worlds most over glorified over priced office website that runs like a slug
I'm so glad I work in an industry where I can get away with using Libre Office.
I guess I should be happy I applied a work discount, which extended my subscription until Oktober 2026 or something.
Subscriptions like these have always been a scam.
I’ve had nothing but issues administrating Office 365. A price hike like this is incentivizing me to push other products like Google workspace.
Nice parts are definitely user email tools and some of the audit tools, but I keep finding myself in scenarios where I get error 500s on the server side when I pop open dev tools and it’s like I don’t want to tell my users that they’re SOL but they sort of are if I can’t resolve some error on Microsoft’s o365 servers. Microsoft likes to ask what I did to fix the case if I fix it before they do and I just laugh and not rely to those. They can pay me extra for that or hire me if they want that info.
I use ms office 2007 it runs perfectly in wine and still has the cool version of wordart
Huh, do you think I can run Office 2013 in Wine? It'd the best version of office IMHO.
No idea, that one has the boring word art
I've been using one drive for my phone photos backup, joplin notes store and keepass. It seemed like the most economical solution cus other vendors don't really offer 1TB, it's usually something stupid like jumping from 200GB or 2TB. Don't know if I should invest in a NAS or something, but I just don't wanna deal with the hardware and networking if I have to open some ports at home , unless I can use cloudflare as well
Look into Syncthing if you have a home server - very easy phone backups that cost nothing.
Don't even need home server, regular PC with a disk will do. Just fireup syncthing on both devices and voila. Can set syncthing to start on pc
Yep, absolutely.
Although when doing so, that would make your regular PC a server. Doesn't stop it continuing to be a regular PC as well.
Ya but wouldn't I need to open up ports or host a VPN ? Otherwise my phone won't backup unless I'm at home
You need a way to connect to your home server from the internet, yes. You can do it easily using cloudflare tunnels or using one of the many vpn systems for your phone.
According to the website it uses UPnP. So it might still work.
This is like adding ESPN to the live TV package.
So glad I never had to deal with cable, or internet companies.
Just $25/month with Visible and I have unlimited data with tethering.
apparently super easy to get it forever free
Would I see Copilot in the OHook'd Office 365? If not, yay!
