They have a Premium subscription now at £190 a year and that still only has 2TB shared so god knows how much the Pro tier will cost.

If you're the only user on your Family OneDrive I believe you will get access to the full 2TB.

Ya cant trust a thing M$ says!!
Years ago I read that on my computer (98se) you needed to have this in your host file
127.0.0.1 localhost
Well I took that out many years ago and it runs fine... I also changed to 0 from 127.0.0.1 and that also works fine...
Ya cant always believe what ya read online mates!!
I am curious do the newer OSs work fine without the localhost entry???

Re: Microsoft grievances
Look; I think you are all being very, very selfish, complaining about MS reducing storage allocations. Have you not got any concerns or considerations at all about the sorry state of the billionaire tech-bros, who desperately, desperately need every gigabyte of storage they can get for their hungry AI data centres, sorry, of course I mean their children.
While you want to waste this valuable resource on keeping pictures and videos for your child’s first steps, weddings, pictures of your late parents and grandparents - how much better would it be to use those resources to produce videos of cats, apparently surfboarding, riding bicycles, abseiling down St. Peter's Basilica?
I hope you are all thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.

Most AI Data Centres are HBMs and not storage so not the same thing at all ;-)

Far as I can tell, someone complained it was going to cost more to store less/fewer photo's.
Then other jumped in with suggestions for alternative storage and prices
Which then turned into discussing data centers and expensive and faster memory modules.
Only thing I'm definitely sure about is how prices are rising if you want to upgrade your PC.

That is because the 3 memory manufacturers are putting most the Silicon into HBM for AI which as a lower fault tolerance and uses IIIRC upto 3x the silicon compared to standard consumer memory. With Nvidias contribution to the problem we have increases in consumer ram modules which is passed on to lots of other electronics noticeably the XBox the PS5 and mobile phones . I know you did not need an explanation but I like the sound of my own type (a nice tactical Corsair mechanical keyboard haha)
