Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.
"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".
You're welcome. Please boost for others.
Hypolite Petovan mag das.

Als Antwort auf Tim 🎮 • • •I wish I'd seen this last month when I was in Perth and could have changed my parent's subscription. I looked and couldn't find it, and was somewhat time constrained so breaking it wasn't an option.
My father once thought his keyboard was broken because he wasn't reading the "this document is read only because the licence key for Word has expired" message (they'd been on holiday and not used the computer for some months). So despite his many other skills I am wary of doing anything that might leave his tech in a non-working state. (Also I suck at doing tech support for my parents. I have very little patience because THEY JUST WON'T LISTEN ARGH)

Edit: this was a foolishly optimistic thing to bother saying

Sometimes you've been using the same thing for 15 years and it would take months of concerted effort to switch it out of your life.
Sometimes you don't have the time and energy and interest to invest in thinking about goddamn software that really shouldn't need to change.
Sometimes you're 78 and anything that threatens your connection to your grandchildren is terrifying.
These and many others are reasons why "just use FOSS, bro" is useless noise. Stop assuming otherwise.

Als Antwort auf Tim 🎮 • • •This is fascinating. Perhaps different territories have different options/plans. I'm in UK and our "Business Standard" package is currently without CoPilot as a sneaky add-on. I will keep a close eye on this tho.
Thank you for posting about this.
