Even if it is run locally, does it sync between your devices?

Considering we seem to be putting safety largely out the window, I can see someone saying "yeah I want to be able to ask my other computer what I did on a different computer" or whatever. Thats valuable! Ignoring the risks that involves.

Also, even if it is run locally that likely means that some sort of additional logging (possibly screenshots given the mention of "photographic memory") on top of what is already in the system logs to achieve this.

Windows 11 LTSC, which will hopefully have these features ripped out, can't come soon enough.



Windows 11, if one has OneDrive turned on backs _everything_ up in terms of data/files.

I bought a second computer recently which was the same as my Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 --- after setting up Windows I found that it had downloaded _all_ of my files onto the new computer, but the wallpaper wasn't the same --- went to my old one, figured out where the file was and copied it to the desktop. While I was trying to figure out how I'd copy the file over, the file appeared on the desktop of my new computer.


Well to be fair it's a setting you can choose in the OneDrive app. You don't have to do this.
