As if Visa and Mastercard did not sell customer data...

It's called 365 Classic and it's hidden in the Subscriptions section of your Microsoft account.

They haven't been dominant in the gaming market for a long time now. Since the beginning of the last generation (Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch), Microsoft has had the worst selling game consoles. And they are getting weaker with every year: the Xbox director was fired just a few weeks ago.

What a rude thing to say. No one is forcing you to use it.

Market cap is not cash in the bank.

It's hardly annual price times 30. You must account for inflation.

It's literally in the second item under Section 1.

If it wasn't for Turing your job might not have been a thing. If it wasn't for Tim Berners-Lee, we might not have been here having this discussion.

Hint: neither is/was American. Just to throw some examples.

They had a YouTube. It was called Google Video, and it went nowhere.

Google Video was YouTube’s competitor. Only after some years Google acquired YT

I have one of the same model. WiFi connection doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried every troubleshooting article I could find, to the extent of setting a static IP for it in my router. Otherwise a great printer, but that issue did leave a bad taste in my mouth

It is about being present in the office. As opposed to working from home, as in a house in the US.

Nothing will change in your use case. Just keep using the App Store. No one is going to force you otherwise.

Don't worry. Apple already installs spyware on their devices for the Chinese market. It's called iCloud.

On Windows you can purchase games skipping a fee-incurring store altogether.

Apple is the one one getting flak for it because there's no other choice. You are forced to use their store.

Yes, that's perfectly reasonable.

Or does Windows show a choice screen for you to choose your Web browser of choice? Surely not, they want you to use Edge. Still, one can use another browser easily.

That's true.

Given that iMessage has 1.3 billion active monthly users, WhatsApp has 2 billion and Facebook Messenger with 3, I don’t believe they are the one living in a bubble.

It has a free tier.

Europe is huge, so it would help to be more specific.

MS is buying Activision Blizzard to compete against Sony.

Have you tried again in recent years?

Today it is much more of a binary experience. A game either runs smoothly out of the box or does not run at all. And the latter is the exception, not the rule.

Employment contracts are actually very prevalent. Are you conflating the United States with the entire world?

This is so out touch that it is laughable

It's always been the case.

But now it happened in FAANG so it burst the bubble of the proportionally few who used to feel special.

Well, it's not only big tech that pays high salaries.
