    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.

    Jokes on them. I uploaded 1 TB of pirated content years ago before the 365 subscription expired and OneDrive hasn’t functioned since.

      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.

          Indeed, it’s that rapist mentality, just like Rossmann calls it out in his videos.
