      • Killing the cloud
        • Do you know how hard it is to get off the cloud? First of all, Windows signs you up for OneDrive without even asking you. It just appears. It’s syncing capability is ass and it occasionally reads files that aren’t there, forcing you to either upgrade storage or delete stuff. There’s like a dozen hidden steps to kill it. And google photos? Don’t even get me started. You have to REQUEST a data transfer that takes anywhere between a few hours and a few days. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s sent to you in 2MB chunks that you need to individually unzip and sort out. It’s not over yet though – a bunch of the files are just metadata that you probably don’t care about so it’s super messy unless you take time to painstakingly clean it up yourself. Like, it is NOT easy.
