Those users could become loyal to Microsoft, White said. And eventually, some users may even “get tired of bypassing the Microsoft account requirements, or Microsoft will add a new feature that they’ll happily get the account for, and they’ll relent and start using a Microsoft account,” White suggested in his video. “At least some people will, not me.” Microsoft declined Ars’ request to comment.

The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here. Who in your life would appreciate fewer things and more experiences? We all know someone who would much prefer to do something than get more “stuff.” Rather than giving a gift that may be left in a drawer forgotten over time, the gift of experience is one of the best gifts you can give.

There’s something about stepping into a clean hotel room that instantly melts all stress away. The quality of sleep you get is even better. If I’m being honest, sleeping at a rental share doesn’t compare to the sleep I get at a five-star hotel.

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has taken the world by storm since its launch in November 2022. What started as a tool to supercharge productivity through writing essays and code with short text prompts has evolved into a behemoth with 300 million weekly active users. 2024 was a big year for OpenAI, from its partnership with Apple for its generative AI offering, Apple Intelligence, the release of GPT-4o with voice capabilities, and the highly-anticipated launch of its text-to-video model Sora. OpenAI also faced its share of internal drama, including the notable exits of high-level execs like co-founder and longtime chief…

Halloween isn’t just about ghosts, ghouls, and overpriced costumes that disintegrate after one use. For financially aware adults, the real chills come from spreadsheets, surprise bills, and market meltdowns that turn your net worth chart into a horror movie graph. After over three decades of studying, working through, and writing about financial ups and downs, I’ve realized the most frightening moments don’t come from boogeymen, they come from ourselves. We love to create self-inflicted financial pain for some reason. In the spirit of the season, here are eight of the scariest financial situations that can haunt anyone. Some I’ve lived…
