OneDrive used to be rubbish but nowadays it's reliable. We use it at work and I don't feel any pressure to move to Dropbox. It's also much cheaper.


Considering I have one friend who just lost data due to a OneDrive bug less than a month ago, I'm going to say no. I have zero tolerance for data loss.


OneDrive is awful.

Why are my files I created on my local device not on my device


Click “keep files on my device”.

I had to uncheck this box since I let my OneDrive (business) account bloat up to 2TB.


This should be the default behavior.

Microsoft deliberately chose not to because keeping your files in the cloud is a barrier to easy switching.


Probably because the 1TB of storage you get with Microsoft 365 (or whatever it is called now) for <$100/year is more space than most computers come with.

I’ve had OneDrive for a very long time, and there was a couple of years where they didn’t have the files on demand feature as they rewrote the OneDrive client. It was a major regression for me.

If you don’t like that behavior, you can always just check the box to sync everything. I do that on my machine that has 2TB of storage.


I download an attachment from a colleague. I edit it and save it. I try to send the updated file back via outlook... And it says the file is not available.

This is one of the most basic operations that people do! Why does it not work?

Why would I need to go back in and tell it to keep it locally for when it was local in the first place!?

It's absolutely inane shit like this that drives me up a wall with Microsoft. Do these people use their own products?


To save space, I only have the stuff I am currently working on available locally.

Most laptops aren't having TB sized SSDs.

OneDrive for Business and OneDrive Personal are two different backends. I'm guessing that you're using the "Business" version?



OneDrive still regularly fails when downloading large files... Unusable.


So long as you've backed up the key you can fairly easily decrypt on any machine.


This doesn't sound bitlocker specific, sounds more like a login bypass. If you rely on TPM without PIN then it gets decrypted automatically. This should be fine normally as attackers shouldn't be able to get past login screen. But this exploit shows a way allegedly to get a unrestricted shell in the recovery environment.

The researcher claims a way to bypass PIN too but hasn't revealed it.


Probably since disclosure didn't result in a bounty may as well sell it to someone who would pay.


As a fellow Londoner I can confirm it's worth visiting and the crown jewels are also nicely presented. Don't be fooled into queueing for the bloody tower torture chamber, anything you can see seemed to be a Victorian fantasy.


Capture One which is the biggest Lightroom alternative (popular with wedding and fashion industry) has pretty good tools for batch edit and getting a consistent look across a shot. It's expensive though.


They can do that by jailbreaking models but is that really easier and less work than getting it from Wikipedia?


We will only really know if (or when) it will happen. We can do a sample group of people attempting to create such chemicals under supervision and comparing how helpful they truly are.


Is the lack of CVE because the implementations you wrote are better written and safer than those in the standard libraries or because no one has checked?


Presumably the latter. However, mindlessly bumping package versions to fix bullshit security vulnerabilities is now industry standard practice. Once your client/company reaches a certain size, you will pretty much have to do it to satisfy the demands of some sort of security/compliance jarl.


And yet npm install [package with 1000 recursieve dependencies] is not considered a supply chain risk at all to those security/compliance jarls.

Let alone having to check all licenses...


Well there's probably far less attack surface.


The big difference is that 'real' nappies become extremely uncomfortable when wet (child immediately cries to be changed) so toddlers get a strong incentive to stop wetting whereas with modern disposables they barely even notice when they wee.


I assume the esrog is the primeval citron but I've noticed that Jewish tradition (which rejects the use of hybrid citrons) allows some surprisingly different citrons in practice, popularly associated with Israel, Morocco, Yemen, Corfu etc. These differ considerably in eg rind thickness.


It's still unavailable in many regions.
