Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows
Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows

Subscriptions have quietly colonized everything. Music, movies, doorbells, heated car seats, and probably your toaster by next Tuesday. Fortunately, Microsoft Office does not have to join the monthly parade.

Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows is currently $27.97 - that's $192 off the regular price of $219.99. You pay once, download the software to one compatible Windows PC, and keep using it without another bill arriving every month wearing a tiny productivity-themed hat.

Eight familiar apps, one deeply unfashionable payment

The package includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and the free version of Teams. That covers writing, spreadsheets, presentations, email, notes, database wrangling, desktop publishing, and meetings that absolutely could have been emails.

Because these are locally installed desktop apps, you can keep working without relying on a constant internet connection. Office 2021 is compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11, and the license is designed for one PC.

Be aware that this is the 2021 edition, so it does not include every new feature Microsoft has added to its subscription products since then. What it does include is the classic Office experience many people already know, minus the obligation to keep renting it.

For PCs that do more than collect browser tabs

This deal is for your Windows PC that truly handles the unglamorous machinery of modern life: tax spreadsheets, résumés, school projects, invoices, meeting decks, and the Word document someone emailed with absolutely no explanation.

Students, freelancers, remote workers, spreadsheet sorcerers, and the household's unpaid IT department can all put the eight-app bundle to work. It is especially useful for anyone who keeps encountering Office files and would prefer to open them without entering another subscription-based relationship.

Get Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows for $27.97, regularly $219.99. this deal ends July 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Light Flip is a minimalist phone without the dumb

Light, maker of the stripped-down Light Phones (previously recommended), today announced the Light Flip, a clamshell model that swaps e-ink for matte OLED and gets a hinge, a keypad and (drum roll!) a camera. As much as I loved my Light Phone II, the slow and frustrating e-ink screen ground me down; with OLED, the main tradeoff for responsiveness and clarity will be shorter battery life. — Read the rest The post Light Flip is a minimalist phone...

North Korea's fake village with painted-on windows

From the South Korean side of the DMZ you can look through binoculars at a tidy North Korean town - bright blue roofs, multicolored walls, a childcare center, schools, a hospital. Kijŏng-dong is a stage set. The buildings are concrete shells with no glass in the windows, and some of the windows are just painted on. — Read the rest The post North Korea's fake village with painted-on windows appeared first on Boing Boing.
