That would fail our current process of approving where we can store documents, just as well I have a Mac for work

It’s not difficult to turn off.

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.

It’s just an innocent bug that happens every update!

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

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.

Ehh that’s just file stealing. Could expect that from Microsoft

frankgrimeszz@lemmy.world on 25 Jun 2024 09:13 next collapse

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

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.

krolden@lemmy.ml on 25 Jun 2024 17:09 next collapse

They dont care about piracy unless its a large organization.

DeaDvey@lemmy.ml on 26 Jun 2024 01:01 collapse

What about default opt-out on “don’t automatically upload files to onedrive”

KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml on 25 Jun 2024 15:09 next collapse

Uninstall OneDrive, problem solved.

You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn’t come back again a few Windows updates down the road.

Default_Defect@midwest.social on 26 Jun 2024 01:46 next collapse

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.

TwinTusks@bitforged.space on 26 Jun 2024 03:19 collapse

I uninstalled onedrive with Geek Uninstaller on several of company PCs and none of it had come back.
