Wish I had your confidence. They absolutely will get away with it, mainly because of the USA and also that no sane person wants a war between two diehard regimes in Israel and Iran.

It is worrying, and I have no love for the Iranian regime, but why was Israel allowed to get away with attacking an embassy?

Attacking an embassy is against all forms of international law.

If the raise prices too much I'm going to finalise my plan to move to YouTube Music family plan. Additional bonus will be no more adds on YouTube.

Don't fall for this self hosting stuff. It's well meant and great for single tech enthusiasts, but with family, you won't have enough time to do the required upkeep and the whinning you will here from dependents when stuff goes wrong isn't worth it.

Artificial-intelligence aide handles email, meetings and other things, but its price and limited use have some skeptical

Microsoft’s new artificial-intelligence assistant for its bestselling software has been in the hands of testers for more than six months and their reviews are in: useful, but often doesn’t live up to its price.

The company is hoping for one of its biggest hits in decades with Copilot for Microsoft 365, an AI upgrade that plugs into Word, Outlook and Teams. It uses the same technology as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and can summarize emails, generate text and create documents based on natural language prompts.

Companies involved in testing say their employees have been clamoring to test the tool—at least initially. So far, the shortcomings with software including Excel and PowerPoint and its tendency to make mistakes have given some testers pause about whether, at $30 a head per month, it is worth the price

It's all good mate. I knew what I was getting myself into. Saying anything pro-Microsoft is a heresy here, and not bowing to Firefox is a penal offense!!
