  • See that’s the kicker, windows has so many “are you sure” pop ups about stuff that most people just click through them without reading the fine print. People get desensitized to it and just ignore them, or maybe even they just assume microsoft is trying to sell them on a feature they don’t care about.

    And in this case it didn’t save the files to the trash can, I imagine because it was synching local files with what was in one drive. Not the user deleting local files.


  • I had a colleague at work that had to redo several days of work because of the one drive thing.

    The long and short of it is that they noticed that their connection was being super slow, opened up task manager to see if anything was eating bandwidth, saw one drive, went it it, correctly diagnosed that it was uploading files to it and eating up bandwidth, and then deleted all the files in one drive to stop it.

    One drive decided that this meant they wanted all the local copies of the files deleted as well. Like, on the one hand, not the correct way to stop that behavior, but also like, the kind of thing a lot of people would try, and it then deleting all the local files in turn is an unintuitive outcome.

    What an absurdly hostile thing to say to random people on the internet who have, at worst, annoyed you. like, they have not materially impacted your life in any significant way.

    Like, I’m not a vegetarian, and the preachiness of some can be annoying, but like, you could just… not engage? Like, there are so many groups that are actually having a negative material impact on your life, and you’re out here fuming with rage at this?
