M365 Family users wake up to notice 'Your subscription expired'

Always a problem

365 account always asking to upgrade to 365 subscription zzzzz yes done that family of 4.

Blocks kids browsing as they use class charts for school so again constantly nagging to log in for "their safety."

Thought clearing the accounts and fresh account install would work.

Hell no. Wife's account was over the storage limit without 365 subscription so then had to wait for 30 mins whilst deleting over 64000 emails ( she's very busy) just to re enter into the family account. Evening wasted.

To top it off it didn't work and the kids still get nag popup to login into their m$ email account. (Which they do to no avail.)

Horrible buggy subscription service - I understand why the boss still uses the last office suite before the subscription model on an isolated PC.

So long Lotus 1-2-3: IBM ceases support after over 30 years of code

Still in use

My boss still uses it to everyone's annoyance. Every new laptop and PC gets the smartsuite installed. The latest Alienware laptop crashed when I tried to move the smartsuite navigation bar from the top of the screen to the bottom. This mistake required a fresh install of win 11 to get over this seemingly simple request. Takes you back to the 90s when you see the installer running!

Ad-tech firms grab email addresses from forms before they're even submitted

Useful that erase data feature. I have taken advantage of many initial registration only deals using this technique

What's for Christmas, Google? Oh, you're taking away free phone calls from our Nest speakers

Down down down

First google music now this. Speakers and features are supposed to get better not worse. Piss poor performance from Google again and charging for you tube premium and you tube music. Wouldn't mind but uploaded my mp3 collection 30k cd single tracks many of which are not available on line.

PC owners borg into the most powerful computer the world has ever known – all in the search for coronavirus cure

Have used BOINC for years contributing to fighting AIDS and all sorts of cancer projects. Glad to help and adjusting the settings is simple on the gui. Never interfered with my work so would reccomend. Have stealth installed on clients pcs (hide system icon) as well with no repercussions yet....

In tribute to Galaxy Note 7, BBC iPlayer support goes up in flames for some Samsung TVs

Buy chromecast or similar

Licensing issues confirmed by Samsung years ago. Licenses purchased in blocks from the BBC and when they release new models they simply stop supporting the old. First in first out. Sacrificed a hdmi port and got a "future proof" chromecast and now just cast from phone. So much faster than using "smart tv" app.

Samsung's fault not the BBC.
