  You don't seem to understand any piece of software that is running between two computers, means you no longer own your machine and they can do whatever they want to it, you are running corporately hacked software. The level of stupid comming out of HN commentariat is alarming. You're literally buying internet dongle enabled software, aka something someone stupid would be doing. Imagine in the 90's you bought a PC and windows required a second disc and an ethernet cable coupled to the back of a staples store you bought it in. That's "software as a service", aka something morons would do. Whenever you don't get a complete piece of software you are literally being robbed, the fact Hacker news commentators think themselves "hackers" while supporting defective software, means your brains aren't working. The idea that having microsoft and big companies ability to spy on everything you do is somehow enlightened is nonsense, you're an idiot building a turnkey tyranny, if politics ever goes south all these companies will have all the data they want about you and your behavior and you'll morn the day you gave away your basic rights to privacy for stupid consumer convenience.
