Those keys are mostly ‘volume keys’ which are meant for devs. Some people sign up as devs and pay some joining fees and in return they get lots of Office keys and sell it on their website. You can’t use those product keys if you want to use Office on a different device as it’ll not bind to your MS account or can’t be activated on a different machine. You need to buy another key to use it on a different machine.

This is becoming more common nowadays. Earlier it was a tiny “x” now you can’t even see the actual button.

I simply uninstall the app or the game whenever I get a full screen ad. Getting a full screen ad or an automatically sound enabled ad is not my thing.

Can you imagine if every company forces users to use Passkey instead of other log in methods, how many printed copies or keys you’ll need, plus the spare copies and back-up keys?

I don’t understand why apps and services are so obsessed with ‘Passkey’ or password-less login. I know there’s some risk using email & password login method, but the passkey thing is half-baked and it locks users from getting their account back if somehow they forget it, especially Google’s passkey approach is totally awful.

That’s not new, they have been doing this for a while now. 1st noticed when the S10 series was launched.

Brexit effect. Slowly but surely starts to show some results.

Now they should shut down those spy apps, I mean social media apps.

Update it to CS2. CSGO is now replaced with CS2.

Speaking of classic puzzle games, I want to play Hexic once again. Unfortunately, it’s not available for PC. Microsoft needs to bring it to the PC.

Ubisoft: Whatever, hold my subscription.

I hope they don’t say gamers need to pay a subscription fee to keep their purchased games.

Then there comes the EU rules. I think if Sony or Nintendo try to block the Game Pass on their platforms. MS will seek the EU’s help.

Looks like Microsoft is now entirely focusing on selling games rather than selling Xbox. I read somewhere that eventually they’ll bring the Game Pass to Play Station and Nintendo. It’s no surprise if they do so because last year they earned more money on Game Pass than selling hardware.
