I won't be forcing carriage returns on general principle. It's the year 2020 and nobody should have to do that - at least, not with text. Of course, using the enter key is acceptable between paragraphs.

My computer has a tiny ARM microprocessor that's going to run my computer faster and more secure than your old, archaic, piece of security-nightmare junk. My computer doesn't even have cooling vents.

I can tell you're really proud of your big computer and big processor. Big deal, I've had big computers with 165W processors that needed really large cooling fans - feel free to live in the past and brag about it. I use a old, anarchic, computer at work but that's something I don't talk about.
