Badwolf Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I keep trying to stop them but have failed. My thoughts about M/S updates are well documented on various threads.

No they're not!! By agreeing to use his software you give him permission to mess them about as he likes. I must admit to having a total dislike of cookies, and having to opt out of every website I go to to avoid 'targetted advertising' and 'statistics'. Rimmers and Bing give me the popup every single time I go near their services, they just won't take 'reject all' as an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I just accept the lot these days and delete them all at the end of the day. My browser (Opera) is set to reject tracking, popups, blocks ads and also has VPN facilities but this slows down some sites. It has many limitations but it works well for me. As for you agreeing to M/S messing about with their software that is one thing but messing with your settings is tantamount to unfair terms and conditions along with sabotage. About time someone with some clout and megabucks took them to task but they never will until a viable compatible alternative hits the market other than Linux.

Colin Lindsay Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I'm still hopping over Microsoft ending support and registration for Office 2011; I have two copies boxed with licences but they can no longer be activated. Microsoft no longer supports them and has no interest in that version, but they won't allow already purchased copies to be activated if, for example, a software update loses the original activation. I queried it - a lot - that I have spent money on two boxed programmes that were at the time quite expensive, and they have arbitrarily refused me to activate them despite the fact that it would result in no loss of revenue to Microsoft as I'm not buying a later version. The reply was: "Sorry we can't help you, bye!" I'm now using Libre Office instead, it's free and seems to work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
