A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I have stopped buying lifetime subscriptions to cloud services unless they pay off within a year or two since you can't guarantee that they'll be honoured. Any longer and you stand to lose too much money.

Good advice in general; even contractual fuckery aside, you can't guarantee a company will even still exist this time next year.
