No healthcare, no chemists, no good Internet access, have to literally travel to buy clothes or go to the supermarket, and especially no jobs. Even in big towns jobs are scarce. Hence the asphyxiating housing bubble in big cities. It just makes no sense to live in any of those ghost villages.

I've always hated that apps were allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted on Android. I'm happy to see these changes, as Android is cheaper than iOS, and now I've got two options instead of one.
...which would still need to be elevated.
How can a Visual Basic macro executed as a regular user write to the MBR? Maybe it's asking for elevation?
