The Indian government has officially rescinded a controversial mandate that would have forced smartphone manufacturers to ship new devices with a state-run cybersafety tool preloaded. The decision, confirmed by India's telecoms ministry on Wednesday, marks a swift policy reversal following significant resistance from global tech giants and privacy advocates. The initial directive, issued confidentially on Nov. 28, set a 90-day deadline for vendors to integrate the Sanchar Saathi app into their firmware, with the stipulation that users must not be allowed to delete it.

LibreOffice includes all the tools you're accustomed to in an office suite: documents, spreadsheets, presentations, formulas, drawing, and even a database. The tools are compatible with the MS Office equivalent, and you can even configure them to default to the Office file format (such as .docx). LibreOffice also has a customizable UI, so you can have the interface you want. LibreOffice is free to install and use on as many computers as needed.
