Personal life

In 2015, Hutton bought a $3.8million house in the Sydney suburb of Bronte, with her partner, Robert Dulhunty.[9][10] In August 2018, Dulhunty told police he had chased a trespasser from the premises. Security vision was obtained of Dulhunty buying items, supposedly left by the intruder, from a convenience store the day before the event. In January 2019, Dulhunty was convicted of six offences, including stalking and intimidation, property damage, and making a fake triple zero call. He was also ordered to pay the NSW Police $13,040, to compensate for the time they wasted on the case.[10]

There's the obvious issue of mailing lists which you *want* to receive, but more significantly this would make me... not use email at all... since I don't have any work-y reasons to use it and can reach my friends by various other channels.
gollark: So apparently the issue is that I'm just misunderstanding Android, which has become increasingly convoluted for some reason. There are *two* `fastboot` things, each of which works slightly differently because of course.
gollark: Probably? I'm not entirely sure how Android's filesystem works because it's vaguely horrible even on correctly thingied devices.
