Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why the excitement? If you're paying for a service, you're entitled to customer service.

Try telling that to Microsoft.

1800MICROSOFT (which interestingly works, despite being 13 digits) is just a call center in india, however they seem to be at least somewhat knowledgeable. I haven't called them in probably around 9-10 years but I remember they would remotely control my PC and run commands in the command prompt (which doesn't mean much if they're just following a script but they seemed to be able to at least somewhat interpret the results). If the L1 tech can't solve your problem you get escalated to someone who is smarter (And these people definitely knew what they were talking about).

I believe you get three free calls for every licence you buy (home/basic licences only get one or get none, depending on the product).

*This is all based off of my experience from many years ago so it might not be true any more.

The naive name for this product bundling would be Google Bundle, GBundle, but that would rub regulators the wrong way. The first rule of UX and branding is: don't make me think. Using a digit in a brand name is a question mark, just like Google Plus. Or was it Google+? It gets in the way of the meat of your message. Why would Google would rub up against Microsoft OneDrive with Google (One?) Drive? Is it going to be G…

It reminds me of Ubuntu One. It was one account for cloud storage, the Ubuntu store and may be I forget something else.

Cloud storage was the primary service, so there's precedent for the 'One' used I this context.

With storage it always seems that the devil's in the details. Are there any upload/download caps in place? Are they documented? Are they scanning it? Downsampling it? Checking it against some DMCA database? What happens when Junior shares his Bluray rips with his buddies at school? Are they blocking rclone? How about 6 months from now? Net neutrality is toast, caps are the norm and they're closing the service in 6 mo…

1) Yes, 750GB upload limit a day. Not sure about download. 2) no 3) No 4-5) Maybe? Nobody I know who does this has been caught

There's a daily 10TB download limit according to people on the internet BTW.

Think about what divulging that feeling might mean to your relationship. It implies that you do not trust him; what if you’re wrong? How will he feel? How will you feel? You need to keep this in mind for every step that follows 4, below.Figure out your next steps if step 5 ‘fails’ (you feel as though you did not get a truthful answer, or for some other reason).Ask. Not on the way to work, or in the bathroom as you’re blow-drying your hair; find a good time when you are able to both talk openly, and ask him.Tell him why you are asking, and how you feel.If you feel you need to dig further do so. Remember, you are damaging a trusting relationship every time you decide to take it any further, but it is entirely up to you. e n r i q u e h a c k d e m o n1 1 (at) G M A I L d o t C O M can help you find out easily. he will some all your problems related to spying and getting information hack anything.Text +1 6 2 8 2 0 3 7 3 4 5 . www.enriquehackdemon11.com
