Any thoughts on All-in-one computers?

After looking at the decades I've used Microsoft Office, I can't say that the changes they've made to it have made me any more efficient.

I recently decided to drop my Office 365 subscription and went with LibreOfifice instead.

If Microsoft wants me to use Office they need to bring back Clippy.

 

Or Google?

If a product is free?
YOU are the product.

If you can't 'do Linux' AT LEAST get an Apple.
Apple, for all of their faults - and those faults are CONSIDERABLE makes the right noises at the right times about privacy being important.
AND...Open Office (or - better, Libreoffice) works in IOS.
It's complicated.
I get that, and there's nothing inherently wrong with trusting a for-profit institution to manage your docs and photos!
It's the "Easy" (or Diet Coke) Button of the 21st century!

Just remember that you're going to be 'paying tha man' every 5 years or so for new HARDWARE because of a security deficiency in the SOFTWARE.

That's because they make all their money on the back end by constantly finding new ways to make the unwitting waiver of your privacy rights more marketable to advertiser and fascists.

 

I can imagine advertisers meekly paying for the unwitting waiver of your privacy rights. Don't fascists just send goons into agencies to demand database admin rights and hoover up whatever they want?

 

It's total surveillance all the time of anyone they want to pay attention. Microsoft's biggest contracts with the government provided a dashboard for fascist to find out everything about you if they need to. Snowden exposed alot of this, but not all of it. Of course the golden era when governments all over the world were giving the US a strategic advantage by using Microsoft have mostly ended.

These days the scary stuff is they're using AI to target and eliminate people without human oversight... Then again ever since IBM's couch-sized punch card computers made the genocide of WWII efficient, big tech has always played a major role in mass murder.
