Not your server, not your data. Expect this.
That’s why I hate that everything is put into subscription models now…
It really sucks
Another example, this morning we put our dvd of Christmas Vacation on and during the beginning credits the smart tv tells us that our selection is also available through other providers… hmmm 🤔 if we own it, WTF would we need to watch it through a subscription service?
lol exactly! I think I’m going to start adding to my dvd collection again. Been a few years. Never got rid of any but just been relying on streaming too much.
Microsoft is horrible

So glad I use Proton. Looking forward to them adding a spreadsheet to complement their document product. I use with my clients all the time.
Spreadsheet is crucial.
Awful decision. You all should migrate to Libre Office.
The article also correctly mentions that what people call "AI" is actually just a Large Language Module. AI doesn't think, kids. It's not "intelligent". But the people who program it and the people whom they serve are indeed intelligent. Be warned.
