    Is LibreOffice Good Enough to Replace Microsoft Office?

    Microsoft Office is still the default in most workplaces, but a lot of people are saving money by switching to LibreOffice. That makes sense. On paper, it does almost everything Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can do, and it’s free. But what about in practice?  Does LibreOffice hold up for work on Windows? Have you run into problems collaborating with coworkers who use Microsoft Office? I’m curious to hear from people who actually rely on LibreOffice day-to-day for their job. Is it good enough to replace Microsoft Office in a professional setting, or are there still deal-breaking gaps?

    Wired headphones have the benefit of never needing to be charged, but many modern phones need an adapter to support them. Wireless headphones don't get tangled or restrict your movement, but they can be more expensive. So which do you prefer?

    Have You Tried Using Python to Modify Images Directly in Excel?

    Microsoft has rolled out Python support in Excel. Now you can actually use it to manipulate images. With libraries like Pillow, it’s possible to detect if a picture is blurry, resize or crop images, or even overlay graphics, all without leaving Excel. Have you tried using Python in Excel for image editing or analysis? What kinds of projects or workflows has this helped you with? If you haven’t used it, can you see a situation where this would come in handy?

    Do You Follow Celebrities on Social Media?

    Social media is great for connecting with your friends and family, but you can of course use it to follow anyone you want, including celebrities. Do you follow high-profile figures like actors and singers on the likes of Instagram and TikTok, or do you keep it strictly personal?
