It does sound like an adventure to me.

I usually wait 3-6 weeks before any OS update since there will be bugs and unstability. No different with Android Oreo.

Looks like I'm going to switch to BackBlaze eventually.

That's encouraging, hope he keeps this up and he'll feel much better!

That was a bit more fun than imagined.

Not a good time I feel.

Back in Northern NY for a couple days to catch up and today will be only less than 50% chance we may see a eclipse around here. At least it's sunny.

Looks like it's certainly good news at least.

I use TunnelBear but I'll likely switch to ProtonVPN once it's fully out for mobile devices.

That VPN you mentioned looks interesting, may try it out.
