  • This was always the case in the web version of Outlook, and the mobile client. If you subscribe to 365, ads are removed.

    I noticed this last year when I moved away from 365 and started getting ads on the Outlook mobile client. I ended up binning it off and just used the default Mail app on iOS, which is a shame because the Outlook app on phones is actually superb. Not good enough to put up with ads though.

    This is in danger of being an unpopular opinion, but the Xbox Series X is mine. For a comparatively low hardware price (i.e. vs PC), I’ve got access to current gen games, and (often) improved versions of a huge number of games from previous generations. Then there’s Game Pass. I know there’s bound to be divided opinion on the value of that, but for me it’s incredible. It’s very easy to find discounts, and the library is decent and updated regularly. For the cost of one triple-A game per year, I’m able to play several, plus my kids can download whatever takes their fancy.

    Sure there’s the ownership vs rental argument, but I’m not one to revisit games I’ve beaten. For me, the Xbox represents the best value gaming proposition available (outside of piracy).

    I remember the days of my PS1, which I loved, and I think I had a grand total of about 6 games throughout my time with it. According to the “Owned Games” section of my Xbox library, I have 250 spanning 4 generations , which doesn’t even include Game Pass. It’s borderline absurd!

    The quick resume feature is excellent, the controllers are great, it’s silent, unobtrusive, and the streaming to other devices works great for when I’m at my desk. Couldn’t be happier with it.
