditto the product managers for not properly thinking through their bright idea!
But there is a simple solution - disable the feature by default and auto-enable it when the phone connects to a paired HFT over Bluetooth. Possibly with a user opt-out at the point of enabling.

Not many Lounge regulars are overwhelmed fans of Farcebook or its founding father, Zuck.
Sharing that point-of-view, I found this piece entertaining: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/09/technology/meta-zuckerberg-metaverse.html[^]
It is behind a paywall, but if you just click your browser's "Reader view" (or just "Reload & interrupt reload" [pretty weak content protection for such a large operation]) then you can read the whole thing.

I suppose he was impressed with Ready Player One (2018) - IMDb[^] and his eyes started to roll with the $$$ symbol in it.

My computer has been randomly freezing lately.
Always at the end of the day, around 16:30, but last week around 17:30 too.
Only the on/off button works.
Another problem I've been having is that I can't connect to the Wi-Fi of one particular customer.
But it's only me.
Had that issue before and nothing could solve it except a router update after a couple of month.
Maybe I could find out what causes the problems, maybe the problems will go away after some random update, but more likely it's easier and faster to buy a new laptop 
Spending a lot of time and money on something that works 99% of the time is not my favorite pastime, but better do it now when I still have the time and choice

Might be time to back up your data and reinstall the OS from scratch. By "from scratch" I mean get the Microsoft retail version of the OS and install from there, deleting the partition table as part of the process. You may need to get drivers for the machine before you start this process, though.
