See? That's why i use third-party apps for almost everything since years, if i have to use Windows. Can't trust these fuckers.

Fortunately, I run my own Batcloud, so I don't have OneDrive installed.

My onedrive password expired on my work (and only windows) machine 2 years ago. I have never updated it, and that seems like a really good decision in retrospect.

I feel good when i realize windows' market share has been declining slowly over the last decade. They had it coming, half baked trash product, i can't believe people pay for it. Ms should pay people using it, as beta testers.

Just lie. Give them junk data and make their analytics worse for annoying you. I have never been bothered by the "explain yourself" dropdowns because I just select a random option and move on.

One drive invasiveness plus a ruined context menu are why I don't want win 11

What’s next? Hopefully, Microsoft won’t start injecting a poll at shutdown demanding to know why I’m turning my PC off for the day.

They already do this in Windows Server. Every unscheduled shutdown and restart requires a reason so it can be properly audited.
