PayPIGGLER - - mental illness

No.99712049 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
imagine paying for !LICENSES! - to not even have a copy - of a video game, but a mere !LICENSE! to play one off from a service that sets rules on HOW You are allowed to play this game, and it gets even worse,
PayPIGLLER is not just proud of being mentally ill,
PayPIGGLER WILL defend his mentally ill, consumerist, activities as only honor it has .
to a PayPIGGLER there is no greater honor than to display how much money he spent in his favorite shit-store
do not be a PayPIGGLER !
cure Your mental illness and simply torrent everything You need.

Microsoft has blocked Russia

No.99707733 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Henceforth Russia is prohibited from use cloud services

https://www.mikrobitti.fi/uutiset/mb/494b885c-dcd3-4f17-83ac-4a649c302ba0

Blockade starts 1. April 2024, it will not be possible to use Russian IP to use the Microsoft services from then on.

These were blocked:
Microsoft Azure
Dynamics 365
Power BI
SQL Server
Visual Studio (cloud version)
Power Automate
Sharepoint
Intune
Dynamics AX/NAV
Microsoft 365
Onedrive
Excel (cloud version)

Microsoft cannot block usage of Office 2010 (including Excel 2010) but they are quite old by now and email functions of Office 2010 would not work anyway if the program is offline.
