Time was when you would be in a forum and think "This is the second post in a row where nobody referenced Douglas Adams."

We wouldn't even know if He had to turn it off and back on again a couple times.

This is how people consume media now. They enjoy it and want more but will only say negative things about it and thrash around in the throws of mock disgust so strong that they start to actually believe their own BS. Well, at least that is how Marvel and Star Wars fans consume media anyway.

Thank you, I'll give it a look.

Unfortunately change is difficult. If it was just me and my controls team we would probably do something like that, but my boss is a little older and I had hard enough time getting him to work on the cloud as it is, and he works in 2 cities, so he isn't always in reach to help him. If it doesn't behave exactly like windows folders, it might be a lost case.

The other people in the office I could train easier. It's a small office with less than a dozen people on the system at any one time. I am "head of IT" but that isn't my main job. Having something that installs and sets up quickly is a boon. Not that the sharepoint folders update all that quickly, it takes almost a full day for all the files to show up properly, especially if it is a new user. And if onedrive chokes on any one file it completely stops updating file changes until you fix that. Not a problem for anybody with some savvy, but half the people don't even notice until their files have diverged and somebody calls them and asks why they don't see some change or another.

All that being said, if I can save a few hundred dollars a month I could probably eventually talk them into moving over to something cheaper like I did with the Wondershare PDF editor. That was an easy move because it works exactly like Adobe but doesn't crash on large files nearly as often. It is sort of a shame that Adobe is worse at handling their own file format than nearly any other PDF editor.

It seems like they are doing this to push back on mono-culture. Probably just to save money really. Using 365 saved our small office a lot of time, but it is pretty expensive since it is a constant subscription. I already switched away from Adobe at to Wondershare for PDF editing since we can get a single purchase from Wondershare and have to pay a subscription to Adobe. I would be tempted to do the same thing with 365 but we do a lot of traveling and the integrated sharepoint files is pretty useful.

Sounds like a great experience. I do plan on finding a place to feed full size Capys or just go back to the place we went to before once they grow up.

Yeah, it is probably smart.

I went to a feeding in a room a lot like this in StAugustine. I don't think that clip is necessary, they were babies like this and were very careful to take even tiny pieces of cabbage without getting their teeth on you.

I remember when Florida had them in large number, not like that but still maybe one every 10 feet or so on the heaviest night I've seen. It was pretty. Now I get excited if I see any at all. If I see 3 in the same night I am ecstatic.

When a company makes a product completely by hand, but uses AI for a few translations it gets the same label as a game pumped out of Grok and uploaded untouched. That label is misleading and punitive, not informative.

Are ants so visual? I guess so, or there wouldn't be enough advantage for these guys to develop. I thought they went purely by sensing pheromones.
