I am irrationally angry at having to subscribe to Microsoft office to use word and excel

Yall are paying for entertainment and office suite? Just pirate everything, no more wasting money on greedy companies. I didnt even buy a copy of windows and im doing just fine

This trend will continue as software controlled features take over.
That's why the electric cars are a "thing", u don't pay or obey, they can take your movement, with gasoline they cannot track you or stop you....

And you can still move within 5 minutes of gas

Try that on electric....

OnStar and remote tracking and disabling has been a thing for a long time.

Not to mention if you have a smart phone...

Freedom isn't real unless you have a ridiculous amount of money or live in way where you aren't trapped by it maybe.

I like not being trapped.

Need more people to stand up for device security in a way that isn't government funded.

Hi Clubfoot. Here's a screenshot of an answer that generally explains your question.
Ok so i'm confused as I read something about Gov't tracking us etc etc basically something along those lines. I do understand device security in todays world as me being in the financial industry for over 25 years that's all necessary as people don't want to be hacked and personal info out in the web. I laugh at those who think they are being tracked as people have been tracked right back to whatever either digitally or physically. So unless you want to live in the woods without any ties to the world that's about the only way to escape the bad gov't.
To this I conclude my rant :)

In all seriousness, I too laugh at people who are worried about being tracked.

I also do not plan on condemning technology in favor of fear mongering.

I'd rather live in a world where things got better, and not worse. I don't have any grand proposals or solutions. It's fairly easy to not be a piece of shit.

I realize this is an old post but use Microsoft activation scripts guys...it's so easy it's retarded. Just open PowerShell, copy paste and follow the instructions. And 0hook for office365 is elegant.

Have you all noticed all the subscription for basic services creep in recent years? All I want to do is keep an updated budget in excel but I have to submit to Microsoft.

MS 365 is only $9.99 a month for a family plan but I have definitely purchased MS office before. I will have to locate my old disk and see if it still works, I've just move so many times in recent years and am away from home and most of my stuff for a few more months.

not to mention adobe premium if i want to edit a PDF. :mad:

anyways, i just wanted to rant because i'm up early for no reason.

does anyone have rage about this and are there any good solutions? i don't know all the rules here but i assume i can't ask for ?‍☠️ solutions
I'll do you a huge favour. Google: massgrave

Late to this post, but it's live again so what the heck...

Depending on your tolerance for sketchiness of the vendor, you can get the Office 2021 PC client install software package in the $15 to $60 range.

Microsoft will of course try to steer you to their subscription model:

One value add to the subscription model is the 1TB of cloud storage you get. MS OneDrive is very easy to use and I find it valuable to access files from my phone that used to be only on my PC. Having said that, it would be a better value if you got 2TB.
