I recently noticed that `RdrCEF.exe` was clocking close to all of my CPU cycles. This is a cloud service built into Adobe Reader DC, which [constantly sends all kinds of information to Amazon](https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1811609). Leaving all the privacy concerns aside, my computer became inoperable by opening a PDF document. Okay, here's how you fix this.
* Download the [Adobe Wizard](http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/), most likely [the version for Adobe DC](http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/WizardDC/basics.html).
* Put on your robe and your wizard hat.
* Get yourself your preferred [Adobe DC Installer](ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/AcrobatDC/1500720033/), and **make sure it's the MSI version**.
* Use the Wizard to open the MSI and do this:

* Save the MSI and install your new AdobeDC.
Of course, feel free to customize your AdobeDC installer in any other way.
As some of you might know, I got my first mobile device now and started playing around with it. Today, I need to rant, because I lost 79 cents. When you buy an app on the amazon app store, you can no longer use it after you <i>uninstall</i> the amazon app store. <a href="http://androidcommunity.com/amazon-app-store-lures-you-in-with-free-apps-makes-you-stay-if-you-want-to-keep-them-20110614/" target="_blank">Other android users also hate the amazon app store</a> because it is an obnoxious app which is mean and does not let you use apps which you <i>paid</i> for with <i>money</i> after you get rid of the data-leaking abomination it is. Do not use it. I simply bought <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.owncloud.android&hl=de" target="_blank">ownCloud on the humble, trustworthy google play store</a> again. I have no time to deal with amazon over those 79 cents. But I have time to write this scornful post.
