Microsoft Office support in Windows 10 ends in October too - what that really means
-
yea who ever things that is a good idea, while we have MariaDB, PostgreSQL and Valkey should be fired.
-
Who needs align right when you can just hold the space-bar till it's there, or if you are a pro tab then space for perfect alignment
-
Oh no, we'll have to use something other than terrible, AI ridden MS office? How terrible
-
I have spent the last several weeks re-creating documents like this there were developed and maintained by one guy for 38 years.
There's a half page drawing done in word that is lines and boxes and text all as text and positioned with spaces and tabs. I think I took a screenshot of it and just made it all one picture -
LibreOffice FTW screw Microshaft!
-
Fuck windows for doing that; I unintentionally switched to MacOS
-
It's a trade-off for sure, but they're both free/FOSS. So it's worth test driving both.
I used primarily open office and Libreoffice 10-15 years ago and it was dated then but competitive. Trying it this year left me feeling like it hadn't gotten much interface work in that time.
I really wish the team would invest in a serious overhaul that's long overdue. The back end, especially when it comes to huge files, outperforms onlyoffice by a mile. But for me, only office is faster to use because the navigation is so much easier.

You can use the IRS' new Direct File service. It's what we should've had ages ago, letting citizens file their taxes directly without a for-profit middle man. There are still a couple of scenarios they don't support, since it's still in development and is only in it's second year of use, but in my experience it's already competent and helpful.
And, as a bonus, you don't have to give any money to Intuit/TurboTax to keep lobbying the government to make our tax code as arcane as possible so that people need their services to file taxes.

Did they learn to type on a typewriter?

365 is not equals office ltsc. fuck off with the clickbait titles.
-
Another vote for Freetaxusa. TurboTax might be marginally easier to use, but it is far more expensive and Intuit is a horrible company. If you hate filing taxes (because of the complexity), that is because Intuit and H&R Block lobby congress to keep things complicated so they can sell you their products.

Apparently my state is lagging behind the times

I’ve heard it said that Excel is the second best program for everything. DB? Excel. CRM? Excel. Word editor? Browser? Calendar? Doom? Yup, you guessed it.
Just like Outlook, which my users essentialy used as a file storage… Sadly I’m not joking that when the first SSDs came out I had a user who I installed an SSD in his PC just to put his stupid PST files on, because having them on a HDD would cause his Outlook to have a meltdown.
I’m so happy I don’t have end users any more…
-
What if you pay for ESU?
-
OneNote is honestly a really awesome product as well. Especially for use with a pen.
-
I just don’t know how to use databases like those, so I just use excel for my small business.
-
Windows 10 will become unsupported but I still anticipate it working fine even without updates. I suspect office will work the same on existing machines.
