Hello
There’s Office online, which has a free tier and a “365” tier, whatever that means. Does it mean that you have Office available 365 days a year? Good luck on February 29th, I guess. /j
Anyway, Microsoft transitioned Office into a subscription-based model, which I abhor because I just want to have a piece of software without feature updates, just bug and security fixes. So Office 365 is just normal Office, but on a subscription basis.
I’ve used Office 2003, 2007, 2010 etc. all the way up to 365 not for work purposes, but just happened to have interacted with all of the versions.
I have to say, I seriously don’t know what happened, but Office 2003-2007 feels the most stable and least clunky versions of Office (at least Word) in terms of basic word processing.
I learned how to properly edit and format text in Word in university in a way that I could, without fail, reproduce almost any text design you could think of. When I was learning it on Office 2007 I believe, everything was so stable and predictable. Now when somebody asks me to format some text with 365, the styles functionality continually keeps bugging out and doing stupid shit that I basically can’t recover from unless I create a blank file.
In conclusion, Office 2007 > 365

Iunno, divine inspiration? /j
I thought that only happened in GTA 5 😕
Generally you’d want to strive for perfection, but not go crazy over it and mantain a balance in all things, risk vs. benefit, that sort of thing, hence the saying
That sounds subjective, in that case just down vote and move on, no point in trying to find the right answer here.
Chinese brands are wild and they make the craziest shit
There’s a 240W charging prototype by Otto IIRC
It’s really tough to get your attention span back, especially if you have an attention disorder. I know that for me it’s so easy to fall back into old habits (like I’m doing now) if life is not going exactly perfectly, cause I just get tired and doing anything else is just too much effort that I already exhaust at work and chores.
I wish you luck in trying to move away from screens, or if you stay on screens, that the time is spent on more memorable activities - movies, TV shows, educational content, documentaries etc.
Yeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?
The fuck? Get off the internet for a bit and touch some grass
They serve different purposes, what’s wrong with having both bikes and cars? People live outside of cities too, you know
On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.
Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.
Is the recent XZ backdoor (and something that had to do with SSH too) anything to worry about in terms of the probability of there being a backdoor even in open source router software?
Not trying to dissuade anyone here, I love open source software, I’m just wondering how much effort is reasonable to be put into securing your local network (i.e. buying your own router, also installing open source software, or writing your own router software if you don’t trust existing solutions) given that not everyone is tech savvy and you get diminishing returns for every additional security measure. And when is the usual point at which you would say “okay, this is secure enough”?
My router is not from an ISP, but it does get frequent firmware updates and I don’t use any cloud management features, only local configuration.
I’m curious, does running open source software somehow exempt you from getting malware?
Thank you. I noticed afterwards that this was lemmy.ml, an instance I steer clear of 🙊
Anyway, I remember how I once had to break news to a person who had either voluntarily or involuntarily set up BitLocker on their work computer and didn’t know how to access their data anymore, and I had to tell them “sorry, you’re out of luck” (now that I’m thinking, maybe there was a recovery code backed up in OneDrive?..) It’s for the best to leave it opt-in for now.
It’s a bit fascist to force people to do what you think is right, no?
Orrr it’s because a lot of people don’t care about E2EE and just want their files to be backed up. Can we stop demonizing every single IT company ever for anything they do?
That’s why you don’t see any ads
Can you tell me more about that save menu?
