Tech & InnovationThis company wants to help universities get around Microsoft 365's extra costs as it moves away from unlimited cloud storage

If you rely on bundled storage from a platform provider, model out the paid scenario now and identify where third-party or on-prem alternatives actually make sense instead of waiting for the bill shock.
Tech & InnovationMy housemate keeps losing their keys, so I bought them these AirTag dupes that are better value
