It is so depressing how backwards modern technology is, and worse yet, how we are just supposed to put up with it. Microsoft STILL hasn't said what they think they use TPM for. Of course, we know it is a 100% fake requirement but as far as the rest of the world it concerned, it is just time to throw everything more than a couple years old in the trash and buy all new stuff.
I was just given the task to do sort of a review of a software-as-a-service-give-us-your-data-biatch based spreadsheet for someone. At one time people ran out and bought personal computers just to run spreadsheets, and now we are supposed to throw all that power away. Why? Because idiots want to do stuff from their under powered, limited toy cell phones, which ironically require a native "app" because they can't handle the webby version.
Unfortunately, I don't know how that compares to the current Microsoft Excel 2021. People don't even seem to know that Office 2021 still exists, since Microsoft heavily promotes their subscription version instead. But you can't just buy a CD-ROM of it any more. As far as I can tell even this version forces you to sign up for a Microsoft Account just to buy it. I don't know if it is also required to use it. That is just awful.
