Barry Cook<p>As some users of a particular VPN have recently discovered, a ‘lifetime’ subscription is a dubious selling point and shouldn’t be the most important factor in getting a product. <br>Who’s ‘lifetime’? Certainly not the subscriber. The lifetime of the app? The company? The OS on which you use it?<br>There’s questionable value of subscription over a one-time buy. That said, the stand-alone Office 2021 works on MacOS 12, but further updates require +12.

I have to go to All <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Subscriptions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Subscriptions</span></a>. Neither did I subscribe to another channel since I last saw TDS nor would a channel I watch 4 to 5 times a week be the first choice to kick out of that menu. There are channels I haven't opened for weeks [b/c they haven't posted in months]..</p><p>Strange.</p>
