Re: Cloud = held to ransom

The obvious question is why they don't drop back to local connection via your router. If I can run Google Translate and Google Maps offline, why can't I have a tiny server with the config asnd have the system default to that?

It would be quite wrong to suggest that the reason is something to do with slurping.
