Comment Happened to Me (Score 3, Interesting) 161

I just brought a new laptop for when I am off site. I disabled OneDrive and other such crap. Then unknown to me a windows update happened and onedrive started up copied all the files off the laptop and to some server somewhere.
I only found out once I had driven 200 miles for a small weekend break, unpacked the laptop and switched on and all my files gone. Where I was was up in the mountains with no mobile signal so I could not download them, so for one day of my break I had to drive 60 miles to a local town to get wifi in a cafe. Bastard OneDrive, Bastard Microsoft

Oh yes, the good old "why do you want to do that" reply, so you explain why you want to do that only to be told by someone else that you'll be better off buy a new PC or Reinstall the OS or something completely different, in the end you end up going elsewhere like Reddit etc and getting told how to do what you want to do - Great!!!

Now, it's just ask on of the suitable AI chatbots and you get your answer right back along with 99% working code

Why don't the TV companies and streaming services just do what they want to actually do and have the channels just show ads all the time, who needs programmes etc when they can show ads 24hrs a day on every channel, this was they can make a fast buck and squeeze what they can from the advertisers whilst their TV channels and streaming services slow dwindle to the poor suckers who can't be bothered to cancel their subs.

It's nearly like this now UK TV with 7 to 8 minutes of ads every 5 mins of actual programmes. The old 1 hour TV show is now about 23 mins long..

Last year a friend got a 65inch TV from amazon and when opened up the box there was a scratch, albeit a very small scratch on the back. He complained to Amazon to get it returned and they just sent his a new TV to replace and did not have to return the other one as it was not worth it
