The article makes some very good points. And among other things,
note the term; 'Tip Creep'.

Me too. For over 25 years, with Zip disks. Complete backups monthly, all financial files whenever changed, with a DOS batch file selecting. Of course, on a machine not connected to the internet.  

Wow ... That brings back memories ...

Suggestion . . .

Store & Backup all your documents, files, photos, etc. on Encrypted Memory Sticks (instead of OneDrive, iDrive, etc.), and then your Not held Captive/Beholden to Anyone . . .

It works for me

Yep. I've been doing monthly critical data backups onto USB sticks for 15+ years.

I retain monthly backups for the this and last year, quarterly for the previous 2 years and year-end for years before that ...

Much the same here. I'll use 'take out' rather than sit in a crowded restaurant. Partially to avoid tipping stress but mainly to enjoy food in the privacy of my own home.  

Did you try to learn to cook? WAY, WAY better to eat when you KNOW what you are eating instead of somebody's snot or nails or whatever dipped in 1000x cooked oil and other garbage.

I reduced my visits to restaurant because of tipping inflation and go to fast food or food court instead which don't require tipping. Also I don't accept inflated default tipping rate 20% or so and tip a lower rate if I do go to a restaurant.

Again, microsoft extends updates and you agree to onedrive service which becomes a paid service?

It is tied to your email and thus all your windows devices and/or more?

Is it still 5gb and then they want money as per my page 3 post #56?

Kudos to Microsoft for doing that, for those with computers that can't handle Windows 11. But come Oct. 2027 ... their time will be Up !

IMO, it's already a leap of faith ... committing up front for 360-days *prepaid* to a new service provider. Mind as well take another leap of faith to believe ... whatever will-be will-be

In order to receive the additional $5 credits, in the case of 360-day plans, your friend must continue with Koodo for at least a month following the expiry of their 360-day plan.

... the referee must make one renewal whether it be another 360D or another 30D.

I was the referer to two referee and received 2 x$5 x5. I think they join the prepaid program on monthly. However, since I am on 360D, my credits remain on file until my next renewal.

IMO, it is better to go monthly first and iron out all the issues. At least, you still can cut your cost if things doesn't work out. Hope this helps.
