I just turned it off as it kept bitching about the storage being full.

I don't need you bish, fuck off.
- Oohh, that's a good way to potentially break this. Just download a ton of useless stuff and upload it onto OneDrive. People could make this service really expensive for Microsoft.
  
  better yet upload gigabytes of senseless text and photos and let Microsoft train their AI on that
  
  Double whammy is a good idea.
  
  I want to take a picture of a brick and duplicate it over and over, then zip those up and duplicate that zip into OneDtive until it tells me I can't any more.
  
  So you want to throw a brick through OneDrive's Windows?
  
  Anyone know where I can find a copy of Shrek in 8k resolution.
  
  I have a gif?
