Cool story mate. I haven’t turned off or one of my laptops running linux in almost 400 days.

Maybe consider running security updates if they’re connected to the internet.

Mate I get the flex but def restart them occasionally unless you understand the security risk you’re taking on.

I’m glad to hear something it happening. It was discussed all over lemmy what a shitty thing it was that they were doing.
Basically they told everyone that the annual cost of the subscription was going up significantly, and shortly after they announced that the subscription was getting Copilot included. Then if you went to cancel, they offered you the old price without Copilot.
Plus it was a dumb Copilot offering because if you were on the family subscription only the main person would even get access to it, not the other 5.

Damn, they tricked me. I saw the jump up for my business 365 and immediately implemented self hosted version of OneDrive, shifted my email hosting to purely mail ($10 a year) and started moving the family over to libre office.
Oh well.

I was similar. I have had a self-hosted Nextcloud for years but had a OneDrive family subscription that I had a bunch of family on. When I got this notice I still had 6 months before renewal, so cancelled and made a plan to move everyone across to Nextcloud. That was completed some time ago, no complaints from anyone.
