"accidentally"

Microsoft also told Windows Latest that OneDrive Photos cannot currently be removed from PCs unless you delete OneDrive entirely
Seems like a pretty easy way to remove it right there
“Accidentally”
Microsoft’s notion of consent is terrifying.
Yeah, I removed OneDrive at least twice and they "accidentally" reinstalled and reactivated it on two updates.
The second time I found out about it because I got a warning that they had uploaded too many of my files against my consent, my allotted cloud storage was full, and if I wanted access to my files I had to pay up.
I removed it again, then there was another update. Guess whose files "accidentally" got held for ransom again?
Now I'm on Linux.
I quit because of the constant advertising causing interruptions to my workflow. Unacceptable. I switched over to Linux generally because I kept finding Windows to be a deeply unserious and frankly disrespectful OS.
This was me with edge. After the third time that was installed without my consent I was like FTS.
"I don't even wait. And when you're a big company, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the auto-update. You can do anything."
Hey, if it's good enough for the esteemed President of the United States of America, it's good enough for Microsoft.
I came in to say just that, so, I'm just going to upvote you and move on.

There are no accidents.
Wow, Microsoft sure has been making a lot of accidents lately. Almost like things are being done without human oversight.
The easy way to remove the malware is to install Linux.
That's just totally untrue. Openbsd is also an option.
That's why I accidentally installed Linux Bazite.
How well does it handle windoze games?
Kinda like how the wives of cops always accidentally have black eyes.
How many times could Microsoft slap their users in the face after swearing not to (with K2)? I've long lost count. The number is too high though.
I haven’t used windows in years except when my mother asks me to help her out occasionally, and I don’t miss it at all.
Used to need a computer. Haven't had one for years, don't miss it.
can't even imagine the morse code paddle setup and mental capacity needed to transcode the REST requests to post this. Do you write down the session key, or just remember it?
