Switching away was actually very easy. You can get a CSV with all of your information in a few clicks.

Because they already have your money and don't consider the long-term effect of losing a future customer due to the lack of updates.

Some restaurant owners don't like this. It gives the impression that the restaurant is charging that extra money.

I've been using the same non-free service for filing because it saves my info from the previous year and that simplifies the whole process. Filing the federal is free, and they charge something like $30 for filing state. I'm ok with paying it for the time-savings.

What's funny is that to solve your server problem, all you needed was a $100 KVM. Instead you did the IT thing and took the long way around and accidentally started what is looking like a successful business.

If it was like my experience, you're told which one it is before you get the vaccine. I was given a 2-page write up on the Pfizer vaccine as I waited to receive the shot.

The other side is people get mad at them for allowing legitimately fake news to propagate.

The pessimistic side of me says that they know they're going to lose. However they're investing the $175m in the meantime and will make more money from it than they're losing by paying the lawyers.

I'll sometimes go on interviews when I'm NOT looking for a job. It's good practice and keeps you informed of what's out there.

Microsoft at least doesn't have a reputation for permanently removing access to all of your data because you did something horrible like dispute a false charge. Google, on the other hand...

Sometimes there is no income. For instance, I used to work for a Credit Union. The board members were elected by account holders. The board members were considered "volunteers". They are legally not allowed to receive compensation for their role.

I wonder how long until they become the third-party data collection service for other companies.

Because a lot of people have their Office 365 subscription and maybe just use email. All of a sudden they realized they are paying for all this other stuff they aren't using so they're leveraging it now that they need it.

I agree. If it were up to /r/personalfinance, everyone would have three credit cards and that's all they would ever use and it would solve every financial problem ever. They fail to realize that many people (myself included!!) are just not equipped for credit cards and it can cause huge problems.

Yeah but their real competition is streaming audio services.

It's not just Enterprise. Plenty of small businesses use Office 365 as well. They don't all have on-site IT staff, and they often don't have competent IT consultants who keep an eye on this stuff.

Make sure they have time to do it. If they feel like they have a lot on their plate or a higher-up breathing down their neck, then new learning will not be a priority.

Yeah, that's kind of what I've expected. However, having the police report often helps when dealing with the bank if there is any real fraudulent activity. It shows them you're serious.

Start interviewing for other jobs just in case. Also, if you want to stay, try to find a way to compensate for not being on call. Provide an extra value to them beyond what everyone else is doing and beyond what is in your job description. That worked for people at my previous employer who didn't want to be on call.

Technically, so can iMessage, so they should ban that too.

While I'm kind of on your side, there is an argument to be made for hauling him back in. If you know he's there and let him live there, you set a precedent: "It's OK to escape from prison as long as you live in the woods."

Maybe he disliked you so much that it made the female officer seem that much better. In the end, he didn't jump. Sounds like you got a win to me.

You can just get a smart TV and don't connect it to your network. They still have HDMI ports so you can connect whatever you want.

I leave my Kindle in airplane mode for weeks at a time and have never experienced this. I've had Kindles for 6 or 7 years now.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I have fond memories of meeting friends at the mall.

Technically, according to their rules, you are supposed to leave the key in the car. I didn't think anyone actually paid attention to that rule.

That's why I always took the key with me, despite the fact that they tell you not to.

I can't wait until it falsely identifies the dirt and I can't charge my phone any more.

Ideally, the point of school is to help children figure out how to contribute to society once they are no longer in school. Some children do this by being good at sports. Yeah, that sounds weird, but a lot of people make their living through sports or sport-related fields.

Do you think we should end the art and music "farm system" too?

I actually had a job where part of my responsibility was processing this file. It was literally me opening WS_FTP Pro and manually downloading and uploading that file. It blew my mind that this was how we were doing it.
