The holidays are a busy time for many. I am included in the many.
I haven't given up on the soft dependency on easy settings. In fact, I think I understand how I can implement it.

My problem is that haven't had a whole lot of time to dedicate into scripting. Outside of generally being busy, my hardware chose a real convenient time to start showing its age. After many long years one of my laptop's cooling fans is starting to break. There is a lot of vibration and grinding sounds. I shouldn't be using my laptop much if this is the condition that it is in.

Not to worry, I can fix this problem. I have replaced one of the fans on this laptop before. Now I just need to replace the other one. A new fan will make it safe to use with no risks of internal damage. Unfortunately, this cooling fan is unavailable as of writing this journal. I don't know when the cooling fan will be available, so I'm just stuck until then. I've looked around and the only places I could buy the exact cooling fan I need are untrustworthy. I don't want to waste time and money.

None of this means I'm not using my laptop at all, I'm just keeping its use at a minimum. I'm writing this to keep my situation transparent with everyone following along with development here.

I still want to get at least one update out before this month ends.
