I have used DDNS before, but totally unfamiliar with what you refer to in your comment. Care to elaborate a bit?

I have used a couple of OneDrive family accounts to host some media files that I wanted to preserve (yt video downloads, academic courses and papers collected from questionable soruces). What are the chances MS blocks access to my data in the next 1 year?

CEO within CEO is for separate Business Units or divisions, which is clearly not the case here.

I wonder how much of this was driven by Nadella. MS has made some brilliant purchases recently.

mandis | 4 years ago | on: A Gov.uk site dedicated to porn?

Indeed, I would love to get more details on what all went into it, and how far can we stretch such a SBC.

EDIT: evidently, not far

disheartening to see this downvoted. I come here for relatively neutral discussions.
