Can't wait to have to get a mandatory firmware update before my eyes or legs or something like that works again. I just hope Microsoft doesn't get in on the cybernetics business or it'll randomly happen while driving on the highway or forcefully fill your vision with blinding light for half an hour when you are trying to sleep.

Somehow, Microsoft has returned.

Still might want to practice on a hot dog or something afterwards though.
