It’s Microsoft. For some insane reason, excel formulas are localized. E.g. German Excel uses “SUMME()” instead of “SUM()”.

It’s insanely annoying because it sport of makes it more difficult to ask for help (I.e. only Germans might know what SVERWEIS does). And if you manage to find a solution in English, you need to translate it.

Steam is partially funded by underage gambling. They know about this. They could literally shut it down within hours.

They’re better than most, but that is a major moral failure they don’t get nearly enough flak for.

Nah, let them file all they want, so long as they pay for them. If they’re bogus patents, they’re rejected and it’s basically just a money transfer to the patent office employees.
