Excluding web hosting, we are now paying for cloud storage, software suites, streaming, note syncing, social media, etc. I can understand about the cloud storage and streaming part but when software now also become subscription based (we're looking at you Adobe CC and Microsoft Office) no one really owns anything now when it comes to software

Since the significant rise of subscription-based services in the decade 2 of the 2nd millennium, partly thanks to the wide adoption of smartphones, we have been paying for too many services online

Some websites like goodoffer seems to be selling the codes and passing them off as genuine but this practice is dubious. Those codes probably bought with stolen credit cards

What I really hate about the way Microsoft handling it is they never really discounted it after they released Windows 8 & 10. As far as I can remember they still sell it at full or maybe 90% of its original price

Microsoft removed Windows 7 from its online store and the download link many months ago. I regret I didn't get to download it before the removal

It's not that I don't like Windows 10. It's just that I still think that Microsoft put Windows 7 to retire prematurely

I wonder if I can still get a 'fresh' copy of Windows 7 these days. I somehow 'missed' it

To be honest I don't think a partner is necessary right now. At this point I think a relationship is kind of like a burden, too much work, feels like maintaining one would wear me out

To rephrase it again, I'm not against having relationship but I will not actively look for one

So when people ask me am I in a relationship I'd just answer "it's complicated" but I don't mean THAT kind of complicated
