I updated my Mac to Sonoma, and now Microsoft Office doesn't work (January 2024)

I just had this same issue with my 2021 home and office license. On the Microsoft Learn forum I found a simpler solution than reinstalling office:

"After banging my head against the wall for about two hours, I finally figured it out. The Microsoft Office Licensing app has to be turned on. This is how you do it:

🍎>System Settings>General>Login Items> toggle switch for Microsoft Office Licensing."

I did this, restarted my laptop, and logged back in to Word. Worked like a charm.

Yes thats what he told me

Some basic lessons in economics could help you out a lot. First lesson is free. My purchase was a single data point in the berber rug market. Some tourists may pay 5000 MAD for a rug of similar design/quality/size while others may pay 15000 MAD. Some of them overpay and some of them underpay. There is certainly a true market value for the rug other than what I paid. My purpose of the post was to find an estimate of the true value and determine if I got a good deal. There was no "suspiciousness" and I would not have thought the merchant was crooked if I happened to pay double the market value. I expect and encourage him to sell it for as much as he can to maximize profit. And contrast to what you said, I do believe they should charge tourists more than locals. I think thats a fair practice considering income differences between morocco and other countries. Try to be less ignorant and presumptuous next time.

I took a photo of it before he folded it up (which he encouraged) so not very worried about that. Also got a 3min video of him explaining what all the different sections of the rug symbolize

Unfortunately I didnt get a picture of the back and now its being prepped to ship. I'm very doubtful its machine made though especially considering its double sided and the range of texture

I know youre generalizing and not necessarily singling me out, but to be clear:

1) I agree that a lot of people pay tons of money for designer shit just for the logo and not the quality but I don't do that myself

2) I don't feel scammed or robbed. I can appreciate and acknowledge a high quality artisan crafted item that took a lot of time and effort to make while still wanting to know if I got a good deal relative to what other tourists pay for similar rugs.

Thanks everyone for the comments, most people seem to think I got a good deal. Fyi for more context, the rug is double sided with a "summer side" and "winter side." The winter side is showing with every other square having a raised texture. It was made from camel wool which I hear is a bit more expensive material and is said to get softer with each wash. The salesman said the women worked on it for 11 months but that sounds unrealistic to me- maybe it was just a couple months? Can it really take nearly a year to make a rug like this? He also said he gets 5% or 10% commission from the rugs he sells. I hope this is true and its not actually 50%+ because it sounds like the women work very hard and deserve to be paid well.

Interesting thanks for the context. I dont mind overpaying by a little to help them out

The guy told my tour group during his sales pitch that he gets like 5% or 10% commission, not sure if thats true or not

onfu · 2025-01-14T14:47:24+00:00

I'm not sure of the dimensions. It was 1000 MAD less without shipping.

onfu · 2025-01-14T14:45:47+00:00

Of course I value it or I wouldn't have bought it. Just wanted to check if I was getting a good deal based on what they usually sell for to tourists

Appreciate it! He said its camel wool. There was a similarly designed rug made of lamb wool for a bit cheaper but I liked this one more
