My teeth hurt. Visitors lined up two days in a row. Hoping I can avoid saying something crushingly stupid to the recently bereaved one.

I thought to just download my OneDrive files onto my computer, back them up and unlink my pc so it couldnโt fill that storage back up again. Well downloading my stuff isnโt working. They download as zip files that only contain error and .txt.
Iโm also now being told I canโt send or receive emails because Iโm over storage and have to pay for more - recurring subscription of course.
Itโs so very convenient that they force your files onto their cloud (removing them from your computer) and then somehow the process of getting them back is obstructive. Really slimy.
I may end up having to pay to get to the task later but this is making me seriously reconsider Windows.
Microsoft prey on fear uncertainty and doubt. Also on compatibility between organisations. The only reason I donโt walk for Linux is 1. I want to make sure I have everything first and 2. because Iโm not confident of being able to reliably make everything work as I need it to.
Not sure what your arrangement is, but in windows with one drive, in explorer you can select the files and folders you want, right click, and select โalways keep on this deviceโ. This means you have a local copy in addition to the onedrive copy.

What was the size of the zip file that you downloaded?
Try downloading a smaller directory or file and see if you can open it.

@melbaboutown @YarraByte in the process of DeGoogling and it's similar. Though so far I'm only partway through Photos. It was always the intention to bait and switch and capture financially once the difficulty of leaving became extreme. I was always aware of Facebook which seemed blatant to me: Google and M$ actually more subtle.

woke up wondering if I put the bins out wrongly, I had ๐ fixed now
Had 'his' first mate over. Vomit before 9. Yeah, cheers thanks a lot.
Charming, make them clean it up.
Fucking lightweights.
But seriously, that's very poor form and childish.
Hope they're ashamed.

Halfway through Animal Kingdom S2 so far. Idk, it's not terrible by far but it's not really gripping my attention much either, I fast forward through all the alpha male stuff. I like Shawn Hatosy though and everyone says he does great in all 5 seasons so I guess I'll keep going
E: also I'm so over this heat, it's driving me mad. Literally the only silver lining being that there's less acclimatisation needed for my upcoming trip.
E2: okay wow that scene of Pope and the bible study woman was pretty unexpectedly hot though
