I wouldn't trust OneDrive with any kind of data. Windows 11 is garbage. Waiting for Windows 12.

Sorry to break the spell but Windows 12 will be worse. Might even be subscription based.

Windows 12 won't be. Windows 12+ChatGPT 100% will be.

I don't understand the chat-gpt thing. What's the big deal about it?

It's an always-on AI that sits directly on your device inside a built-in Neural Processing Unit, or NPU, which takes screenshots every 5 seconds and scans the screenshots for information - including passwords, banking information, and other forms of PII. It then stores all of that information completely unencrypted, in a format that has been proven almost immediately after the beta preview to be able to be exfiltrated within seconds, easily, by a very simple piece of malware. The company claims that all the information is only stored locally, and after the backlash, that the AI would be opt-in only, but we've seen what Microsoft does with their "promises" before.
