I'm not sure how bad that really is or how dependent it is on cloud services.

I recently picked up a Hololens 1 because they are pretty cheap. Cortana is not working and the Microsoft Store has slim pickings, but it does come with a recent version of the Edge browser.

(Kinda funny to browse Edge with a BT mouse, keyboard and headset but it sure beats using the clicker or trying to use hand gestures.)

I hope it does keep basically working, but they are quite categorical about it! "The device will cease to function" (reliance on network and cloud services for unrelated functionality is by itself a fatal flaw, and something that also has been all too common in recent years).
