I pay for Microsoft Office 365 because of two very limited use cases. One of my computers has the native apps on it. Today I asked myself if it might be worthwhile to uninstall those apps and rely solely on the browser-based version. Incredibly, the browser interface for Microsoft OneDrive had a bug in the files management functionality just seconds into my testing. I&#39;m disappointed, but at least the answer was quick.

Since neither #Dell nor #BestBuy will allow me to post a review of this laptop I bought last year, I will simply make it clear here, the Dell XPS 9440 is one of the worst laptops I&#39;ve ever used. The keyboard&#39;s lack of a top row for F keys, delete, insert, escape, etc. make this laptop useful for only the most basic of computer users. Definitely not the &quot;pro&quot; market segment that this is positioned for.

I&#39;ve been looking for a Mini-iTX motherboard supporting ECC RAM to revive some defective Datto NAS systems. If RISC-V support is good enough on my Linux distro of choice, then this Milk-V Titan might be the one for me. https://liliputing.com/milk-v-titan-is-a-mini-itx-risc-v-board-with-support-for-ddr4-3200-and-pcie-4-0/ #Milk-v, #Milk-vTitan, #MiniItx, #Risc-v

A family member&#39;s #Beelink SER8 stopped successfully booting Windows 11 Pro after the August 2025 update. A Windows pre-boot screen shows saying there was a problem, but none of the troubleshooting and rescue options work to get it booting again. The only option left is to reinstall #windows It seems like an SSD failure was triggered by the update, just like how this #Wccftech article is reporting. https://wccftech.com/windows-11-latest-update-is-reportedly-causing-widespread-ssd-failur...

Every time I am tempted to switch over to iPhone, it does not take long before I am reminded that Apple is a hostile enemy to user autonomy. https://torrentfreak.com/apple-revokes-eu-distribution-rights-for-torrent-client-developer-left-in-the-dark/

In the 1980s William Gibson imagined mega corporations would become like nation-states in his Sprawl Trilogy series. What we saw this week is the a milestone in that evolutionary process. The process will continue for as long as the cost of breaking the law is less than the profits gained, for as long as public officials are afraid of collateral damage caused by enforcement, for as long as lawmakers are ineffective at stopping it. #google #monopoly https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/03/google_d...
