#PSA - I recently stopped my windows based computer backing every document and photo to the #Cloud because fuck #Microsoft and their #LLM - I never asked for their fucking cloud storage in the first place. Or their LLM that they incorrectly call AI - it is not AI and can’t even add up.
Anyway, as part of this process, Microsoft then automatically deleted all my files - *including* the versions on my own computer. Fuck Microsoft.
As it happens, I back up all my computer files on an external HardDisk on the first day of every month. As a result, I was able to copy the files and directories back to my computer with little disruption.
If you are going to disconnect from your cloud storage - be warned in advance … back up all your files and directories on an external Hard Disk first.

Did you buy Minecraft through Mojang before Microsoft forced account migrations?
Some folks are working on a class action lawsuit against Microsoft because of people being locked out of playing the game they paid for, just because they didn't migrate their account in time. And because of constant updates to the terms and services without proper notice given to customers.
Whether or not you lost access to play Minecraft which you paid for, please consider adding your info to their surveys:

Dans le navigateur Edge de Microsoft, il semblerait que Microsoft ait activé CoPilot pour vous aider à remplir les formulaires. Ce qui veut dire que MICROSOFT REÇOIT EN TEMPS RÉEL CE QUE VOUS TAPEZ DANS N'IMPORTE QUEL FORMULAIRE, sur n'importe quel site web.

The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!
On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.
This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.
Yours may be one of them!
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Microsoft Warns 240 Million Windows Users—Stop Using Your PC
All change for PC owners as deadline gets closer.Forbes
New Windows fuckery: I've set up Windows Update to only get minor and security updates. Until recently it was fine. But now "Windows 11 version 24H2" is available and it really wants to be installed on my computer. Including adding an update icon in the taskbar with a notification badge which I can only "Hide for now". The icon is disabled in the regular settings, and it looks like my last resort is to fiddle with the Windows Registry. Again.
Fuck you Microsoft!
"To all my writer friends that use MS Word - Microsoft has turned their Al bits and bots on to automatically go through anything done via Word. Here's how to turn it off. File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Connected Experiences"
On the Mac I found it under Word/Excel/Etc > Preferences > Privacy, and near the bottom was the checkbox for "Turn on optional connected experiences" which of course was on by default.
Can anyone help me how can I turn off the heating on my Windows 11 machine? Thanks.
The only other explanation I can think of is having a Bitcoin miner installed called System Idle Process.
I don't know when was the last time I heard the fan was stopped, not in the past few days. (Yes, I tried to turn it off and on again.)

Google has been declared a monopolist, but will the company finally be broken up or are we about to see the limits of antitrust once again?
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Rob Larson about where Google’s monopoly fight goes from here and what we should remember about how Microsoft evaded being broken up in the early 2000s.

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

Dzięki za szybką (re)akcję 👍
Co do p.1 to w tekście podanej strony ja nie podnosiłem braku informacji o współpracy z google a jedynie to, że dość istotna informacja o udziale google w rekrutacji jest wyłącznie w metadanych.
A co do reszty. No cóż... #demagog nie wyłamuje się z powszechnego "standardu" przyspawania do big-techów czyli zakładania, że na pewno każdy/a ma konto w google itp.
W takim razie przy kolejnych wyborach może weryfikaton za pieniądze #microsoft 'u z obowiązkową komunikacją na #teams i dokumentami w #msoffice ?

One more proof that "[…] Microsoft treated the PC hardware platform as if it owned it, and thus hurt consumers, software developers, PC OEMs, OS competitors, and the industry in general. That's a layman's definition of abusing a monopoly." (Jean-Louis Gassée)

Support-Ende von Windows 10 soll für gigantischen Müllberg sorgen
Am 14. Oktober 2025 wird der Support von Windows 10 eingestellt. Das könnte dazu führen, dass rund 240 Millionen PCs als Elektroschrott auf einer Mülldeponie landen, wie Analyseunternehmen Canalys befürchtet. Wären alles diese Geräte aufeinandergestapelte Laptops, wäre der Stapel in etwa 4.080 Kilometer hoch. Das sind rund 600 Kilometer mehr als der Durchmesser des Mondes.

Ganz genau... wenn jede Implementation beliebig von der Empfehlung (Recommendation) abweicht, kann man sich ein Standardprotokoll auch sparen... 😉
Ernsthaft, beliebig neue Felder zu nutzen, mag vereinzelt 'ne nette Idee sein, bringt aber zwangsläufig Probleme in der Kommunikation mit sich...
Vergleiche mal die Art, wie #Microsoft & Co. z.B. den E-Mail-Standard unterlaufen... 🙁

Today is 2023-09-07 and the waiting period to have my #Microsoft account deleted (they call it "closed", obviously in conflict with GDPR).
Waiting period ended 2023-09-05.
When I try to login today Microsoft asks me if I want to re-open the account:
Reopen account?
You're trying to sign in to an account that's going to be closed on 9/5/2023. You can choose to reopen the account. Or, if you cancel, your account stays marked for closure. Learn more about the effects of closing an account.
What do you want to do?
Can't believe how broken this entire process is. Are there no oversight agencies in germany looking into such things? @Verbraucherzentrale

They've gotten so brazen about it. Shit like this - the #Microsoft #Edge browser routing every image through some "AI enhancer" that also tracks what you're viewing - is now a default setting. I suppose at least people who use Edge can opt out, for now, if they know to.
We need #privacy legislation so badly.
