Well after a decade I have decided to upgrade some software. Bad enough I have to operate with winblows 10. I liked Microsoft office and MS Publisher, and a few other programs. But then I found out you cannot buy them as stand alone programs. And its all of the MS programs for the most part, if you want anything good.
Now you have to have a "Subscription" and make MONTHLY payments.
WTF is this cockelmamy Bullsh*t?!!!
Yes in the day when more than ever, unscrupulous hackers are trying their best to break into your bank account, steal your ID and your life, these idiot software companies want access to your bank account information EVERY MONTH. Do you really think that information is safe with them?
How many times in the last few years have we seen reports on Main Stream news that a corporation had its data based hacked, and peoples information which included credit card numbers, bank account info, and other stuff, was stolen? Does anyone really trust these tech companies with their private info? I sure as heck do not.
And it's not just Microsoft. Just found out photoshop is the same. Ya have to subscribe to it. Nope. Not me. So far every program I wanted to update and upgrade has done this. So I won't be running any software other than win blows 10 that is newer than 2014. Oh well.
Heck I don't like my phone company having my banking information, but to have my phone I have no choice in it. It is either give them the info or no phone. Starting to think that may not be a bad idea.
I had voice mail turned off by my phone service provider because the only people using it were spammers and telemarketers which were not supposed to be calling me at all, since my number has been in the do not call list for over 8 years. That turned out to be a joke, didn't it? The FCC is doing NOTHING to stop those calls.
I bought a new (to me) vehicle that was less than 6 months old (still under original warrantee) 2 months ago, and with in a week, people were calling me telling me it was about to expire and wanted to sell me an extended warrantee. SMH
Ya know, I unplugged my TV in 2006 and sold it. No longer have comcast (SUCKS) cable tv bill anymore. I am about ready to do the same with this computer. I can do email on my "smart phone", if I have to. I really don't need all this invasion of my privacy by these software companies, and utility companies, to survive.
I have a friend who does not have Internet, No TV, No computer, no smart phone. They hate him. No one knows how to contact him. Guess they never heard of a US Postal LETTER!
He has a basic cell phone with no voice mail, no call waiting and if your number is not in his contact list or the caller ID does not show your info, it doesn't even ring. His doctors office hates that. He loves it. No one bothers him anymore and he is free to enjoy the remainder of his life in peace. And hes not paying a single subscription fee.
Facebook and Google are viruses designed to look in your computer for personal information and track every where you go. Even today's smart phones have tracking software built into them. So much for your right to privacy.
I think its time to unplug from this version of the world. I don't like it.
