These types of posts just remind me how bad people are at using computers.
Ive used windows 11 since it came out. I disable onedrive on the same day. I have never, ever seen this bullshit.
i'm baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they'll never see? do they even know this is what's happening?
Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don't put sensitive information on there.
why would i trust a company with my files when i can simply make my own backups on my own disks without having to pay ransome (subscription) to access my things
My own disks won't survive the house burning down, and while obviously feasible, aren't accessible when I'm not home. I don't need it often, but sometimes I do. But the extra safety of a cloud disk is nice.
You should put files on the cloud that meet the two following criteria:
This could include your hobbyist cad drawings, your twilight fan fic, or anything else that you need or don't want to lose but has very little value to bad actors.
It’s not just some drive, it’s one drive!
Take a wild guess…
Your average pc/tech user is so far removed from having or needing any tech knowledge. Convenience is everything. As long as it works, who cares how it works… and that’s how we ended up with basically everyone walking around with devices in our pockets that can track our location in real time, have microphones which are always on and listening, with cameras that point directly at our faces when we use said devices.
what a brave new world we live in eh?...
As a Linux user for over two decades; oh the irony.
I couldn't resist. Don't take it too seriously, although windows 11's DE mashup of Windows, KDE, Gnome, and Mac is sort of hilarious to see.
I also use Debian, so maybe get off your high horse.
Different OS's do different things.
No high horse. At least no higher than "I disable one drive, unlike those pleebs!"
Come on...... I am not being terribly serious, but the logical thing is not disable One Drive, but avoid the bullshit all together if you are going down that road.
Can we have one mention of windows or macOS without someone coming shilling Linux all smug and superior?
I’m extremely tech savvy, a software engineer and nerd of decades, so I got sick of seeing all the Linux stuff and decided to wipe windows last week.
Installed fedora, set up networking and then the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and did whatever it needed to do with secure boot.
Powered off and on and boom no network connectivity at all and not sure what happened.
Suffice to say it piqued my inner nerd and I’ll put hours into setting this up again as it’s fun, I’ve gone Arch btw, but let’s not pretend that the average user is going to have an easier experience than they would on windows or Mac.
No, never was a serious post. But that user simply chastising all the one drive users was just as rude really.
Just doing the lords work and spreading the news of W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It only has Defender and Edge; no Xbox, App Store, Copilot, nor Recall, or any other bloat. Perfect for gaming. Don't waste your time looking for it on sites like massgravedotdev.
