I have to use Shitdows 11 for work and honestly, I want to perform a lobotomy on myself because each fucking time I want to close the Notepad, Shitdows doesn't allow me because "It have to sync", why the fuck should a notepad sync???
Thats your company. Notpad doesnt sync for the rest of us
Nah, that's probably because I have to use a Microsoft account and sync that stupid notepad with my Microsoft account, but why would someone (in general, not this company) would like to sync their notes between devices? Why is so hard to Microsoft to just leave a plain .txt in some directory instead of uploading it to the cloud? And yeah, I know is to sell your data
You don't.
They might if it’s for work. Idk. I don’t work there.
