lite os :GoodA:
Ask gpt to write some powershell scripts for you. Explain how you wish to fully nuke the nagging reminder. It can write some great scripts. Harden security. Lock down ports, etc.

That's because nukes aren't as good as uninstall....

That's what I did to upset Micro$oft so. Now they want access back to my files so they can haphazardly delete stuff and be paid for doing it.

There's an easy solution... install Ubuntu, say bye bye to Microslop

Steam runs games fine on Ubuntu, even those that require Windows, generally

AtlasOS is really nice, it gets a bad name because a lot of people who dunno what they're doing use it though

Will rip Onedrives dirty little roots out, needs a fresh install though, if that's not desired, Win10privacy can also be used to remove a lot of badness

Some bad actors allegedly have privacy complains when it comes to programs from Microsoft but they would defend it when $on¥ demands access to their data on their hard drives.

If it was only their own consoles, I wouldn’t care. But I remember when launching Days Gone and other games published by $on¥ through Steam. At the very first time, the game asks either for full or limited data access.

How do they know the information that copy of the game gets from your hard drive corresponds to your real-world identity? Seems a bit useless unless they know who the information belongs to.

Because I thought the way it works is Steam knows your real-world identity because they have your credit card information, but Sony or whatever game developer presumably doesn't have that information...

And you think $on¥ doesn’t have the ability to infiltrate your browser for valuable information when they have access to your hard drive?
