Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are still included with every Apple device. The current versions are fully up to date and are free for any device owner.

What Apple has done is put the AI features and licensed stock images behind a paywall. Which isn't great, but those weren't core features to begin with; the iWork apps existed long before they were added.

To quote Apple: "Yes. You can continue using Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and Freeform for free. And while these apps remain free for everyone, an Apple Creator Studio subscription offers premium templates, a library of high-quality, royalty-free photos and graphics, and powerful intelligence features."

Why would an otherwise routine software update even come with new EULA terms?

Off the top of my head, I can't recall an Office for Mac update ever coming with a new EULA.

While Office 2021 is affected by the expiring license, it's still under support until Oct 2026 and users just need to update. It only reverts to read-only if you don't update.

Thank you. I had been wondering about this precisely because Office 2021 is still receiving updates.

So this is really only an Office 2019 issue. Which still isn't great, but it is at least older.

And from the sounds of things, this only impacts the retail-licensed version of Office 2019. The volume licensed LTSC version doesn't rely on an activation server or certificates.

When I saw a clip of a baby Yoda slinging the force around willy nilly I realized that Lucasfilm had literally no clue about their own lore any more and had just compromised the whole concept of the force worse than even midi-chlorians ever did. The force requires both discipline and Purpose. They compromised the whole concept of the force for a cheap sight gag.

Besides, the whole story line blowing Boba Fett up into an anti-hero and then building a whole race around the concept was just another case of the tail wagging the dog.

For both reasons I will never watch an episode of the Mandalorian, and definitely not any movie based on it.

Indeed. They simply applied the standard translation matrix to a US company's PR-speak:

This...

...is why...

this.

When they can slop any swill into the trough and the pigs come running, why put in anything different?

so don't blame others for your inability to copy and paste.

I guess we can add a whole new category to the Darwin Awards.

What OS was he using before?

If the executive director wasn't already using it almost solely, that's an OS I'm going to use exactly never.

To propagate through a huge network, 23 minutes max from deletion to all nodes honouring that is pretty respectable. The title "Google API Keys Remain Active After Deletion" while technically true, as a headline it implies something more at work than simple propagation delay. And the text of the Slashdot post "...despite Google Cloud's UI claiming that once a key is deleted it can no longer make API requests..." is a disingenuous clause that also strongly implies darker forces than propagation delay.

While I'm no lover of Google, this is not Slashdot-worthy. Even by the standards of what Slashdot has become.

Anyone with legal experience answer, I'm curious how a question of statute of limitations went to the jury. Is that not a decision of law? And if that was a major factor, how was that not decided first? A full trial wasn't needed to decide whether or not there was even grounds to sue.

Actually, at the extreme scales, which is the total volume of the observable universe, the universe is quite homogeneous. As I recall, to the order of 1-in-10000 variance. This is why Inflationary cosmology was developed, to explain the distinct lack of lumpiness in the universe, which is what we would expect if the Big Bang alone were responsible.

It's modded funny because OpenCL is all but dead for new projects. It got weighed down by industry infighting to the point that the big feature of OpenCL 3.0 in 2020 was undoing everything added to the spec after 2011.

So the idea of using OpenCL as a CUDA replacement, rather than something like ROCm or OneAPI, is funny. It's like rewriting C++ programs to use Pascal.
