I love the journalism on that site, pretty direct
Stealing all your files to train AI. And they complain that MS Office gets pirated. Privacy and default Opt-Out needs to be a Federal Law. Corporations need to pay millions in fines when they violate that.
They dont care about piracy unless its a large organization.
What about default opt-out on “don’t automatically upload files to onedrive”
Ehh that’s just file stealing. Could expect that from Microsoft
Jokes on them. I uploaded 1 TB of pirated content years ago before the 365 subscription expired and OneDrive hasn’t functioned since.
That would fail our current process of approving where we can store documents, just as well I have a Mac for work
That could be dangerous for those in domestic abuse situations! Oh gosh 😮😥
#RUNBSD time
Time to switch to Linux
Uninstall OneDrive, problem solved.
*Uninstall Windows, problem solved.
FTFY
You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn’t come back again a few Windows updates down the road.
I uninstalled onedrive with Geek Uninstaller on several of company PCs and none of it had come back.
It was easy for me, and has never come back. Then again, a lot of the fear mongering I see about windows has never been my experience with it.
It’s not difficult to turn off.
It will turn itself back on during a background update, though. Should I be expected to check it daily to make sure Microscam isn’t stealing my data?
If you HAVE to use the toilet of an OS. Use a system(machine) startup script that runs a cleanupon every boot. Its a hot mess solution to a hot mess OS. But at the end of the day they cannot be trusted and changes are coming to windows access levels which will prevent the cleanup of “essential” apps, services, and configurations.
So switch to Mint.
switch to Mint.
That’s the right move!
Should not, wonder if there’s any adguard/pihole lists to smack OneDrive/box/Dropbox/etc domains and just take these services out before they can start.
Well everything is dandy fine then ? It’s no problem if someone does anything without consent as long as you can “easily” do something about it heh ?
Yeah, the body has a way of shutting that whole thing down.
Indeed, it’s that rapist mentality, just like Rossmann calls it out in his videos.
Microsoft: It’s not difficult to turn back on
It’s just an innocent bug that happens every update!
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
Like a cockroach?
