This article only talks about the number of Copilot 365 licences that are active. It doesn’t even consider the situations like my workplace, where everyone was given a licence but hardly anyone uses it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual usage rate for these licences is also very low, meaning the situation could be even more dire than the article makes out.
Interesting that you were still using StoCard. Some months ago the app broke for me and directed me to download Klarna. My info had been migrated over and everything.
I promptly found a new loyalty card app (SuperCards) once I saw the microloans and other unnecessary garbage in Klarna.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer company.
Anecdotally, Klarna is the company that bought StoCard, an app for scanning and storing loyalty cards, and replaced it with their own app. I personally like StoCard and found the microloan bloat of Klarna to be unbearable.
I realize that’s not as serious a charge as the predatory microloans themselves, but it does give me some measure of personal satisfaction to read about their self-inflicted wounds.
I don’t know how to feel about it being an RTS, as I’m pretty bad at those.
I guess a straight slow-time game might end up too similar to the board game, though.
I have been the passenger in a vehicle where the driver didn’t wear their seatbelt, and they drove 30 minutes down the highway with the chime going. I think he may have been partway deaf due to using power tools without ear protection, but now we have two data points in a trend.
Considering he was a smoker too, I wonder what his life is like now 15 years later.
