    Office 2011 Download: Am I screwed into 365?

    Recently I had just upgraded my mac, and have held onto my product key from years ago to put into any new computer (like this current situation).

    Microsoft's new Edge browser is a great alternative to Chrome for those seldom occasions when Safari won't do

    Safari is my main browser across all my Apple devices. While it's a good browser, that isn't necessarily by choice, as Apple prevents their users from choosing a different default browser. However, in macOS you have a bit more freedom than Apple's other platforms, and while I still use Safari...

    The Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the Mac Appstore updated and is completely broken connecting to a Win10 Pro desktop. Graphics artifacts and glitches make it unusable. The release notes mention updates to video encoding used so I assume it's something to do with that. Is there any way...

    Office 365 = ransomware?

    I've just spent days locked out of my copy of Office '11. The reason? A lapsed subscription to Office 365. I've owned Office '11 pretty much since its release. 4-years back I subscribed to 365 as I needed it for work at the time. When Office '16 became available I trialled it but found it was...

    iOS mail or gmail AND outlook?

    I have the iPhone X, I have email with outlook and gmail, I’ve been using the official apps for both but am tempted to use the built in mail app but I’m concerned that as gmail has to use fetch it will drain the battery?

    Who is responsible for broken Autodiscover?

    Hi - I have several clients on Rackspace Hosted Exchange. Recently, after updating to iOS 11, Autodiscover is no longer working for these people. They must manually enter all their server information - which sort of defeats the purpose of why I have them stationed there. I spoke to a...
