Ever tried a Cryptography Provider? Kind of a mix between device driver and service, real fun to debug.

It looks like Windows service developers spend almost all their time, solving the problems with permissions, user accounts and Desktop access.

Ah, nice clue. I thought of luster, the US spelling, of course. Re as about didn't occur to me.
I should have run it thru an anagram engine I might have seen it then. But, you have a disdain for anagrams.
Wait ... Lustre is an anagram of luster. Hmmmmm, maybe you're just being foxy?

Not a disdain totally but I try to avoid using them when I'm setting a clue as they are always solved very quickly and very obvious

Played with a Chromebook out in the middle of nowhere, with no internet access. The calculator app couldn't even calculate! Just a blank window.
Glad I've never bought one.

I think you are supposed to set your phone to be a WiFi hotspot, then use that - I do that for my Surface when I need it rather than use the possibly unsafe public WiFi.
Or stick your SIM in the Chromebook.
I'd still stick with an Android or Windows tablet anyway.

I do the same with my Surface ( tether to my phones hotspot ) as unlimited phone data is affordable these days.

I don't get unlimited data, but I get 7GB pcm which rolls over the unused to the following month. Never even got close to the limit even with some long trips - costs £10 pcm and includes unlimited calls and texts to mobile and landline.

I get 120 GB with 7€ and unlimited calls. Texts are no longer used since Whatsapp is the de facto standard.

I'm sim only with vodafone unlimited everything £17 pm - it's come in handy when I've had broadband outages

Sim only with Vodafone, but using a "big value bundle" at £10 pcm.

Just to say, £10 pcm gets you 20GB with Giff Gaff, and no contract. IIRC, Smarty is even better but I don't know how good the coverage is.

GiffGaff coverage isn't good here - Voda is the only service that actually works inside the house.
I got fed up having to go to the bottom of the garden to make a call ...

Good luck doing that around Cut Bank Montana!
Probably drove close to a 100 mile stretch without any service yesterday.

Doesn't the "the middle of nowhere" also preclude your phone?

There is pretty much nowhere in the UK that you can't get some signal, and even in largely uninhabited wastelands like Oz they have satellite phones for where you can't get cell coverage.
