breaking free and going retro. ditching o365 and moving off the cloud. keeping stuff local and no longer paying for things I don't use.
i was paying for convenience, but never using it.That's something I'm thinking about as well. The difference is I do use some of the convenience.
Will you back up your data to some kind of external hard drive, or send it off to a cloud provider?
Yes. (Both).
Files that I regularly use and need sync'd (pics and such from my phone) are on my NextCloud server which is backed up to Wasabi. (~1TB of data right now).

No, that actually lives in my hosted lab... $27 /month for Quad Core, 16GB RAM, 2TB usable (2 x 2TB raid 1) from KimSufi.
The only thing in my home right now that I actually NEED is my Plex server.... but I rclone that to Wasabi too, lol.

Swapping a service technician's old laptop with a new one. The old one has a dead spot on the screen that looks to be the exact size and shape of a quarter, but they swear that they don't know how it happened...

That sounds like the kind of hosting service that might match what I want. I’ll look into it.

Still don't know wtf caused it, but the laptop is a Win 7 refurb from 3+ years ago, so it's just not worth repairing.

A new screen might be $12 bucks, what model laptop is it?

Dell Inspiron N5050. After a quick search, the best prices I have found are $50-60, which is in line with what @JaredBusch and @stacksofplates mentioned above.
This is a bit unbelievable, but I don't need to worry about replacing the screen right now. The service dept. manager just informed me that another technician called in and said that they ran their laptop over with a vehicle and it is now FUBAR'd. They need a replacement tomorrow, and since I am fresh out of spares, they are OK with me issuing this one as-is for now.
