Great, but small Android phones are still few and far between. The Jelly Star is a notable exception, but those devices don’t seem to get much in the way of long-term support

Someone broke it down here: https://bajsicki.com/blog/loops-video-terms/

So?

When was this, exactly?

I’m amazed there’s anyone out there who hasn’t heard of Jim Fucking Sterling, Son

I ran 7 on a Dell netbook for a few years, and it worked great (though, naturally, not as great as XP)

Because mice are a solved problem. New phones can ostensibly have new features, better cameras, better displays, etc. Similarly, new cards and CPUs can give you measurably better performance.

A new mouse is something you get when your old mouse is broken, and if that’s happening every year, then there’s a big problem.

I have to question in what world one would need “the latest mouse” every year. The only reason is if Logitech makes such a crap mouse that it starts to fall apart, thus necessitating a new one.

The only other avenue is that the mouse just gets more and more bloated with additional “features” year-on-year.

The principle isn’t the worst, but the implications are less than ideal

The CEO of a corporation should be the living embodiment of that corp. Kind of like Subway in Community

Unless you’re using a non-Chromium browser, that is.

I pay for it because I thought it was a trustworthy service that had earnt my money. Instead, if they continue with stuff like this then I’ll go back to not trusting subscription services again.

I reported a SharePoint bug to Microsoft yesterday afternoon, and it was fixed by the time I logged in this morning.

Y’know, this conversation doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, so I will leave it here: if it’s such an easy sell, every business in the world would have done it by now.

What happens when you need to collaborate with other businesses who use O365? The business would also have to spend time updating any legacy documents, templates, spreadsheets and so on. Then you have the IT teams, who will need extensive training so that they can field the inevitable flurry of support tickets and calls. And that’s not getting into the support side of things - who do I go to if something breaks in LibreOffice?

I am an advocate for OSS, but there is a bigger picture here, and unfortunately it’s not always as simple as just switching over. I wish it was, believe me!

It is when your business relies on Microsoft services which are inherently incompatible with LO

I don’t really have anything to add, however I will say that this sounds like a fabulous community, and I wish you luck in finding suitable software.

Now the phrase makes a lot more sense

Amazon should be held accountable for a lot of things, let’s face it…

I guess it depends how obvious it is that they’re AI-generated
