No, it hasn't required Java (for the vast majority of the suite) for many years. There are still a handful of database features which use it, but otherwise you can do pretty much everything, without having Java installed.

Also notorious for not actually cancelling the service so watch and make a followup call noting the day you called the last time if they try and charge you. all over the net with people having issues of being charged after canceling.

We paid for 24 Mbps and pretty much always got 18-20, usually more like 20; next tier down was 16 Mbps. Also, it was the only gig in town unless you went with satellite. Your situation would be really sucky though. I’m sorry you had to deal with that.

Was on my phone yesterday and didn't feel like typing a longer sentence but I actually really do appreciate the people behind LibreOffice. I used to use KMS Pico for Windows office suite but recently, the last 2-3 years, I've honestly gotten so used to LibreOffice I even install it to work-provided computers out of habit. It's quick, not bloated, slick and compatible with Windows Office suite and Google Docs. It just works.

But wait I thought everyone on Reddit was going to cancel their Netflix and go back to Comcast.

Worst customer service. Will never try to be competitive and lie to you. Only when you're no longer a customer will they try to work with you. Unfortunately I'm stuck with them for internet.

I would think a big pigeon would taste like squab. Plus I’ve heard the Dutch can be fussy eaters.

It was more likely the introduction of pigs and macaques than rats.

LPT, if you're ever trying to cancel Comcast, all you have to do is say you're moving out of the country. They stop asking questions after you tell them which one.

I like it, in conjecture with cloud support I feel safer using it than Microsoft 365 or G Suite.

I recently discovered there’s a independent internet company installing fiber around my city that guarantees identical 1 GB speeds for both up and down. They’re also like $60 cheaper than the Gig internet I get from Xfinity/Comcast. Soon I’ll be switching to that too. We just can’t keep paying these high prices with dismal results. I.E. With Xfinity I can get close to 1 GB down, but definitely not 1 GB up, moreover in order to get those speeds I had to “pretend” to be a business. SMH

Whatever forces these shitheels to provide better Internet service at a bare minimum is fine by me.

So, I live out in the boonies and WS is the only option. We're currently on 30mbps and I can't check to see if fiber is available at my location on their website because we're... already their customers. Odd decision, but okay.
I start hammering in random addresses also on my street to find one it lets me work with and we're locked into either 15 or 30, and we already have 30.
Who at WS should we contact for fiber expansion to see when/if they plan on rolling it out here?

How do I find out if I can have the fiber?

The original rules weren't made to be fun. It was to show how awful late stage capitalism would be, then taken from the creator and turned into a "fun" game.

They’ve had AI projects for years and we have no real idea what is going on there.

>Huh, I haven't used it in years but it's great to see them still chugging along!
Biggest change, over the last couple years, imo, has been the ability to select gui themes that completely change the appearance to match other office suites.
Been using for several years, but since college, the need hasn't been as big as it once was.
