That's what TFA is about.
> 1. Users are offline; experiencing latency issues or are in unreliable network conditions.
> 2. Fetching the data over the network will be slower than fetching it from a local source.
> 3. The app users should be informed about the low network conditions but it shouldn’t be a hindrance to their objective.
> 4. Users’ network and battery status are taken into account, and thus only the data that has changed since the last synchronization should be synced.
- swyx 4y agowhat is TFA? not a familiar acronym in this context (usually it means The Force Awakens)
- gurjeet 4y ago"The Fine Article". Or you can use your imagination to replace 'Fine' with any other F-word. I think the acronym used to represent the phrase "The F*ing Article", and then, for a softer touch, people changed F to represent 'Fine'.

- thwaway03 4y agoIt stands for The "Fine" Article. If you want a less polite version, replace the F with another word
- slindz 4y agoA school teacher might explain it to be "The Frickin Article".
- version_five 4y ago> Fetching the data over the network will be slower than fetching it from a local source. A big aspect of this is data collection. Microsoft office has tons of features that could easily be local buy that it wants to be "connected services" that are subject to their own TOS so they can steal your data. Based on the lag, it seems like all spell and grammar checks go through some server somewhere, almost certainly with the primary goal of scraping as much info as they can from what you're doing. Online first is all about data harvesting, much less so ease of operation and certainty not customer experience.
