So you ended up spending money that you were not planning to spend in the first place, because the advertisers succeeded in provoking in you a sense of necessity where none existed before. I would rather keep advertisements specifically res

That page is such a gem. > "make it easier to enter dates. For example, 12/2 changes to 2-Dec" 12/2 is obviously the 12th of February in my locale. But I need to keep Excel in English as a company policy, so this is n

Their business model seems to be "simply" for users to pay for storage. From the ToS: "The test period of the product begins on 01.06.2023 and applies to the non-guaranteed maximum duration of one year. [...] Prices for our s

I wonder if this is linked to the other HN entry [1] titled "Windows 11 will respect default browser for system apps in the European Union." [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37320786
