Oh yeah, I remember how it bitched I didn’t have enough room because it was trying to clone my fucking documents folder without being asked.
And heaven forbid actually using it. I stored work files on a paid account and it cloned it locally on my laptop nearly killing my 500gb hard drive I the process. Again, unprompted. It’s such a garbage system.
Do I look like I know what a cloud is?!
That’s my data! I don’t know you!
“Windows, stop syncing my damn files to OneDrive.”
“Copy that, no more syncing. Just give us a moment to delete the unnecessary copies.”
“Great.”
“Ok, all done. All the local data is gone and now only the OneDrive backup exists.”
“Wait no stop”
I uninstall One Drive, and every other Microsoft product that they will let me uninstall, as part of my Windows install process. Then I disable anything else that I can. Microsoft is doing everything it can think of to convince me to finally make the switch to Linux.
Do it. Earlier this year I was exactly at the point you are now, coming from using Microsoft since MS DOS days. I’m glad I did the switch and haven’t looked back since. It was far easier than I thought it would be. If you know how to uninstall Microsoft bloat you can easily learn to use Linux.
I’m not sure that all of the tools that I use will run in Linux. I’m using Visual Studio to write Great Cow BASIC. I’ll probably give it a try and see what happens. I have several pieces of software that are quite old (AutoCAD 2001, PhotoShop CS4, etc) that I keep around because they aren’t the new subscription based everything you produce is ours bullshit. I guess I could run windows in a VM to run those.
Looks like you’re unlucky enough to have just the wrong versions of those software. PS CS4 is rated Bronze on winehq, and AutoCAD 2001 is garbage. Yet 2000 and 2002 are both gold. CS5 is silver, and CS2 and CS6 are both gold
You know, I almost forgot how bad of a company Microsoft has become.
Thanks for the reminder.
Bruh, wdym “has become”? MS was wild in the 90s.
It’s gone from overt to insidious.
My God I hate this. My wife will tell me she’s confused and can’t find any of her documents, and lo and behold the Microsoft somehow enabled OneDrive and either replaced everything on the computer with her account, or moved everything from the computer to God knows where.
Does it help to disable onedrive at startup?
I’ve seen it get turned on all by itself after a feature update. Maybe it can help.
This is her business computer so it needs to be Windows sadly.
“What website do I go to to kick your ass?”
