That's hillarious. I get site inspection photos. It always makes me laugh when Google photos asks me if I remember this random sandy lot from 5 years ago. No I don't google photos no I don't. The future is so dumb and I love it.
I took photos of where I parked my car, as it was a quite big multi store garage and I used my xar only once a week. Got a cute collage of 5 cars with flowers one day 💓 do you remember?
I expect my laundry from 5 years popping up on my toaster in the future.
Better than Facebook - I had to delete my account and start over cause it kept showing me memories with my ex and old holiday photos. Cause that's what people need - a reminder of their time in hell.
i'm baffled by people who use one drive, especially in its default setting where it saves all your shit in the cloud. Even if they have a perfectly stable Internet 24/7, do they not feel weird having a company keep their files on some drive they'll never see? do they even know this is what's happening?

It’s not just some drive, it’s one drive!
do they even know this is what’s happening?
Take a wild guess…
Your average pc/tech user is so far removed from having or needing any tech knowledge. Convenience is everything. As long as it works, who cares how it works… and that’s how we ended up with basically everyone walking around with devices in our pockets that can track our location in real time, have microphones which are always on and listening, with cameras that point directly at our faces when we use said devices.
Is cloud storage a new concept to you? Have you not heard of iCloud or Google drive? Cloud backups make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Just don't put sensitive information on there.
There's something that strikes me as fundamentally hilarious that "good with computers" in the Windows world means "disabling all of Windows' pushy services that rip control from the user and sell their data."
Like "I think I'm pretty good with computers!"
"Oh yeah? How much of Windows have you managed to sabotage so it stays out of your way?"
LMAO . It could be such a good OS but its dark and anti-patterns are truly bizarre.
Just doing the lords work and spreading the news of W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It only has Defender and Edge; no Xbox, App Store, Copilot, nor Recall, or any other bloat. Perfect for gaming. Don't waste your time looking for it on sites like massgravedotdev.
Can we have one mention of windows or macOS without someone coming shilling Linux all smug and superior?
I’m extremely tech savvy, a software engineer and nerd of decades, so I got sick of seeing all the Linux stuff and decided to wipe windows last week.
Installed fedora, set up networking and then the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and did whatever it needed to do with secure boot.
Powered off and on and boom no network connectivity at all and not sure what happened.
Suffice to say it piqued my inner nerd and I’ll put hours into setting this up again as it’s fun, I’ve gone Arch btw, but let’s not pretend that the average user is going to have an easier experience than they would on windows or Mac.
yeah especially funny given many times I dumped a load of things like pictures of my dad after he died. Oh look int 2016 your dad was drafted into the korean war and took a picture in his uniform before he left.
The pictures were uploaded in 2016, so the service mistakenly thinks that it happened that year, when in fact it was taken 195x and just uploaded decades later.
There's nothing nefarious happening here. OP is just backing up everything OneDrive asks them about. This happened with my Telegram images and I had a bunch of memes get backed up.
Super easy for the technologically illiterate to have their pornography displayed front and center for all your co workers to see which will never not be funny
It's from their pictures folder, which is backed up by one drive and might include a screenshot folder or something of the sort. OP just needs to choose what to backup instead of just letting it backup everything.
